TED Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 Has anyone seen, heard or even got their hands on this in dcs yet? I’m very curious to see how it will perform. I currently own a pico 4 and love it for dcs. It replaced my 8kx and was better in every way. However it would be great to see some hand tracking options and decent pass through that this seems to offer. I’m guessing it’s just hitting the market now so probably not many real users have it yet but I expect they soon will start trickling in.
VirusAM Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 what is the difference with the normal Pico 4? R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 N/A Realsimulator FFSB MKII Ultra, VKB Stecs Max, Winwing F-16EX Throttle, Winwing Orion (Skywalker) Pedals, Razer Tartarus V2 SpeedMaster Flight Seat, JetSeat
mrsylvestre Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 (edited) 1 hour ago, VirusAM said: what is the difference with the normal Pico 4? Better processor, slightly better wifi, multiple cameras for improved mixed reality, slightly different controllers. Resolution is the same, FOV is the same, ergonomics are the same (good). The most notable difference for DCS use should be the AV1 encoding thanks to the enhanced processor that will slightly improve image quality (reduce compression artefacts). All in all, it will be on par or even slightly better than Quest 3 for PCVR (Pico wins on ergonomics & binocular overlap). For standalone games that run on the headset, the Quest 3 will continue to benefit from a richer application library. As for Pico 4, the cost of VD (20€) and a cheap dedicated router should be factored in for best performance.

RealDCSpilot Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Don't forget that the CPU/GPU is up to 2.5x faster than in the Pico 4. Since VD and Pico Connect do VR compositing on the HMD, this process also benefits from the performance that the Snapdragon XR2 Gen2 provides. All in all the Pico 4 Ultra is a great upgrade.

TED Posted October 7, 2024 Author Posted October 7, 2024 Sounds quite interesting. I’m looking forward to seeing some real user reviews. Might be worth upgrading my p4.
TED Posted October 8, 2024 Author Posted October 8, 2024 I do think it may be a really good option for dcs. I just wonder if they haven't priced the pico a bit too high, asbit now comes in at a higher price than the q3. I'm not sure yet if many will be tempted by that. It's a shame because I actually think the pico brand are making a really nice product.
RealDCSpilot Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 A lot of the hardware is more advanced and newer than in the Q3. Wifi7, the iToF 3D sensor, bigger amount of LPDDR5 RAM, Bluetooth 5.3, 32 MP cameras, Quick Charge 4.0... It's the overall much better device. i9 13900K @5.5GHz, Z790 Gigabyte Aorus Master, RTX4090 Waterforce, 64 GB DDR5 @5600, PSVR2, Pico 4 Ultra, HOTAS & Rudder: all Virpil with Rhino FFB base made by VPforce, DCS: all modules
