Understanding Quest 3
-
Hello everyone.
I received the Quest 3 last week, is my 1st time in VR.
There is a thing that made me mad.
Sometimes when i try to fly on BMS i’m only able to see just a window, not all the around me.
Where’s my fault?
I link a video that is too long, i know you can understand after a couple of seconds.ps: at some point you can read “desktop 1, 2 and 3”; 2 and £ are the MFDs but it’s the same even if i shut that 2 others.

So I assume you are using a quest 3 with the link cable and Oculus Link. Currently OpenXR is not supported in 4.37.3 but it is coming. So you will need to figure out how to connect using SteamVR. I know its possible if you use Virtual Desktop and the Virtual desktop streamer app and run SteamVR through Virtual Desktop. BMS should kick into VR mode when launching from Alt Launcher if you select VR.
Other than that I don’t have much else to offer you. Maybe you could post some more technical details of how you have SteamVR / Quest 3 setup on your PC.

I’m new to the Q3 myself but have had other headsets before. It looks like you’re in the Q3 “lobby”?? You want to install SteamVR which will then put you in the SteamVR “lobby”. You also want to have Virtual Desktop for now. Start up both SteamVR and Virtual Desktop. The 2D UI will show up in the SteamVR “lobby” but when the game goes into the 3D cockpit, Virtual Desktop will take over and put you in 3D.Hope that helps!

ok guys.
In the end i gave up.
The problem is before any visualization issue.
The VR gives me headache and nausea, even with a little Cessna on MSFS.
After a week trying little by little increasing time but after no more than 10 minutes my sickness starts.
The sickness was lasting all day even if i take some drugs for headache and it’s not easy working this way.
I’ll go on with TrackIR as in the last year. -

Seems like you are sensitive to VR?
I had this issue when I was starting out way back with the HTC Vive and a little bit later on with the Reverb G2 on racing games. I believe I eventually developed a bit of resistance. Just like when I started out with TrackIR and would get neck pains/stiffness after extended play, but later on was no longer an issue.I guess at the end of the day, it’ll be up to you if you stick with it or go back to TIR. Personally, doing formation flying and AAR on a triple screen setup with the fisheye effect and doing the same on VR, it’s a no brainer for me and now I’m doing all I can to make VR as configured to my preferences as possible.

@Atlas
yes
I’m very sensitive.
The experience of being “inside” the cockpit was incredible, too much problems.
I bought it just for Falcon BMS, no other interest in VR, so instead than let rusting inside the box i prefer to have money back and maybe get a better joystick and throttle. -
@69tantra
Was it laggy/slow? Or just VR nausea? -
Usually nausea (at first) is caused by system performance not quite being able to keep up, so you get lag in movements (often barely perceptible) which really messes with you until you’re a more seasoned VR user when you might be able to put up with it more.
For BMS, turning down / off aliasing and object detail is often a good starting point to help with performance. Or just try a lower VR resolution (not the in game one)

@Atlas just VR nausea, no lag or slow movements
@rubbra i don’t know if is a bad system performance (i don’t think so), but a couple months ago i went to cinema with my son for “madame web” movie and that kind pictures (i don’t know the exact english term for the way which the director moves cams) made e get out after the first half.

Sensitive it is then. I remember when I first started out, I needed to have a fan on all the time so that my face and body could get ventilation. I would also drink water before and during VR play. -
@69tantra - I have been using a Quest 2 for over a year and Quest 3 fir the last two months - whilst you may not be interested in VR if you want any chance of really enjoying this awesome kit I would recommend 1. Play some VR games whilst sitting - there are a number of good games that will help train your body - over a period of time most people get used to it and then you can enjoy. Secondly - reseach the best settings so that you get good performance - run the headset on 120mhz refresh and play around this settings to get a smooth experience - both of these will reduce the sickness. Lastly - I have found that virtual desktop (assuming you have a really good wi-fi connection) gives better performance than a wired connection.
