@VO101_Tom said in Not looking forward to the VR update:
I just can’t understand how someone can complain about a feature that may not be for them, but at the same time doesn’t take anything away from them, just gives some “other” guys an extra fun.
Yep, it’s like people complaining about MP improvements because they only play single player. Unfortunately, VR just seems to be one of those polarising issues.
@ohommes Are you definitely in the f16 and not one of the f5s?
@TheChemistAstro said in Not looking forward to the VR update:
@delenda Frankly I don’t even understand how VR is a polarising issue… you don’t have to use it lol, and it offers unprecedented realism and immersion for those of us who aren’t rich enough to build a cockpit in their house.
Yep, I’ve been having this discussion for years on this forum (just checked, last one was 2016 
https://forum.falcon-bms.com/post/145562 ).
@rubbra Yep same - I also added it to games settings like so 
@GhastlyTT I think I fixed the spatial sound issue. You can disable Windows Sonic but not in the Spatial Sound section of the device. You have to click Advanced under Enhance Audio and then disable Spatial Sound from in there otherwise, WMR just keeps enabling Windows Sonic.

I believe there is actually slighty greater amount of central detail with the Reverb G2 vs the Pimax 8k X
100% this plus I get better perf (less stuttering) with the G2 in DCS.
@Flow32 said in What’s the best VR for BMS ? Pico 4? Or Meta Quest 2?:
Pico4 would be a very good choice in my opinion.
OK FOV, awesome stereo overlap, pancake lenses with good clarity. For the price you can’t go wrong.
If you can stretch the budget, quest pro.
If you can stretch it even more, pimax crystal
If you’re the ultimate baller, Varjo XR3 Focal edition
Ageed, I haven’t touched my G2 or 8KX since I got the Pico. 8KX might be better FOV but the faff of the software and lighthouses means it’s stayed in the box. Pico + Virtual Desktop is great.
@SOBO-87 Just double checked, it’s been (just about) 1 year - 9th Jan. I’ll just keep being patient - good on him for getting an AF contract.
@Snake122 Ah man that’s a shame - presumably there’s no way to take the movement from Point CTRL and simulate that movement using the Windows API, as if the mouse has been moved?
Has there been any movement on full Point CTRL support? Should be getting mine soon and would love to use it in BMS!
@Snake122 hmm strange, no, I don’t notice anything like that
@Snake122 said in What’s the best VR for BMS ? Pico 4? Or Meta Quest 2?:
@Flow32 @delenda what’s your experience of the night haze caused by the pancake lenses? @delenda interesting over the G2 and 8k X, since I have /both that makes me very interested that the clarity is best from the Pico4…
What’s the night haze? Haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.

@delenda
Very interesting. Can you give me your pc specs, especially the graphic card you are using? Do you have any performance issues?
4090
7950x3d with BMS forced to VCache CCD
64GB DDR5
Nope, no perf issues when streaming over wifi.

@b0bl00i said in VR vs TrackIR:
I used vr quite a bit and also used trackir since it came out.
It’s a hazzle taking it on and off fumbling around looking for buttons etc. Also, forget alt tab to windows for changing songs in Spotify or doing something else like taking notes
Hopefully VR controller support will arrive soon which should make startup & cockpit interaction a bit easier.
You can use SteamVR’s desktop feature and assign spotify its own window, so if you absolutely have to change a song mid-flight, it’d shouldn’t be too difficult to open the spotify desktop window in vr, change song and close the desktop.
Taking (and referring to) notes is a pain but I think mostly alleviated with OpenKneeboard and a tablet. My handwriting is now my biggest issue with notes
@Atlas Pico 4 - recently swapped from a G2.
Upgraded a few parts since too, so I need to see how far I can push some settings. I’ll try and get a block of free time to do some real testing.
