Is There Such A Thing As "Too Much" GPU for FC VR MP?

You're right; the graphic quality of the G2 is way better than the CV1.  I want to buy it but there's one thing standing in my way.

 

To maintain VR immersion in my cockpit simulator, I need the virtual cockpit walls to "stay put" when I grab the coaming and pull myself over for a look-see down the fuselage.  I can do that with my CV1 because it has external sensors. 

 

(If you've seen my video, DER JAGDFLEIGERS, there's a good example of that when I first got hit by the Scout and followed him West, lost visual against the ground clutter, and stuck my head out the side of the plane for a look.  You can hear the difference in how much relative wind is hitting me in the face when my head is outside the cockpit.  I need to maintain that kind of immersion.) 

 

But that wasn't possible with the headset-mounted cameras of the PIMAX; the cockpit walls just "moved away" from me when I leaned in that direction and I couldn't see the sides of my plane or the Earth below.  That's the main reason I sent it back.  

 

Now I'm wondering if it's like that with the internal cameras of the G2.

 

If so, all still may not be lost. 

 

The G2 works with the Steam Valve Base Station and Controllers. So, cutting to the chase asap... (whew!)  

 

QUESTION: Will using the G2 with the Steam Base Station enable the same kind of "fixed" cockpit environment as I have now with the CV1 and External Sensors?

 

It's kind of an abstract concept; don't know how well I described it but if you understood what I'm talking about, any info about this would sure help.  Thanks!

 

ADDIT:  To clarify, I guess what I'm wondering is Will I need a Steam Base Station to play FC in "Room Scale" with the Reverb G2?  Or is RS just a setting I can select in Steam or the G2 settings?

 

?

The G2 sometimes needs its 'boundary' reset but you can see if it does or not as soon as you fire up the MRP software, takes a few seconds. Then in the game you can do exactly as you desire. 

Edit. Some people think it's poor lighting that squiffs the inbuilt sensors but once I've reset the seated boundary on mine I have absolutely zero head-movement issues in-game, even at night with dull room lighting. Early days I did but I guess they've significantly improved the software since then.

Thanks Hetzer.  I take you to mean that, once the "room boundaries" for your G2 are established for seated play, the collimator sight will (usually) be (pretty much) correctly aligned with your eye. 

 

And (most importantly) when you lean your torso left or right, the virtual fuselage doesn't move away from you.  The fuselage stands still and you are able to move around inside it to see areas not visible from the pilot's normal seated position.

 

Is that correct?  It works that way for you? 

 

Just want to be absolutely clear on those points before I make the decision to order.

Correct mate. 

You can adjust head position with certain keys (Insert, Home etc?), then fix with (I believe) F10. That will then always be your starting head position in VR. If you use Necksafer you can then adjust it more in the cockpit with its reset button. Personally I don't like the default position in WW2 German fighters, it puts one's ass somewhat over the right side of the seat. I lean forward and slightly right, hit reset and done (then repeat a few hundred times because OCD).

[Todt_Von_Oben]

Okay Hetzer, thanks; that sounds like the confirmation I was looking for.

 

LAST QUESTION: Are you using a Base Station (Steam or otherwise) with your G2?

Sure that is pure propaganda or marketing, but hey, two 6K that's excellent if all the rest is as they claim it. I am ready to close an eye to those shabby mathematics.

The problem is that Pixmax with their present top of the line product still do not deliver the visual and optical quality that a VR set should have to make the VR experience perfect. So I am afraid that the Pixmax Reality will exist, but will not be what we could dream of.

Now let's look at the positive side, if Pixmax can reach this kind of specs the other manufacturers may not be so far with new generation sets but probably with a much better visual/optical/sound quality. So all in all in the short/medium term, say two years, if the world has not gone up in smoke by then I am positive that we should have finally a VR set where we get the same visual quality as with our best monitors. That is for me the reference that will push me (and probably many others)  to go into VR. I want to have the same level of quality I have on my 4K (full 4K) 43" LG full LED monitor on each of my eye.

[Todt_Von_Oben]

Not to divert talk from the PIMAX, but I thought you'd all like seeing this.

 

The Corsair computer we (with your help) bought and modified has really nice black glass sidewalls and multi-color fans and lights inside; the interior is a constant low-level light show.  Really looks great.

 

In the Youtube video on assembling this Corsair-type computer (earlier in this thread) the builder put a little plastic figurine (some sort of fantasy creature) inside the case; in the open space alongside the GPU.  I didn't have a suitable figurine so I added a scale model of one of my motorcycles: a Harley Heritage Softail.  I think it looked great but it just didn't fit the theme this computer is dedicated to:  WW1 dogfighting.  So it only lasted about 24 hours.

 

But today I stumbled across this model of a Clerget 9B rotary engine I'd bought a few years ago and set aside.  I'll assemble it for display as a case ornament. 

 

It's perfect for my WW1 gaming computer!  I'll tell inquirers the engine powers the computer.  (Nowadays, people will believe anything.)  ?

 

But seriously: the detail is excellent and the instructions (For once, written by someone to whom English is their first language.  LOL!) are very informative; not only on how to assemble the kit, but also what those parts are and do in the real C9B.  I learned a bit just by reading the instructions.

 

The majority of the kit is made from cast metal; pewter would be my guess.  There's some brass tubing; and thread to simulate wires.  The propeller and engine stand are laser-cut wood; snip off the tiny "tabs" with an X-acto knife an they pop out cleanly. 

 

I just re-discovered this scale model in storage today; haven't started building it yet.  But I thought I'd share info about it here because you might just want one of your own for display or whatever.  Pretty cool kit!  

 

Enjoy!  ?

ADDIT: (Hope they merge my posts.)  I was looking for a 1:16 model of Werner Voss to display alongside the engine.  No joy.

 

I saw several of MVR in 1:16 and was going to buy when I remembered I already have this model of Ernst Udet.  He'll be standing alongside the engine inside my computer.

 

Prosit!

Wow!  That's NICE! 

 

They have really improved the seven-cell since the days of the Strato Cloud.  That was hot stuff in my day; but I mostly flew Haley's 5-cell Strato Star.  Still have it and would like to jump it again someday.

 

But while my longline Strat riser turns like nothing else; it's a notorious ground-seeking missile with a brief and unforgiving flair opportunity.  Gliding, yes; but still pretty vertical by modern standards. 

 

What you guys are getting out of your seven-cells now is way beyond what was happening back in the 1970's and 80's.  Those low-level horizontal "map of the earth" landings you guys do have gotta be a rush.

UPDATE:  I decided to return the PIMEX; still flying the CV1 but ready to buy another headset.

 

The G2 seems to have everything I want at a good price. 

 

The Valve Index has a little wider field of view and more adjustable IPD and eye distance to lens, but I'm basically okay there with what's available in the CV1 and G2.

 

However, I'm flying FC in Steam VR and the Valve Index works seamlessly with that.  The G2 works through another Windows program that does offer more customization but I'm afraid to add another Windows layer between me and the game.  Getting booted up and started has been a bee-itch in the past.  

 

Right now, all I need do is activate my CH controls, start Steam VR, open FC from my Steam Library, and I'm in.  I'd like to maintain that simplicity and I'm wondering how much more the additional Windows program might complicate the process with a G2.

 

Overall, I'm wanting the G2 and hoping (once I get the Windows settings established) I'd be able to get into the sim as easily as I can now.

 

Whatayathink?  Will I?

 

I was gonna buy a G2 right now but thought I'd ask and wait to see what experienced users have to say. 

 

JUAN MO TING: Anyone know where the best price on a new G2 headset is online right now?  My understanding is that I don't need the base stations or controllers to set it up or play FVCR.  Is that correct or should I spring for the full kit?

The G2 can sometimes be a bit finicky, no idea why other than all that software.

I press the headset's physical power-on button (on the box that's on the cable, I have mine velcroed to the side of the PC box). Once the HP logo on the face-plate has lit up I click the WMR icon in my taskbar. If my view in the headset isn't free-moving I go through the re-boundary routine (click the three horizontal lines top-left corner of the WMR window, say "yes" to seated boundary, then click "center", takes seconds). Then fire-up IL2.

Very occasionally the headset won't turn on, in which case hold the power-button down, listen for the disconnect windows 'ping' (noise), then press it again to power on.

Other than that it's settings, which seem to be quite individual per user. I have found the FSR mod to be nothing short of 'miraculous'.

The G2 will be a nice upgrade from the CV1.

Agreed.  We watched one more comparison video before making the choice between the two.  The Index has some comparative plusses and minuses; we chose the G2 because it was less expensive, good enough, and (for our purposes) more "bang per buck."  They both look great, though.  It was a hard decision but I think we'll be happy with it.  Prosit!  ?

 

On a less jubilant note: I also bought the corrective lenses with blue light coating: $165 plus $25 shipping!  OUCH!  If it enables me to see in the headset better, I'm okay with it.  But wow!  Last time I bought corrective lenses for the CV1 it was a hundred bucks less than that AND had free shipping.  ?

Yeah I will be feeling your pain as well as I am about to order corrective lenses for my Aero. Already laid out some serious bucks for two pair of glasses. Ugh. But they are so worth it and I have a feeling the corrective lenses from VR Opticians will be excellent with my Aero as well. My goodness with my glasses I see everything so much clearer.

 

And to get back on topic - especially for VR yeah there is no such thing as too much GPU. Love the performance I am getting now with my EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra, and can't wait for the 40xx series cards. My wallet says it can though LOL.

I hope this catches you in time.  I don't know about VR Opticians but DO NOT BUY FROM VR WAVE!!!  I should have read the reviews first.  Many complaints about quality, delivery, and customer service.  They couldn't get my prescription right (about as simple as it gets) after many attempts at explaining.  I was talking to a computer in China.  Couldn't get anywhere.  Cancelled the order and requested a refund four times.  They keep writing back saying the order is being processed and will be shipped.  I notified my CC company and got reimbursed while they look into it.  Yesterday VRW wrote back again, saying the item is being processed and will be shipped AND THIS TIME they included a laughing icon.  People playing games; laughing at my demands for payment.  The objective of this scam is to keep my money in their account as long as possible; they make money off cash flow and interest.  There's been a lot of shady online business out of China these days and VR Wave is into that.  Plus their prices are too high. 

 

I got the right lenses plus shipping from WIDMOvr and it was seventy bucks less.   Great comm and customer service; my lenses are being made to my prescription and will ship soon. 

 

A lesson learned.  Don't make the same mistake I made.

 

I received my HP G2 today; am presently unboxing it and will try setting it up tonight.  I have to say it is lighter, more comfortable, and fits my face better than the CV1 or PIMAX did.  Can't wait to try it.

I went with VR Optician, service was very quick and quality seems superb. Perfect snap in fit for my Aero. Received them today and I am quite happy with the result. These were also made to my prescription.

Been trying to get my new HPG2 working.  Followed the instructions.  Got it all plugged in and hooked up; got the Mixed Reality Portal working.  Got Mixed Reality for Steam installed.  But when I load FC out of my Steam library, while it still shows that "double image" on the monitor like it always does when I'm in VR; but in the headset I'm in that MRP pink and purple page where you point at the gem and go to a patio where you can learn about the hand controllers.  It seems everything's working correctly, but Fc isn't making it to the headset; MRP is in the way.

 

Anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it?  

 

The G2 graphics look great and the audio is excellent!  Now if I can only get it to play Steam FC as easily as my CV1 did....

You have WMR installed, you mentioned steam, but do you have steamVR installed?  A WMR headset won't run IL-2 without steamVR.  It's a separate download in the steam store.  You don't need to ever fire up steam itself, only need WMR and steamVR running to fly FC.  It's confusing because the app needed is also named steam, but its a separate program from the base steam.

Yes, I have WMR and Steam VR; FC plays okay. 

 

But I can't find the GENERAL STEAM VR SETTINGS page (where I can adjust the RPE percentage closer to the native resolution) or the VIDEO page (where we can fine tune the MOTION PROJECTION SETTINGS per individual game.)

 

I've gone to every Settings page I see but they're not the one shown in tutorial videos and I'm stumped.

 

I've learned how to adjust both of those features but can't find that GENERAL STEAM VR SETTINGS PAGE to access them.  Am I  missing something or looking in the wrong place?   ?

You’ll see it when SteamVR/WMR for steamVRs is running. Usually it just stays at the middle bottom of the screen as a small rectangular box. Right click and select settings

[[CPT]Crunch]

Step one, the easiest way is manually adding IL-2 to steam as a registered steamVR game on your account, it's not a natively supported steam game.  That allows you to tinker with settings without having the game up and running, any time you want.  Kind of hard to do it only when the game is running.

 

See the '+ Add a Game' button lower left, when its added it appears under '-STEAMVR( )' list as active. 

After your done and shut down steam the next time you start steamVR you'll be able to access IL-2's settings without firing the game up.

Open steamVR, access settings,
