Alternating between headtracking and VR?

I most definitely switch between VR and TrackIR regularly and I find it's not a problem at all. There is no need to be either in the VR or in the TrackIR camp; that is very silly. When I switch to VR it's like: Oh, how cool, it looks so real! Then I switch to flatscreen and TrackIR and it's: Oh, look at those graphics, so much detail!

 

Why do I switch? Comfort, Performance, Competitiveness... I fly VR mostly with IL2 because it performs best compared to the other flight sims I play: DCS and FS2020. But even then I sometimes just want to see the better graphics and higher detail or it's more practical if you need to type stuff in chat. I find although spotting is fine in VR, identifying a distant plane is horrible and looking behind you can be a pain so it puts me at a disadvantage flying online dogfight missions (even though aiming is easier). It's also why VR is by far the best for Flying Circus since the distances to other planes are less.

 

Btw: Reverb G2 and 3080 ti, my CPU is 2 generations too old though...

 

That´s exactly how I feel! Why stick to one when you can have both? Unfortunatly not at the same time yet.

Tried VR - sticking with Track IR. It’s simply superior in my use-case.

Also I’m not giving up 4K.

 

I am also missing the really nice graphics the monitor gives. That´s why I wanna alternate between VR and headtracker.

I suggest a fan, even if you have a small gap where air can get in it'll de-fog your lenses and keep you cool. 

 

You'll reach a point where your brain gets used to VR and you won't feel nauseous anymore ("getting your VR legs"), the downside in my experience is that the whole thing doesn't feel as real/convincing anymore but it's still great and I enjoy it immensely. 

 

I have a fan on the way right now so I will try that the coming days.

I don´t really get as much nausea anymore, it is more a weird feeling in my eyes. Sometimes it almost feels like I experiencing the kind of stuttering and flickering (you can get in game) in real life ?

Before wearing the HMD let it warm up on your desk for about 5-10 mins depending on ambient temp and it won't fog up. Also consider putting a couple of 12 or 14 cm case fans blowing at you at half-speed, keeps you from getting hot and also gives you a reference in space which helps some people with nausea.

 

 

I must thank you again for your advices!

Letting my G2 warm up for 5 min before using it have solved all of my fogging problem, 100%.

I did not think the fan would help as much as it did, now I can play without getting soaked in sweat!
