January 13, 201610 yr As long as you can run your flight sim (P3D/XPlane/DCS) at 4K resolution at 75 or more FPS, VR is for you You're kidding right? There isn't a computer fast enough to run any PMDG at 4k , 75 FPS. I daresay any complex addon in Xplane either. Anyone who says they do is flat out lying. Steve McNitt
January 14, 201610 yr You're kidding right? There isn't a computer fast enough to run any PMDG at 4k , 75 FPS. I daresay any complex addon in Xplane either. Anyone who says they do is flat out lying. I think I was wrong - 75 FPS is for the DK2, I think you need 90 FPS (90Hz) for the consumer version.
January 14, 201610 yr I did a quick search: I think the 4K part may be wrong 4k is 3840 x 2160 (8.2 million pixels) at 60 Hz that would be about 497.6 Million per second. Need heavy hitting top end hardware “…the Rift runs at 2160×1200 at 90Hz split over dual displays, consuming 233 million pixels per second.” Thats a huge difference , maybe not out of the realm of possibility at those specs (to run a sim decently) Currently I'm running at 3440x 1440 @ 60 Hz (4.9 Million Pixels) so about 297 Million pixels a second. That would actually be less of a load on my GPU then running OR Steve McNitt

January 18, 201610 yr What is the difference between DK2 and the CV1 (Consumer version). Is there any major technical difference? since I am planning to get a DK2 that is available in my city. Steve
January 22, 201610 yr Author What is the difference between DK2 and the CV1 (Consumer version). Is there any major technical difference? since I am planning to get a DK2 that is available in my city. Resolution is the main one. OLED displays. Much improved Movement sensors. The weight. The shape. A completely different experience I would suggest. Keith Sandford.
January 22, 201610 yr Resolution is the main one. OLED displays. Much improved Movement sensors. The weight. The shape. A completely different experience I would suggest. Thank you my friend, actually I got the dk2, I tried it and can easily say that the experience is totally different, however, I can confirm that the resolution is not that good, compared to zooming on a screen. Anyway, I will keep the dk2 for at least a year until the cv1 is available here meanwhile I will upgrade my pc and make it ready for the cv1. Steve
January 22, 201610 yr According to some wise men, may they be praised, who are concerned with public decorum, wearing naked Oculus on the street can be provocative and perhaps breakdown public order and decorum. I am pleased to say that dress codes in many countries therefore mandate a headress or some appropriate kind of veil to be placed over the devices to make the wearer look more normal in the streets and the market places. Indubitably, that played a part in the decision not to ship these so very exciting display apparatus to just any nation on God's Earth. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

January 22, 201610 yr Congrats! Don't forget to keep us updated on how good it is with P3D If you know somone you could have it shipped to them and then to you ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170
