July 15, 20196 yr Hi guys Amazon prime has this on sale today Oculus Go Standalone Virtual Reality Headset - 32GB by Oculus I've been wanting to try VR with xplane for a while and wondered if anyone has experience with this ?? Thanks,
July 16, 20196 yr You can´t flightsimming with an Oculus Go or Quest (at least not on xplane-P3D). You need a headset connected to a PC for that (Oculus Rift S, old Rift, Vive, HP reverb, Pimax, odyssey etc...) In my opinion (and this is very personal) the Rift S offers the best quality-price ratio right now.

July 16, 20196 yr While you can possibly Frankenstein your way into connecting such a headset to a flightsim (and there are guides) it's REALLY not worth the headache and effort in my opinion. If you were absolutely determined to go the wireless route, however, I believe the Oculus quest would be the much better option. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

July 16, 20196 yr Using VR in this way is not ideal 1) The Oculus Go headset only moves with your head moving left, right, up and down. Lean forward does not work (the Oculus quest does do the lot) 2) There is no official application to stream the picture to your device (you would be side loading the app). 3) You cannot stream by wire to the headset, so to get a decent picture you would need to be streaming wirelessly at 5ghz, ideally with the headset in the same room as the wireless router. You would also need a PC running the game ideally connected to the router by Lan 4) You would still need a high spec PC to render the sim in VR Having said that, i have done it and the stream quality is surprisingly good. However Latancy is low. Therefore if you are ploding along in an light aircraft it would probably work ok but it would be too slow for high speed crafts.
July 16, 20196 yr Author Thanks everyone !! I watched the sale for the duration and Amazon sold very few of them (relatively speaking) so I passed. Good information from all. I'm holding out much longer now, especially in light of the upcoming MS FS release. Once I see what that involves and how much more PC horsepower is needed, then we'll go back and revisit the VR thing. Thanks again for your input. Jim
