Crystal Light back to Quest 3

Featured Replies

Before I say anything else, let me say that I completely agree that you can't get the image from a Quest 3 that you can with a Pimax headset. However, before I got into virtual flying I loved playing stand alone games with the Quest 3 I had at the time. I sold that to help get the Crystal Light. While the image is very good in the sim, it's too heavy, I sweat like a pig in it, and it sucks to try to play PCVR games with movement while a cable is hanging off the back of your neck.

So I went out and got another Quest 3. Set it up, still had the account with all the games I had purchased in the past, and installed them all again.

What a pleasure to play Meta games again with no wires. I can go almost anywhere in my house and play games with it without having to move or change anything. And the Bobo S3 Pro headstrap with the built in fan is awesome. It really works. Yes, for flightsim its a compromise, but for me, its perfect.

But ........ if any others of you are also using a Quest 3 for MSFS 2024, I would love to hear any tips, tricks, or anything that might help with setting it up optimally.

I am using Virtual Desktop currently, so if you are, let me know how you configure the settings.

Thanks.............

I prefer meta PC app cabled with q3 (combined with the debug tool and oxrtoolkit) as I seem to be able to squeeze a little more detail from it with similar fps performance to VD. I prefer the look of the meta ASW over the VD spacewarp. As a low fuss option, particularly with slower PCs, i think VD might be the way to go

Until the latest sim update, I was having a good time with msfs24 and q3. Now I have a heartbeat like brief pause every second (affecting both meta cabled and wireless VD even in the menus). The other games are running great. DCS and ACEvo look and run beautifully cabled

btw - which standalone games do you enjoy? Do you play them multiplayer? I have a great time with contractors online multiplayer.

I like bowling, mini golf, table tennis, beat saber, synth riders. I like lots of other games too but those are some of my favorites. I am not familiar with the one you mentioned. I will have to look for it.
