  1. 80k per second max on gb fibre, it is making me feel nostalgic doesn't every company of repute just host everything with a 3rd party who have almost infinite bandwidth? i.e. AWS, Azure
  2. are they hosting the download behind a 56k modem? download speed is appalling
  3. By "THE thing" I assumed you mean "one of the worst things humanity has done with technology" 😁 If I've ever stumbled upon an infernal ReACtIoN video, I inevitably quickly find the need to watch the original, rather than someone constantly pausing and gurning over it, stretching out the time for optimal revenue <old man yells as cloud> anyway, Fenix - When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin'When'sItComin' gimme it now Aamir!!!
  4. Quest 3 is great for MSFS 😆 I have a G2 and the clarity of the Q3 is superior you can get cables to charge while playing, and headstraps with addon batteries
  5. I've been playing with this today with some spare time, I've got it to a point where there isn't too much difference between link cable and VD, but there is a difference in picture quality and smoothness with VD being the noticeably superior solution - I have a wifi6 AP being delivered tomorrow which will sit right next to the PC and headset it's very stable as well, I've been switching between cabled and VD, restarting MSFS multiple times, enabling and disabling VR during the sim session multiple times - I think with a decent spec Quest VR is stable in general, I had lots of fiddly issues and crashes with my G2
  6. I didn't remove the Oculus software, I just set the OpenXDR runtime to VDXR in the Virtual Desktop Streamer that runs on your PC
  7. I spent my longest session in VR ever yesterday thanks to the combo of Virtual Desktop and the VD XR runtime, settings all around medium I think, and a solid 30-40fps, with very very clear visuals in the headset - Quest 3 in this config, IMO, far out performs the G2 - and it's wireless, which really cannot be overstated - the thick cable coming out the back of my head is very frustrating with the G2. I have a wifi5 5ghz connection to my router, I'm thinking of getting a wifi6 AP to connect to the switch my PC is connected to just because this performs so well, why not really, but I think the bottleneck is the PC performance spec is quest 3, ryzen 9 5950x, 64gb, 12gb 3080ti
  8. this is definitely a sweet spot, I've been trying to get my Quest 3 working with a link cable and it's just not working well at all - shimmering, blurry, stutters switched to the beta of VD with this streaming app and VDXR and it works really well I have a 5G Wifi 5 router on the ground floor and I'm on the first, and it seems to work fine - I guess I could get better performance if I buy a Wifi 6 AP which I will consider
  9. I just bought one of these at the weekend, I already have a Reverb G2. I like the Golf+ and Cricket games, really incredible showcasing of VR technology - so it's multi-purpose for me as I want it for more than just seated PC VR in flightsim. That said, I picked up a 5m link cable with charging capability yesterday and quickly tried out Automobilista 2, it was incredible - my hunch is it's clearer than the G2 which I have been using for racing and flightsims. VR is still not for the faint hearted - I would say with the Quest 3 you need to be patient if you want to use it for PC VR/Flightsims because that's not it's primary use case - it's main goal is to be a standalone headset for unique gaming and experiences away from your PC, but I think what people have found is that it's also a great PC VR solution if you have the patience. I'm about to go and read the looooong Quest 3 thread here to see how I can get it working with MSFS - I have a 3080ti which despite being £2k a couple of years ago appears to already be considered old and legacy, but I have high hopes
  10. what is wrong with PMDG LNAV? maybe I shouldn't ask as I'm clearly not noticing and it will probably ruin my experience of the 737!
  11. yes still a bug for me I think others are saying effectively the same thing here, but the fix for me is - select the aircraft first, then the gate if i select the gate accidentally first, i then select the plane, then select another gate, and then the one i want real pita
  12. yes, but the VR experience needs to provide easy and quick ways to interact with the real world, as well as generally a smaller form factor for the device just my opinion of course
  13. i have a Reverb G2 and 3080ti, VR has always been a great experience, but you just need to be realistic about how you will need to turn down the visuals - same as if you go triple screen 2D. But - if you are reasonably good at flying a GA aircraft, VR will instantly make you a 10 times better pilot. The realism is at times breathtaking, when you fly a VFR circuit you will be amazed at your ability to judge your height and position, confidence in flaring and cutting power etc., you can look away from instruments and out the windows and instinctively keep the aircraft banked and level, something I find tough in 2D. Learning in 2D has made us better virtual pilots than you might think! When the burden of big headsets that cut you off from the real world are gone, I think VR will explode in popularity in simming.
  14. because in a flightsim forum, it would be handy if a PMDG thread didn't keep getting bounced if there's not PMDG news
