I tried q2 and q3 together when q3 came out and there was almost nothing between them performance wise for fps when running as high res as possible. if someone's got the little extra cash, I'd absolutely go the q3. I think q3 is outstanding if you consider what you get for $799 au

Hi AB9 owners, During replays, does the stick follow the original flight movements? If anyone shares a cockpit, does the stick react to the other crews stick movement? Thank you 🙂 edit - sorry, I've just realised I've posted here and not the hardware forum as intended.

i've had problems running 4 sticks at their xmp settings, where any combination of 2 ran fine on the same PC at the XMP settings. With 4 might just need to detune the wait states a little, or run the PC at a slower clock, like HiFlyer mentioned, if just to test

$799 aud for a q3 512GB is pretty sweet value too considering everything it can do

setup - you pay for the main app that runs on the headset. You also need to download and install a small PC app which is free. The PC app needs to be active to connect the headset. Setup and configuration is fairly straightforward. I'm usually using a 5800x3d with 4090 with Q3. I get best looking results in MSFS2024 with smoothest gameplay using; Compression Type - Try default. I don't see a significant difference between them. Resolution - Godlike Frequency - 72hz Bit rate - 100 Synchronous Spacewarp - Always On (VD's version of reprojection) I'm using a wfif 6E which is consistently connected at 2400mb/s and I see very few wifi related issues. I believe VD has improved a bit in the recent releases as it used to cause pauses and glitches for me. However, link still looks that little bit better and slightly less controller lag on my setup. Synchronous Spacewarp seems to behave differently at different distances from your eyes, (unlike Quest's link ASW which appears to treat everything the same / near/ far) which is probably how they are getting such good performance in VD. Therefore, unlike quest's reprojection where it will maintain a smooth horizon as well as smooth near subjects, you'll probably see a jittery horizon with VD while close scenery will be smooth. When I look at how beautifully DCS performs at such high resolutions, 90hz using Link, I hope they manage to get 2024 running as smooth and clear eventually. DCS is like a dream come true.

Hi, yes it works with everything I've tried. I find quest link looks a little better in general, however, at the moment 2024 runs better for me using VD than link. I hope someone gets link sorted soon.

i think the videos show what good value 2020 is at it's current price, particularly if you buy it from the right place.

hmm, I'm typing this on a older PC (but win 11) with a usb wifi dongle getting only about 80mb/s connection to router and I can run msfs2020 steam no worries.

I've been playing Contractors VR all evening. There were quite a few young kids from Germany and Belgium playing who said they got quest headsets for Christmas. I wonder if this year will set a record for VR sales?

a somewhat bizarre product reveal wasn't it? 🤪 i had to check the date to make sure it wasn't april

I'm doubtful too. DCS went through a stage like this but managed to fix it.

there's a bunch of stuff that is different in one eye that I come across during flight - trees, airport lights, reflections and shadows.

@aviophobia If you've tested only in the last few days, I think VR performance got worse with the recent MSFS update, especially flying around airports. Unlike my other games, msfs runs best with virtual desktop at the moment (though still a bit stuttery even with minimal gfx). This is same for Q2 and Q3 for me In addition, I recently changed form 50mb/s to 256mb/s internet, but made minimal improvement except photogrammetry improved very slightly. Probably not worth an internet upgrade for most folk. I assume asobo still have server issues.

yes, it's worse for me too since recent update

maybe try re ordering the open xr api layers? There are a couple of free tools for re ordering and enable/disabling them.
