Re: PCVR is a pain to setup - tried Quest 3 and Pico 4

I doubt I am getting reprojection . I just get less feeling of nausea at 90hz. I can swing my head around and the view feels smoother at 90hz.

Re: PCVR is a pain to setup - tried Quest 3 and Pico 4

Ideally you would turn off reprojection in virtual desktop and adjust you settings to maintain a stable framerate matching your refresh rate (72hz/90hz). I don't understand why I would be getting reprojection at 72 hz, if I'm getting a smooth experience at 90hz. As far as I know , the higher refres...

Re: PCVR is a pain to setup - tried Quest 3 and Pico 4

Pico and Quest 3 have quite a high native resolution . Rolling back the resolution settings to say 0.8X will also take a lot of load off the cpu/ gpu. I can't fly at 72hz- I get nauseus quickly - no issues at 90hz.

Re: Impressions of VR with Meta Quest 2

Yes as Ryanwoodie noted Radeon videocards can be quite problematic for VR . I run an NVIDEA RTX 2070 and a 7 year old i5-6600 CPU and Quest 2 Condor is flawless . You certainly want to avid Steam and Revive if you can you shouldn't need it ..Condor has Native Oculus VR integration .

Re: is there any other vr headset than oculus or vive that is compatible with condor?

Thank you for your response. I would then get a VR headset as soon as I could. in a few months probably. I will let you know if it works well. Good flights too :) I would recommend getting at least a Quest 2 which is $299 or a used one much cheaper - much better than a Windows Mixed Reality set and...

Re: Quest 3 -- "Error initializing Direct3D"

Were you able to get this working? I'm getting the same error - "Error initializing Direct3D...." - when trying to use the Quest 3. I did try the specific association of condor.exe with "high performance adapter" (Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080) to no avail. Quest link shows "green". Are you running the O...

Oculus/ Meta headsets no longer need a Facebook account

Just a heads up for anyone put off by the Facebook account link requirement for using a Meta Quest headset or older Oculus headset , that you can use headsets now without a FB account . If you want to say that Meta still `stealing 'your data well what can I say . All gaming consoles require some kin...

Re: OpenXR Now That Oculus Requires Facebook Account?

The Condor >VR work the devs did was a bonus not a right for Condor users . Just buy a second hand Quest 2 to work with Condor - the Graphics are great and you don't need a Facebook account now if you don't want to link your headset via it .

Re: Condor 2 VR wireless with Oculus Go/Quest

HI , Have you got the VR checkbox enabled in Condor settings ?
You might have to run an ethernet cable temporarily to the PC if you want good texture quality . Or just use the Link cable and don't worry about wireless VR .

Facebook will deprecate its proprietary Oculus APIs in favor of industry standard OpenXR.

Which they wouldn't do if they were that desperate to stop people accessing their hardware outside the Oculus ecosystem.

Re: HP Reverb G2 - VR Setup Guide for Condor 2

I can see the anti Facebook thing /privacy is your "thing'' . I've been using VR with Condor since it came out ( Emagin z800 headset from 2005 ) . I try not to let politics get in the way of my hobbies but I agree , when priorities differ , it is best just to respect differences.

Re: HP Reverb G2 - VR Setup Guide for Condor 2

Thanks for all the detail . Quest 2 is pretty sharp across the whole field , there is no obvious sweet spot , but I noticed early G2 users talking about small sweet spot . Face shape does have a play in that . Can experiment with face pads I guess. I think you got your history wrong about Oculus . T...

Re: GPU / CPU for VR in Condor

I use VR a lot for other things and my 6 year old i5-6600 is still fine except for Microsoft flight simulator . An I5 - 11000 you mention will be fine . Condor is pretty forgiving in VR . I'm running an Nvidea rtx 2070 and use Oculus Quest 2 wireless at a solid 80fps and 1.2X resolulution factor so ...

I have a lot of Steam VR and oculus apps games .I really like wireless VR - 95% I do wireless , but for Condor I would lik...

Re: Run Condor2 with VR Oc.quest and link cable

Oculus Air Link wireless now works so well and simple with Condor I put my Link cable away - won't ever use it again .
