Bob_Bushman Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 awesome, lots of us getting the rift S. I recently went back to CV1 until the Rift S gets here on the 22. Odyssey + just runs like crap. Oculus software just works better with DCS and thats all i care about.:thumbup: PS whats everybody going to do for Headset sound with this thing? Here the little speakers suck on it Heck could even be possible to reach 80 native after the terrain optimisation.

Here the little speakers suck on itI guess I'm lucky I've never had an issue with the odyssey. I don't think I could go back to the resolution of the rift. But I will give the software side to the rift, definitely much more user friendly.

Gruman Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I had a lot of concern for this VR Headset. Especially the lack of good audio... But I gave in and preordered it. My favorite retailer in Switzerland did list it on the shop for preorder. Including 30 Day Return or for RMA'ing (Which I needed on my last Rift CV1...).

sze5003 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I've felt the same way about HP. Several friends would ask me to look at their laptops and they always had issues, overheating, or parts just going bad. They used to be decent but after some time this wasn't the case. We have some business laptops from work that are HP and at least those seem fine for now.

We have some business laptops from work that are HP and at least those seem fine for now. Well, they did have a more "enterprise" level set of kit from what I remember that was on a different level, but that's not what I was used to dealing with, it was mostly the middle of the line or less, budget office laptops and "as cheap as we could get it" desktops. So yea, Epson and HP, a couple of brand logo's that often just gives me a pre-emptive psychosomatic migraine.. Once place was nice, they where on the premium service plan on Dell instead. Sure it was during that whole thing where the mobo capacitors would blow like the zits on a teenagers face, but all we did there was take the box in, hand them a new one. Then tell Dell how many units we had for pickup and needed replacement on a weekly basis...

Kayos Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Well, I have never had something from HP that I didn't want to drop kick down a flight of stairs and set on fire with a molotov. From an Enterprise point of view their Blades, Blade Enclosures and SAN's are awesome. Better by a mile than IBM sh*t anyway. Had nothing but problems with IBM. IBM's Enterprise Support is 2nd to none though. HP's is right up there too though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onslawt Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm interested to see how this pans out for use with motion rigs. I currently use the NLR v3 motion platform and it works very well with one single Oculus sensor placed directly in front of me. I'm hoping the Rift S works with no dramas but I have a feeling I will have issues with the pilot head bopping in and out of the canopy, I'll test these theory soon enough.

Mr_sukebe Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just pre ordered one for the 21st. I don’t have a vive, meaning that the Index and Reverb would be a lot more expensive. I’m also thinking that I can try at home, and if I’m not impressed by the improvement vs the Rift, then I can simply return it.

Fri13 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 That Reddit review above from a week experience and comparison to the Vive Pro is a good sign. ( ) No need to stress hardware by increasing resolution a lot if we can get big clarity increase by going to LCD panel. So if the hardware resources are anyways limited, why not take big improvement without extra stress? Ain't that like win-win? I'm waiting to read more comments from future owners in DCS, but more and more out looks that Rift S will be the best choice to use VR in DCS.

Have never even used a motion rig. But I would sucpect all these inside out tracking HMD's will havd big problems They will need some sort of motion cancellation, similar to what I believe exist for lighthouse systems where you mount a controller up. Problem with that is the controller would always need to be in view. i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2900Mhz, 1080ti, CV1 Virpil MT-50\Delta, MFG Crosswind, Warthog Throttle, Virptil Mongoost-50 throttle.
