FThe screen isnt the best yeah, but the clarity is quite decent for the price
JAnother big factor is the version of Varjo base software you are running. A lot of visual issues that were present at HMD release have been resolved in newer versions of the software. So ideally after setting up the headset and doing a firmware update, most if not all issues should be resolved
JThe main one you'll see people complain about is chromatic aberration
JAnd there's lots of github based tweaks that can help eliminate this
FDepends on if the fov will actually be similar to 8kx, as they advertised 130h for pimax but its actually around 100
J^ So basically most issues you might encounter with Varjo Aero have fixes, which you can find in the Varjo discord
JAnyway back on topic of headset x vs y,
I personally own a Valve Index, Quest 2, and pre ordered a Quest 3 for work. Having used an Aero, I'm content to stick with my Index for the time being. Perhaps Quest 3 will work well on PC and be better than Index in some ways (hello full color/depth mixed reality for flight sim cockpit), but either way with the devices at my disposal all my needs are met for the foreseeable future.
If I had $3500+ lying around and a GPU better than a 3080, I'd love to get highest end Somnium VR1, which is basically the Varjo XR-3 but cheaper. Has eye tracking, hand tracking, full color depth mixed reality passthrough, etc.

FI dont know the resolution of the vr1, but 3080 might be more capable than you think. Im running pico 4 at 3120x3120 in dcs vr cause of compression (more pixels=better image) and i get ~60fps in the air, 40 on the ground with a 3090
Jdual 2880 x 2880 screens
FAnd I recently found out my 12600k is bottlenecking it, gpubusy was 13~15ms, actual frametime ~18 if that says anything to you
JA World Beyond Reality
FThis is dual 3120x3120 btw
JThey've not announced pricing yet, but its expected to be pretty expensive for highest end (possibly Apple Vision Pro pricing)
FThat is quite the price then
JAnyway, I don't have money lying around anyway, which is why Somnium is hypothetical purchase for me 
FFair enough
JI won't be getting a new headset until after I upgrade my PC, which will probably turn into building a new PC. I'm on a 5950x right now but its broken and I have to run it on manual clocks which loses me a lot of performance I would otherwise get from having PBO etc. enabled. Works well enough for the basic stuff I do, and not much point in replacing the CPU, nor upgrading to latest since new stuff will be out soon enough. Not upgrading GPU until new Nvidia stuff is out which is probably 2 years out.
So by time new GPUs are out there will be at least 1 new generation of CPUs out I could upgrade to and build a whole new rig.

BAnd those would need 50% supersampling on top. DFR and dlss will finally help, but to a somewhat unknown degree.
Fis this some kind of "if you have to ask for the price you can't afford it" deals?
J? Just look at their twitter feed. Isn't even up for pre order yet. Just reservations. Isn't close enough to release yet.
Fsure but you should at least know the range of the costs before you reserve a spot imo
JLiterally no money down. No obligation to anything.
Jthey're first and foremost a VR social platform
JAlso, the headset itself is open source 3d printed. You can buy just the important bits from them, such as pcb, lenses etc. pre built, and print the rest yourself
JThe reservations are for fully finished kits.
BI am runnning my apparently obsolete Reverb G2 on an RTX2060 Super, if you can believe it. Most of the time it's fine in MSFS with medium settings, and DCS is no problem (but then I don't do multiplayer much so that probably makes a difference).
LIs there any channel or wiki here that contain recomended settings per dcs aircraft module ?
Fknowledge-base?
PAm I correct in my interpretation of the official Rhino diagram pdf that the dimensions of a mounting plate that would fit perfectly under the unit would be 180mm x 180.32mm?
OTIL my headset is "obsolete"

DOnce you get the FOV mod I'd say it's still pretty much one of the best. The clarity on the Reverb is just superb. I've seen some comparisons to some Pico headsets that have a higher resolution but the clarity is quite a bit worse so you don't gain anything and you'd lose some FPS

GHello I’m wondering if anybody is selling their design using the diy motor kit
PHey m8 I can't say for sure but I haven't seen anyone asking money for the diy design plans/files, though I think ppl were working on offering diy kits to go with the motor kits from vpforce. Check out #
showcase & #
diy-builds for the ppl that have made their own & ask if they have plans/files.

FWhat is that extention made of? Is it a custom or a readily available part?
F@walmis I read that the VKB adapter has 6 set screws to connect it to a DIY extension solution, is this correct and if so, where would they be located? And also, if one were to use tubes to mount the adapter, what would be a recommended inner diameter for these? Thanks.
Rfrom ebay. its al.
FAny idea what it might be called?
