I dont think anyone has put hands on the 1400x1400 one, no one has complained about the IPD of the 2560x1440 one either, it fits me perfectly, but if your IPD is outside of average, you may want to get the 1400x1400

I went in on that $100 combo with the steam card, since I'll probably want to buy a game or two to go with the headset. I may have questions in the next week or so!

Are the adjustable lenses important for VR? Adjustable lenses are important if your IPD isn't average. If you're at the narrow end or the wide end, a fixed IPD will always be slightly blurry.

I grabbed a set of calipers, due to the shape of the goggles couldn;'t get it exact but the lenses are 45mm and the closest point between the lenses is 20mm which is... 50mm IPD? I don't know if the focal point is in the center of the lens or not though. 50mm seems awfully low, may need to measure again. My IPD is 59mm based on my zenni optical ruler and I'm pretty average size @ 5'11" edit: yeah outside of lens casing is 45mm (45.45mm but it's sloped and a weird angle so lets say 45mm) and casing to casing is ~20mm Hadlock fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jul 25, 2018 |

I just did My Shot from Hamilton in Soundboxing and it's my favourite map I've made in a while. Beat Saber converts, just give it a try. I really still insist that a good, motion-copied map beats a map with placed beats a lot of the time in VR, just because fun movements make fun maps. https://www.soundboxing.co/challenge/f0942455-9054-11e8-ae61-0a580a200406 edit: and if anyone is just curious, you can see the map being played, and robots echoing the movements I made while making it, at the link. use the mouse to move the view around if it's blocked.

Ah bummer so HOTDS doesn't have "native" HOTAS support and you have to bind absolutely everything before you can even try it out and I just got this dumb thing and don't know how to go about it so I'll have to wait till the weekend to sink some time and make an attempt at setting it up. Feels nice and I'm sure I'll have some fun with it once it's set up. Game doesn't pick up on Yaw or the throttle either since it's less sim and more arcade.

Hadlock posted:even has usb rechargeable battery (lol @ 2007-era mini usb connector, though) They're way more reliable and less prone to breaking than micro USB. All my older micro USB stuff is going to poo poo and I'm not rough on them at all when it comes to charging. I got that Walmart Monoculus Rift deal, real surprised how good it turned out. Hopefully the no positional tracking isn't too barfy in simulation stuff. Needed something for the YawVR whenever it arrives since a WMR headset wouldn't work for it.

Are the adjustable lenses important for VR? When I bought this early today, and still as of right now, the 2560x1440 with $50 steam card is $99 total, while the lower res 1440x1400 is $130. Did I miss something? Is the 1440x1400 actually per eye while the other two aren't? The fact that it's the only lens adjust model makes me think they actually used two 1440x1400 screens, since that's the only way that res makes logical sense.

Yeah I spent about an hour mapping my HOTAS in that game and never got it feeling right. That was months ago and I haven't touched it since, I should try again with an xbone controller.

I helped the HOTDS developer troubleshoot HOTAS support when they released the game, and yeah, my conclusion was "this game wasn't designed for these things and it's probably best not to bother trying." It controls very well with an Xbox pad and that's the only way I play it now.

Ok I've plugged the Monoculus Rift into my laptop and it's showing up as a 1440x2560 portrait mode display and I can see the Windows wallpaper when i put it on, but steam vr is saying error 108 headset not detected. Any thoughts? I've installed latest version of steam vr, i have Nvidia set to always use my 1050ti for output, I've rebooted multiple times now. Plugged, unplugged the hmd. Tried running in mirror mode (default) it suggests not doing that. Tried enabling direct mode, tried disabling direct mode ha;lp

There is an update it finds that fixes that. get the holo tool from the direkt Tek website or the cd that came with it if you don’t have it installed

You can get it to run natively (not through ReVive, which needs the Oculus software to be running, it's a separate thing. You still need to download/install it through the Oculus software) with some finagling, but since it was financed by Oculus it will never come to Steam https://github.com/LibreVR/RoboRevive

I have a WMR headset that should have positional tracking, but Project Cars doesn't have it enabled. It wasn't super barfy, but was super annoying. While you can turn your head to look around, the car is 'attached' to your head, so rather than lean forward/back to see around the wheel/a-pillar/what have you, the car instead just moves with you, and you can't see anything new.

Assetto Corsa is my jam with the Monoculus. Car racing games are the ones I mind the least that I can’t move around in. In a real race car you’d be strapped in with a 5 point harness and you wouldn’t be leaning anywhere. It would be nice in Ultrawings to lean a bit but as it stands just looking all over the place works well

Its a little more, but especially for something like skyrim you'll have movement tracking, as well as controllers for your hands so you can swing a sword, throw a spell, or shoot an arrow. You can play it sitting down with a gamepad but, I dunno it loses something. For 75 bucks or whatever i think those walmart sets are fine for cockpit stuff, but, I just have a nagging itch to say if you're wanting to do stuff like skyrim, spend a little bit more.

$150 is tempting, but I'll probably just use it for porn anyway after trying it out for a day or two. $60 is a nice price to try out vr. I haven't been that impressed with any of the vr offerings I've watched people play thus far. My nephew can just go back to regular skyrim if it's terrible.
