I need to get some prescription lenses made as the focusing distance is a lot nearer than the G2. I’m told it’s 1 metre? I didn’t need glasses with the G2 at all. Shouldn’t be an issue for young people but for old farts like me, who wear reading glasses, it is. There is still some distortion when looking around which causes me some motion sickness, never had that with the G2 either, once i test it with Clip on prescription lenses I will have a better idea. Pimax have said they will send me some replacement lenses if I think the lenses are at fault. Could just be war thunder as I’ve not used it for anything else yet. It’s a bit cumbersome in comparison and you’re always aware you’re wearing it. Cant fault the image clarity though and the large sweet spot. As with any VR headset it takes a lot of tweaking to get it where you want it.
@@Avetorro thanks for your detailed review as usual. I'm considering to move on to a Quest 3 (with Wifi 6 and Virtual Desktop) as recommended by some of my squadmates, but I'm still on the fence about actually getting one
@@Avetorro Thanks for sharing your first impressions! So, as a good forty-something who's already been visited by presbyopia, I guess I'd also have to use glasses for that VR... 😅 How does it work for spotting planes at a distance? Better than the G2? Well, my friend, I hope your experience improves once you try those Pimax with adjustable prescription lenses and manage to fine-tune those VR as best as possible! I'll be looking forward to your final verdict! o7
@@flawleesvictoryapolok9589 Pimax are sending some replacement lenses to see if it fixes the distortion. But yeah, compared to the G2 the view is very clear and spotting or ID’ing planes a lot easier. The sweet spot is a lot bigger and looking out the corner of your eye is a lot clearer too. With the G2 anything to the side is quite fuzzy as it’s such a small spot. I have War thunder running quite well now at 72fps and it’s great, so smooth and clean. And I guess if you need glasses to read from 1 metre away you might need glasses for it.
Yes it’s usb and DP connections like the G2, BUT… I don’t need to use the repeater like I did with the G2, maybe it’s the shorter cable? It runs on Pimax’s own app and Pimax XR to get past Steam VR
Wanna try simulator but i cant seem to get off thd ground without losing control in the takeoff and landing tutorial that im being forced to do again. Is there a different contol that i need to set up and adjust while operating an aircraft in sim mode?
Baby, wake up! Avetorro just uploaded another sick spitfire gameplay!
Thanks guys, apologies as I seem to have forgotten to delete the last 3 minutes of this session, the boring old return flight to base 😖
This is a fucking crazy setup (in the best way possible)
Nice flying! Congratz on the upgrade.
Hey! Congratulations on the upgrade! I’ll be eagerly waiting for your verdict!!!

@@reggiekoestoer1511 I’ve heard good things about it but I guess till you actually get it on your head it’s hard to say

well that looks mighty smooth! Does it use Display Port with WMR like the G2 or what?

Yes, you have to use the rudder to counter torque from the propeller. Plane wants to turn left, so steer right with rudder.
