HP Reverb G2

[Lipfert]

Kameraden,

The cable on this unit is much longer and heavier that my Oculus unit. I picked up a ceiling suspension system as it was driving me mad catching on my seat. Hope this fixes the issue as it's pretty annoying.

I picked up the Kiwi Design Silent VR cable management system, it means mounting it above myself but right now it's a big problem catching on my chair.

Back to reading more to fine tune in DCS.

The G1 (I guess?) has a similar issue. I have a handful sitting on my lap in order to keep the weight off the ground.  Ceiling mount is not really an option for me, as I’m nearly underneath a fan.

Yeah the HP cables are allot heavier than Oculus ones. My solution was to do a loop with the cable behind the headband secured with zip ties. This provides some slack to the cable preventing it from wearing out the socket (a significant problem with the G1), provide a counterbalance for the weight of the headset making it balance on my head but it also makes the cable fall down my back so its out of the way & I dont notice it.

Kameraden,

Here is my solution for the G2 cable getting caught on the back of my chair.

Counter Weight 200g from Studioform Creative VR https://www.studioformcreative.com/reverb-g2

Kiwi Design Silent Cable Management Pulley system https://www.kiwidesign.shop/products/v2-kiwi-design-management-retractable-vr-accessories

I've also cleaned up the cables that were on the floor with cable track on the baseboards.

Yep, fancy man.

Kameraden,

Do you prefer to have the cursor follow you head movement or turn it off and use a mouse? If so, where do you turn it off?

S!

[Britchot]

I use the mouse. For DCS I believe it’s in the Settings>VR, something like head as cursor or mouse as cursor?

[Lipfert]

Kameraden,

I made very good progress using speed-of-heat's 3090 G2 tuning post. In fact it's almost perfect, bit more reading today.

Right out of University, lost my first good job, got an awful one, lost that one, now going to flight school. MASSIVE explosion in the amount of contract sim racing and race coaching work now slowly dying off again as things slowly open.

Only been about 1.5 years, two in March or April, I believe? 

What a wild time. I'm glad everybody in the squadron is still here and able to be safe and healthy for the most part.

Snaggle - do you think that fix would work well for my Quest-II? I think if so it may be worth a try . . .

I think it depends on the Application - "VR" only games are typically run via the Facebook & Oculus store apps but games that HAVE Vr Features (AMS2 for example) I can often run in Steam VR mode - hopefully this fix helps with those games, thanks Gordon!
