I ordered the VR WAve lenses with your code. Hopefully they'll come in time for xmas along with my quest 3 wich is sitting in an Amazon box in the room next to me; i'm not allowed to look at until the big day (upgrading from my Rift S).
@@Forgetthehorrorhere1 I love that you are waiting until Christmas day that's awesome. Don't forget to try the mixed reality Alien demo on the big day. It's brilliant 😁
We use VR headsets in a small aviation museum, and are testing moving to the Quest 3. The leather (versus foam) liner is critical, so we can wipe it with an alcohol wipe between users. So, thanks for the information, we'll give them a try!
@@Subfightr I just got the Quest 3 a few weeks back and am trying it out "as is." I also just ordered the AMVR "Leather facial interface for Meta Quest 3" so will be trying that out in a week or so.
You should look into reality mixer, which allows you to utilize the pass through camera on the Q3, so you can see your physical controllers yet see the virtual reality cockpit around it. Quite amazing.
Transitioning from WIFI 5 to WIFI 6 - with VD - has been truly remarkable. No longer plagued by low, highly variable, receive link speeds. Now they remain between 1100 and 1200. Plenty!
I love my Q3 but it's VERY uncomfortable out of the box. In fact it's even worse than the Q2. You can get a very comfortable headstrap with battery for around 50 EUR. Only downside of the Q3 is the glaring when doing night flights.
I'd say the glare is pretty good compared to other headsets like the Index, Reverb G2 and especially the Beyond. But for zero god rays and glare, Aspheric lenses are hard to beat. Thanks for watching.
Thanks again for this vid. I have now been able to order the new headstrap with battery online and I've been using it for a few weeks. For the first time I am enjoying MSFS 2020 in VR more than in 2D. Just ordered the AMVR interface, both leather and silk, which should make it all even more comfortable! One of the best things about VR for me..I love flying over the UK and in 2D up and above say 4500ft you start to lose the feeling of elevation on the hills below...in VR this doesn't go away and this has improved my approaches into mountain strips so much. It makes it so much more natural to plan my approach into a strip and figure out the elevation and slope of it!
I'm grateful to you for giving me the motivation to buy the Q3. Even my 2080 at medium settings is working pretty darn good I love the idea of owning the pimax but then I would need another $3500 for a computer to really take advantage of the best resolution. I really enjoy the virtual desktop and often use it in lieu of VR because of the clarity and just to change things up. Wireless is so much better than my old Reverb. I also love watching movies with it.
2:44 _"I don't know what meta were thinking."_ According to parts break down, they're selling the Quest 3 at cost so they literally couldn't do better.
Hey! Hoping you can help me. I'm totally new to VR, I'm 32 and only bought a quest 3 a few days ago, so I don't have any baseline. I can't find any concrete answers on what is the best connection method for the headset. There's the steam link in the quest 3, the paid for virtual desktop app, the wireless quest link, and then quest link with a cable. I can't find which one is the best for image quality and stability. I mainly got the quest 3 to play VTOL VR, and the graphics are ok, but I always feel like they should be a little bit better. And I do get issues where it sometimes just stops responding for a second or two and then comes alive again. Is it a case of having a cable supplying power the headset performs better? Or is there no difference at all? Is a virtual desktop running steam better than the steam link? I'm totally lost and would love some direction! I realise this is an old video but if you, or anyone in the comments section could help that would be great.
I’m in the exact same situation as what you describe here. Bought a Quest 3 for VTOL VR. And yes I always feel like it could be a bit better, and sometimes it does skip for a second. Wondering whether you found the best solution for connecting the headset to your PC? From what I’ve read, VD seems to give the best performance but I don’t understand how wireless could be better than Quest Link cable (which I’m using now)?!
Hey bud, I'm just using a straight cabled connection these days, the lag and stutter was just too bad for wireless. I also did connectivity tests using the software and noticed there was a large difference between some of my ports, so that's worth checking out for sure. I know I changed some settings but god knows what they were. I still wish it was better :\
@@dixienormus8097 Man thank you for replying! I think I've I've come to the same conclusion - that using the Oculus Link cable is the best bet atm. I get 2.3Gbps from my USB-C port (as tested in the Oculus Link app). Do you now what you get? Also are you still playing VTOL VR?
For the price of the Quest 2, I could almost understand how they skimped on comfort even though thats not a great way to sale it, but the Quest 3 at 5 or 600 pounds it should have been much better
From what I understand, the Quest 3 costs $470 to produce. I understand where they are cutting costs on head straps and why they are upselling their accessories.
The device costs Meta about 430-470 dollars to manufacture, and that doesn’t count shipping costs, marketing costs, or any other costs. Truth be told, Meta is most likely losing close to 20-50 dollars for every Meta Quest 3 they sell.
Hello Steve, thanks for the videos. Today I got my quest 3 and I'm looking forward to try it with dcs and mfs. I don't have a router in the pc room so I have to use the cable and it means that I can't use the headstraps with battery. How many hours ca I play to dcs o mfs with quest 3 and cable? 2 or 3? thanks
Are you using v1 or 2 of the AMVR face gasket? They said they were fixing some issues about a month ago so I'm wondering which version you're using. They've always made some of the best accessories for years 👌
Although I wear glasses I have never needed them for the Quest 2, for some reason it looks like I might need them for the Quest 3. Its strangely blurry in the middle of the lense and clear top and bottom, not sure if this is an issue with my Quest 3 but if the vrwave I have ordered does not sort it I will send back for a replacement.
This is exactly the same for me! I could use Quest 2 ok without glasses, but Quest 3 is a bit blurry without them and gives me eye strain. I might be wrong but it could be that the fixed focus distance has changed on Quest 3 and is further away than what Quest 2 was. Quest 2 was about 1.3 meters but I haven't found any info on what Quest 3's focus distance is. Or it could be the sharper lenses. Whatever it is it makes my eyes feel whacky if I look at it for too long without glasses.
@@VRFlightSimGuy Hi, Steve, VR Wave seems to have sorted the blurry issue. The only issue I have now is the bloody things won't stay clipped in - very frustrated Edit...The left seems ok, its the right keeps popping off especially when I take the magnetised bit off
I’m surprised you still go to the Aero for recommendation instead of going straight to the Crystal. Having owned both myself the Crystal with DMAS is not even in competition with the Aero. I disowned my Aero, literally😂
After your review of the Aubika head strap , i bought one ! It is really a good investment . It really make the quest 3 more confortable and increase the autonomy by more than 4 hres . Thank you for these good advises !
Hi, thank you for your reviews. I am new to VP, just bought the Meta Quest 3. I would love to use a flight simulator on the MQ3, cwhat do you recommend? The chair you are using with your MSFS is very cool, if there was a way to integrate a chair and dash using passthrough mode…score. Thanks in advance.
Hi Steve, You've said you're not a fan of DLSS, but have you tried Nvidia DLSS with DLAA, supposedly a better TAA using tensor cores from your 4090 for Anti-Aliasing. Curious. Asking for a friend...
I liked it the most... "I can't talk about certain things at the moment"....:) You will test Sommnium VR1 in Prague in January... :), what else are you hiding there? :), probably varjo xr4 :)
i did, it stutters like hell…i run the 4090 and 7800x3d… i need a list of all the settings to run this without stutters…now i run pixel density 18 and dlss with cable with a very good clarity…
@@VRFlightSimGuy i don‘t have a 6e router…and i fiddled around with my ax router and couldn‘t bring to work. very frustating. which one do you find the best headset with displaylink except the pimax?
Same to you, my friend. Somehow I have difficulties thinking that this was the last video from you in 2 weeks. Buy YOU only have the facit to that😊 @@VRFlightSimGuy
The AMVR facial interface has a thin version which works great and keeps the excellent fov of the Quest 3, as for the lens inserts, I have them on ALL of my VR headset because I don't want to scratch the lenses, plus blue light helps motion sickness and insomnia. It's all in the video.
@@VRFlightSimGuydo you have a recommendation for blue light protection lenses that aren’t meant to be perscription? I want to protect from scratches and further eye strain but $50 is a lot for just that.
Unless you have a monster PC you spend most of the time trying to find the supposed brilliant clarity in Q3 for PCVR. Stick with G2 and use Q3 for what its built for. Stand alone.

Hello, I have 3090 and TAA is much better than DLSS in terms of gauge and screen reading. With DLSS, the gauges are barely readable.
How do you feel this compares to the Pico 4, if the Pico 4 had exactly the same accessories running through VD wirelessly on a 40x0 GPU series ?
