Varjo XR-4 in DCS "Is it the master of the skies?"

I conducted a test with the Varjo XR4, which is currently one of the best, if not the best, headsets available. I tested it within the DCS Combat Flight Simulator and encountered several issues. For instance, I found that the headset is too bulky at the back.
I would love to hear your feedback on what I have made and if there's anything else you want to see or have tested. Check out my Discord to see the BF109K4 cockpit parts I created, which you can download for free and 3D print yourself.

I was having stutters when looking 90 degrees left and right. Just out of curiosity I ramped the MAX Fps up to full right 300%. Stutters went away. I then start backing it down slowly until I had the lowest MAX FPS setting with no stutters. Give that a shot.

@Dutch-bf109k4 21 күн бұрын

For me the stutters went away when I limmeded the fps in dcs.. I'll come back to this and test again. Thanks for your feedback.

I'd also recommend a 100gram balance kit from Studioform on the back of the XR-4. Cheers!

How is everyone getting VR4s to play DCS with if it's currently only for commercial customers?

@Dutch-bf109k4 18 күн бұрын

It is only for business now. The xr4 is going to be for everyone to buy in the future. And believe me it is worthy the wait.

Nice headset..Maybe install some 'Kiwi' cable supports to your ceiling to take all the weight of the cables off the headset.

@Dutch-bf109k4 10 күн бұрын

It is not the weight. I think it is my thick neck 😅

Great video! At 75hz if you want to lock it lower, you'd be better off with 37.5, not 45. Best wishes.

@Dutch-bf109k4 21 күн бұрын

I played around and it is now locked on 75.. And that works good.. Even put the focus on 1.4 in foveated

I have just bought the XR-4, I have the same issues with tracking, the Varjo head tracking process is maxing out 8(!) CPU cores on my 13900KF CPU, and if the room is not lit by daylight I get tracking issues. I probably need to install some very strong lights to avoid any tracking issues or do other visual change to my simpit. Other than that I'm happy with the visuals and comfort, I hope they can fix most of it with software/firmware updates as the visuals are so great. Another thing I noticed I didn't get any motion sickness in the XR-4.

@Dutch-bf109k4 21 күн бұрын

You can play around with different tracking settings for tracking in the XR-4 Tweak tool (found in the Varjo folder, in the tweak tool subfolder). You can adjust the Tracking parameters and see if that affects tracking performance and performance.

@@Dutch-bf109k4 I did some more testing yesterday, I got DALL-E (OpenAI image generator) to make me some random patterns and I printed the patterns on A3 size paper and placed in my simpit, after that the tracking problem went away.

That is why iam testing the xr4 and there is a video coming on mixed reality.. But for now the cocpit is 100% scale so the buttons and switches are at the same place as you see it.. And it looks great 😁
