The first time you try VR, you feel weird because all of your flat monitor references are not valid anymore, and you need to learn to drive again. But once you get used to it, it is amazing, and everything you learn will work in real life. You have to try VR in an online race with a full grid, that's when you will enjoy it more, when you are battling side by side and you see it like real life, that's the most WOW I had with VR SimRacing.

I use the original Pimax Crystal headset. For me, even triples aren't satisfying anymore. I'm significantly faster and more consistent in VR. For clarity, I'm lucky enough to have zero issues with extended use, weather its motion sickness or headaches. I do have twin fans mounted on my rig on either side of my wheelbase because it does definitely get hot. I would recommend the 15mm face pad and the comfort topstrap. both increase the comfort and keep it in the sweetspot. I'd also suggest AMS2, nothing is better in VR. LMU, although still in work progress, got a new VR update and looks pretty good too. VR is definitely more work, but when you get it dialed in, there is no substitute.

I would like to ask if when you move your head, do experience some movement lag? Like when you quickly look left, does the headset physically lag behind your movement due to inertia?
@graemacinnis1202
Күн бұрын
@@edwardt8194 The response is instantaneous, I've never experienced any lag either with the Crystal or PSVR2. Having that issue would more than likely be the result of either really bad settings, or hardware not up to the task of VR. It definitely requires more robust hardware to get the most out of it. I can imagine view lag would be absolutely unplayable. For a frame of reference, I'm running a 7950X3D with 64 GB of 5600 ram and a 4090, so i can run any VR right now at ultra settings at 90 fps without any throttling, but I realize that's not an option for everyone. The crystal, either regular or light, is resource intensive because of the clarity, so plan accordingly. I will say, I have a PSVR2 for my PS5, so I got the adapter for pc just to see how it worked, and I will say I was impressed, I used it for a week instead of the crystal, and never felt I was being cheated. Is the crystal better? Of course, but when you figure the price to performance and the lower spec needed to run it, it's a very good option, it's also a less intrusive wearing experience. For me, it's not a big deal, I have the comfort strap, 15mm face pad, and I run the HonsVR lenses for my Rx so I don't have to wear my glasses. I do 8 hour stints no problem, but I realize that's not common for most people, so maybe a smaller, lighter headset suits some people better. This got away from me a little, but to sum it up, if you have appropriate gear, you won't get any lag from head movement to what you see, it's just like real life.
@edwardt8194

@@graemacinnis1202 I get that but I'm talking about the physical lag in real life, not on the screen. Think like a fishing rod. If I wiggle it the tip goes back and forth lagging behind your actual movement. Given the size of the crystal, my concern is in that the quick movement from side to side would create a similar lag that your eyes need to adjust to. The reason I ask is because I have a motion rig with a G2 and although the movement lag in the headset is not much, it is still noticeable. I am in the market and am thinking of Bigscreen Vr because it seems improbable that it could be affected by this.

I only race in VR, the depth perception and being able to look in to the apex is so much better than a single screen, even just on a quest 3. I haven't got room for triples. Once you get used to VR its hard going back to flat screens. The main downside is insurance racing, VR for over 1 HR races gets trying. ACC is terribly optimised for VR so is F1 and WRC.

Honestly, V.R. is always a love/hate battle. It's quite common to think you've finally worked it out, and then something will change without your permission (last time it was Valve/Steam changing the scale resolution, the time before that it was the cable on my router needed to be changed for some reason). V.R. is great but it's still fairly early days. I've had the Oculus Rift, Oculus Go, Oculus Rift S, Valve Index, Quest II and Quest III. I ended up selling my Quest III and going back to Quest II; I just couldn't get comfortable with the Quest III. Quest II with Virtual Desktop and a WiFi-6 router, is amazing. I turn on Spacewarp (which asks the P.C. to generate X amount of frames per second and the headset makes up the missing ones, so it's less work for the P.C.) Snapdragon Upscaling (makes it higher resolution by things that the chip can do), clock boost, and sharpening algorithm, and it looks fantastic. I'm not a sim driver, I was into Half Life Alyx, and flying my helicopter (I made some helicopter controls). I think what a lot of people don't get about V.R. (and I didn't know it either) is that it's in 3D. It gives people depth perception. So if you want to feel like you're enclosed in the car, V.R. will be amazing for you. Comfort wise, it depends on the headset really and the strap. The strap there on the Pimax, looks pretty good but maybe you would be more comfortable with a weight on the back for a counterbalance. I find it best to loosen everything on the straps, then get the best visual placement, and start tightening things up one by one. You did very well to troubleshoot the clarity issues, a lot of people would just give up and say it looks bad. As you have V.R. you have to try Half Life Alyx - at the very least, set Russell's Lab as your home in Steam Home. Assetto Corsa EVO in V.R. is going to be great.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Pimax Crystal Light is my first VR and first PC ever (I’m over 45). Been waiting for good VR for over 5 years. Was struggling to get a perfectly sharp image clarity in both eyes simultaneously (either one was good or other). So when I close left eye, the R eye image is clear. When I close R eye, the left eye image is not perfectly clear. If I adjust headset a millimiter or two the left becomes clear but Right goes off. Was getting nauseous too, I know it's part of getting over motion sickness but image did not help either. STUDIOFOAM sorted the issue, kit works a treat. Now both eye images are perfect sharp and results in next to real life image in Crystal Light VR. I took Pimax Crystal Light original face pad off. Did use Studiofoam one spacer and stick soft Grey Fabric pad on top. Now aftermarket face pad doesn't get warm what makes VR experience lot nicer. I only simrace. In Assetto corsa BMW 235i Racing steering wheel has tiny digital red numbers what now looks absolutely clear. I mean same clarity as I would see on my steering wheel in sim rig real life. Alfa Romeo Guilietta and Mito has small ABS info writing on bottom of wheel base, now it’s perfect. Mazda MX5 cup Steering wheel LCD display is sharp and clear. Now I can confidently say I will keep Crystal Light and sell of PSVR2 what I bought second hand to test while waiting for Pimax. The only issue with Pimax Crystal Light is the sweet spot is very very TINY. I mean if I move Headset a millimiter or two off the ideal position the image is not perfect. I still wonder if it is supposed to be so or my lenses are from the funny batch. At the moment I can say I am happy with Crystal Light and do recommend it highly.

when i first tried VR it was on AC and FPS was probably way too low i was dizzy and sick immediately, but i knew it was the best way to race ff to a later date, and I decided to try it on iRacing using oculus runtime. It would hold 72 FPS, and I did not feel sick at all. I was hooked. I have not gone back to monitor since !

Yes the resolution is very important! I got sick when I first tried the headset because my settings were wrong. Once I fixed everything the motion sickness went away, experience became incredible!

@@SarahNocchi in VR, it is true that you are moved a little further back in the car. I was unsure what to think about it at first, but I noticed that, at least with the FF 1600, it helped me perceive the slip angle of the car a little better. The FF 1600 is awesome in VR, and also the MX5.

It's strange I keep seeing these VR companies giving their headsets to sim racers that solely play on flatscreens! I 100% guarantee we will never see her in the headset again racing. These sim racers that, especially iRacing simmers wont change their ways, as they dont like change as it can mess with their timings and they can't stream and talk to chat with them and lastly watching someones screen that racers in VR is janky (unless they user smoother head movements and do it all the time) There are channels out there that actually dedicate their racing on VR, these channels done seem to get the new headsets sent to them and they are in the MUCH better position to test and review for racing instead of long time flatscreen users! ACC is the worst VR game as it uses Unreal Engine, iRacing isn't much better. AMS2 and AC are well optimised for VR. I hope that headset wasn't given freely as when companies do that the rest of us have to pay as they hawk up the price for "advertising" it, albeit in a poor way. This is no reflection on Sarah, I have enjoyed her videos. This is frustrating that VR companies don't know who their audience is.

If you watch the video you’ll hear that I only have the headset for a few months then sending it back. I also say in the video that I would not see myself use this for long sessions or to make videos. I’d love to have one for fun when I am just trying to enjoy myself and not competing. I believe Pimax is reaching out to a new audience with this headset and that may be why they reached out to « non VR » channels.. I also did say that ACC is horrible for VR. Anyways, I understand the comment but it seems like watching the video first could help answer some of your questions/concerns…

@@hdvrNG and I did say I understand your comment! Just felt like there was a bit of jumping to conclusions in your description, by saying things such as « I hope it wasn’t sent for free » or « we sure won’t see her wearing it again »… when I addressed these things in the video. And I was just trying to explain why I think they are sending the headset to people using mostly flat screens. Even though I am sure they are also reaching out to other content creators too. Apologies, I didn’t mean to sound defensive! I appreciate all feedback

I watched the video and must tell you that the discomfort you felt was user error. This halo style headstrap requires all the weight be adjusted correctly with the top band first before fully clamping down the halo knob.

Might be, but I am not the only one that complained about comfort. There are other paddings that would probably help a lot. I had to adjust for my vision to be clear, then tight it up to stay in place properly.

@@SarahNocchi the top strap acts as a balance point for the load of the headset. I noticed when you had it on the top strap was loose and not properly adjusted.

VR is even better with motion systems. It solves any nausea for those who struggle. If you stick with VR, you'll want to get rid of that seat. But then we don't get to see your face. Streamers don't stick with VR. It's part of the vanity of KZitemrs and streamers.

The most comfortable way to use a VR headset is to remove the headstrap and - using velcro - attach the headset to an open faced motorbike helmet, you superglue the velcro to the helmet but not to the headset. I've been using a full VR helmet for over two years and I'd never go back to a head strap.

PC VR still has a long way to go but developers are not doing enough to help improve issues or performance. GT7 with VR while not the best, it works so easily and is so simple to switch between using on TV/Monitor or VR. It will also likely (after patch) look a bit sharper than normal with new PS5 PRO. - See @4:58 for....... Exacly like what you would experience with the Tobii Eye/Headtracking on that awesome monitor. Still you have not tried, ahhhhhhhhh. No 3D and yes VR brings certain benefits but the option to better use the monitor to have a much more comfortable and for longer gaming sessions is possible. What you dont eexpress enough is that your own PC specs are not capable to get the most out of this VR or that monitor. Content is good but you really need to upgrade the PC to properly cover such reviews.

Well... it's very good that you try VR, although starting with the best there is, is a bit complicated, and I will try to explain myself, to get the best out of that viewer, you need a PC that does not yet exist, and you also need a lot of personal configuration, and then, a comfort adaptation, and I simply mean driving without stress or discomfort, and it is not that complex or expensive either, it starts with a 140mm fan, above your head, you will only have to mount behind the seat, a stem, and mount the fan above, just with that, the experience is much more acceptable, and let no one forget, our face is not perfect, and the viewer does not know it, correcting the focus position is possible and easy, and the greater the definition of the lens, the greater the focus accuracy must be, and Pimax incorporates it into its software, and I can say that it achieves it... It will be easier for you to give an opinion with the necessary conditioning, and I think it will be much more positive, and Yes, VR It's not ideal for sharing... Thanks and regards.
