Bigscreen Beyond RTX 4070 TEST in IL-2 Sturmovik! IS 90FPS POSSIBLE?

[@guttergeeks]

Good on you for doing IL2, and any game in fact with, a more moderately priced PC.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thankyou 😊

[@DrNo-xo1xu]

I second this! Thank you so much for doing IL2 with a 4070! Please do a 4070 video with DCS and it will possibly sell me on big screen vr! I just want to see if my 3090ti or something like 4070 how smooth it would be.

[@stephenhulme9982]

Would like to see you review BigScreen Beyond VR headset with an RTX 4070 based system in DCS.

[@ianjeff22]

Looks fab. I would say, the whole, sweating element, and physical nature of wearing a VR headset is actually quite immersive, in a strange way. As both a WW2 pilot, and fast jet pilot, your face is encased in either googles, with no ventilation and a leather oxygen mask, or a helmet, with oxygen and a visor. What I'm getting at is actually having headset on actually makes it more realistic in terms of the physical strain you feel.

[@bakakafka4428]

Nice video test again! Thanks! BTW, what's the final verdict now you've tested high and mid end nvidia and amd? AMD or team green after all?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thankyou :) I've got a video about that coming out next week

[@Serpico360]

All things being equal, IL should be running @90fps with modern VR hardware and PC's for as old as it is. It shouldn't surprise anyone.

[@chrisshurtz5541]

DCS would like to have a word with you 🙄

[@IllIlIIllIlIl]

how would you say the sweet-spot/edge-to-edge clarity compares to the Reverb G2? Seems a lot of people (me included) are looking at the Beyond as an upgrade to sim VR from the G2, and probably the biggest grief with the G2 is the poor edge-to-edge clarity.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Much better than G2. Best to check out my full review and various videos. Thanks for watching :)

[@IllIlIIllIlIl]

@@VRFlightSimGuy glad to hear it! I think I've seen your other videos on the beyond but cant recall the e2e clarity mentioned, might've missed it 😅cheers!

[@markkovalcson7243]

@@IllIlIIllIlIl The term "eye box" is what it typically used to describe e2e clarity. The term "sweet spot" has to do with headset placement. The beyond requires accurate placement over your eyes because of how small the displays are. This is a key reason they need a custom facial interface to place the displays more perfectly in front of your eyes. The sweet spot is one area that I understand may be improved with the production optics.

[@l420ful]

How does the sweet spot compare to the index?

[@TheCrash1983]

There is a program called neck saver makes it easier to move your head around

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

I prefer to move my head around as a real combat pilot would. But thanks for the suggestion

[@JZainbear]

A little off subject. I have a request. Could you one day do a review of Varjo Lab Tools? It allows VR masking for home cockpit setups. Thanks!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thanks for the suggestion 👍

[@eagler8196]

Is it fresnel lense? Can you wear glasses under them? Vive pro with Samsung gear lens mod works well with my eyeglasses since 2018

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Bigscreen provide lens inserts for the Beyond, as there is no way you'd wear this with glasses. Since the facial interface is moulded to your face shape

[@eagler8196]

Thanks didn't have luck with inserts as my script is jacked up..pretty blind

As far as I'm concerned, quick missions in IL-2 only tell half (or probably less than half) the story in that game. If you are like me and mostly fly offline, you'll probably end up in career-mode sooner or later and that's where the problems can start. In my experience, certain maps cause massive FPS-hiccups under certain conditions (usually when there are a ton of AI pilots and/or AI-powered ground objects around). I do run a 4070 with an i7-14700KF and 32 GB of fast DDR4 and I can't get any higher than 75 to 77% resolution (downscaling via OpenXR) on my Reverb G2, even with very modest in-game details. And even that reduced res/eye-candy will be enough to give me short FPS-drops - which are very noticeable in VR. They also happen when I play on a monitor, but briefly going from 130 - 160 FPS to 90 - 110 FPS isn't really that noticeable while you're playing the game on a screen. The maps that seem the worst culprits are Kuban and Normandy - the other ones run pretty great for me, even in career mode and quick missions are usually also very smooth. And while I don't spend much time on IL-2 PvP-servers, the few instances where I did hop on one ran remarkably smoothly as well - no AI or very few AI units, I suppose?

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

I'm waiting to see what the Quest 3 is like...should be released next month.

[@technikchegger7228]

Greetings Tas, I think it's a pity that the Bigscreen is not buyable according to our consumer law! I would have liked to try this HMD!

[@DrNo-xo1xu]

Can you mention if you did testing for any other simulation games like DCS, MSFS 2020, iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally on more than just 4090 GPU but something less powerful and how it performs at that resolution? If possible would love for someone to create another video on it. Right now seems most everyone reviewing this headset I find out is using 4090 GPU. Great video love to see more!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

MSFS and DCS content using the Beyond on the channel already. Thanks for watching!

[@DrNo-xo1xu]

Ah I mean specifically for your 4070 GPU, a lot more people are going to have something less than 4090. Since you already did IL2, could you do video of 4070 with DCS, MSFS2020?@@VRFlightSimGuy

[@4secsharkmr352]

Thanks bud. Well done. Worse flown😂 Take care

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thanks mate. It wasn't my best sortie. Too much talking, not enough shooting I think 😆

[@Carlo-f1e]

Very nice video. I'm experiencing issues (flickering, aliasing) with my Quest 2, I have been told this could be due to the 4070 I bought (PC equipped also with I5 13600k and 32 GB RAM): do you have any experience on this? I've tried everything to fix: Oculus Debug Tool, Sidequest, Virtual Desktop, etc... thanks

[@GrubbHubbClips]

check audio is steamvr / occulus are set to widnows default, check your cables rate with the meta tool in devices, if you dont have usb 3 or your port is not usb 3 could be issue. same rig exactly, no issues on my end (4070, i5 13600k, 32gb w/ occulus 2) nice taste ;)

[@youtubewolfsberg4840]

How would you rate the sweetspots on the current lineup of headsets ?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Quest Pro, Aero and Crystal best, followed by Pico 4 and neo 3 link. But I'd need to make a video to explain this in detail.

[@MrCrrispy]

Have they talked about solving the glare issue?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

I'll have a final unit soon, fingers crossed it's better.

[@ChadGPTu]

How does it feel at 75hz? 90 can’t be viable in multiplayer because the resolution is so much lower.

[@thatstokedgamer]

Funny enough. I was 100% down to grab this headset until I heard the sweet spot is small. Such a bummer. I hate the small sweet spot on my G2.

[@Uploadvideoschannel]

@VRFlightSimGuy im interested in bigscreen.. but also looking for controller support... doesnt have to be from beyond.. but i wish there was a company selling oculus like controllers but for lighthouse tracking... any ideas other than index controller, vive wands or pimax sword controllers?

[@Thrawn655]

Is this a production unit?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

No, although I'm getting the retail version tomorrow.

[@Thrawn655]

@@VRFlightSimGuy please share how this compares.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

@@Thrawn655 That's the plan 👍👍

[@Eskoxo]

just think most people who buy $1000 hmd will probably have GPU that costs more at least from logical point makes more sense.

[@intothemindofaidan]

Do you need a base station if you intend to use the bigscreen beyond for JUST flightsim games? like stationary in a chair use. Or is the base station necessary for the head tracking?

[@VR_Aviator]

I didn't think the Bigscreen Beyond could run at 90hz with full resolution. Am I wrong?

[@girdsy9971]

It cant, i believe it lowers the resolution

[@bigcrackrock]

Yeah from what I've read from the people that already own them it's slightly lower but not really noticeable unless your looking at fine details like small text.

[@VenclaireVR]

The signal is 1920x1920 and is then upscaled back to 2560x2560. The headset never displays at a lower resolution.

[@DL-do5xr]

​@@VenclaireVR i never understood this properly and it is one of the factors that give me hope i dont have to upgrade my system.... when running at 90hz is it taxing the gpu as rendering at 1920x1920 or is it like running 2560x2560?? is steam vr reporting this native rsolutions or do we have to supersample to 150% to acredit for distorsion ?Rtx 3080 and i7 8700k i run the Vive pro ss 150-250 no prob.

[@Sketch5050]

Since you like IL-2 so much, you should give multiplayer a chance. Specifically on the Combat Box server.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

I do often use IL-2 online 👍

[@M.K.123x]

Stoped playing sturmovik since on my rtx 4090 couple planes in dogfight make stutter and lags.

[@Silverhks]

Something else is wrong here. A 4090 rocks IL2.

[@walvin68]

any one give me any help trying to order a pimax i go through the page filling it in get to check out ticked all the boxes it says to and pay with pay pal and it dose not go through any idear

[@ellonysman]

Uou sound like rotor sim guy

[@CrypticNord]

It's crazy. You say a lot of the same things about all the other VR headsets. LOL. Unfortunately, your regular comments of "absolutely amazing" about almost every headset really clouds your credibility man. Just saying. :) Still love the videos.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Maybe check out my latest video if you think that way. Thanks for watching!
