Please please please, keep on the channel, keep us informed and perfectly updated in all Sim areas. Long live Simhanger!!!

Oh that BoboVR battery pack is a must, even makes the headset more comfy.

[@chriscrossler]

I always wanted to get a VR Headset but it was always kind of expensive and i wasn't sure which one would fit to me for only Flight Simming. But now i decided to go ahead and try the Pico! Thank you for the Video :)

[@xGrimWolfx]

I switched from meta to pico. And yea even though there are differences I enjoy Pico 4 way more.

[@bastiaanwilliams5311]

I made a battery extension from an unused mini powerbank. Works great too.

[@Valkron11]

I did the same. Bought a cool battery pack that has 3 magnetic batteries that was supposed to attach to the headset. I hated it on the headset but I got a usb C extension and can use it on my belt when power goes low. Much better! 😊

[@KayoMichiels]

There are some earmuffs you could add to the headset; they would channel the sound directly to your ear, it would block out other sound from around you and helps you to stay more immersed in the sim.

[@BigDaddyBear81]

Mine is coming tomorrow am starting my VR gaming honeymoon can't wait. I hope I've picked the right one done loads of reviews and I just kept edging more for the Pico 4 fingers crossed I won't be disappointed. Great video by the way I will probably get these extras for mine.

[@eKoush]

I'd be interested in using a cable that charges the headset so that it never runs out of power. I am not sure which cable does that, though. Some seem to only charge it slowly, so that it still runs out, be it after a longer time. While I get the benefit of no cables and a viable solution with the 2 batteries you can switch out to achieve the same effect, I'd still would like to find the best/ most viable cabled solution.

[@BLACKSYNTH]

Had my pick for 4 days, love it! Got the Amvr face cover and currently using usb to Ethernet, anyway I’d lie to know how you record your in game footage, it looks great! In the headset built in record 1920x1080 or in OBS?

[@carlmarchand4718]

I`m still hesitated to get a VR, because is no way to see your real multiple devices bottons setup, but I saw on a video that there is a video camera on VR (Pico 4); can you talk about it, it utilities !?. Tanks in advence, and I appreceate your works.

[@SimHangerFS]

The headset has a ‘’colour see through’’ mode which is enabled by double tapping the side of the headset. It is very low resolution. Great to find your controllers etc. but not for reading maps or gauges.

[@florentb8578]

great job !!

[@danzmachinz2269]

Have you tried the virtual desktop supersampling + hevc update? How much would those reduce gpu requirements?

[@franzbri]

Hi Mark, are you using the settings (incl OpenXR Toolkit) from your initial video or have made any changes?

[@SimHangerFS]

Using Steam resolution at 100% (was higher but no benefit) plus sharpening in toolkit @ 70%. Everything else the same.

[@carlmarchand4718]

I wear lens only for reading, do I need to add thoses lens to see correctly on VR ?

[@SimHangerFS]

No, you should be okay without them.

[@patricksky850]

Hi Mark,I've the Pico4 and I 'd like order just the blue light filter only i don't need any prescription. can you please recommend me the good reference to order? Thanks for your help. Please accept my deepest gratitude🙏

[@SimHangerFS]

You can order direct from VR Wave, link in the notes below the video and just select the option you want. www.vr-wave.store/ When you order select the ‘’Plano’’ option and blue light filer.

I'm trying to connect my Xbox controller to my Pico but it's not showing up in "other device" ?? Hellllpppp!! 🙏

[@SimHangerFS]

I’m not sure I understand your issue. The controller connects to your pc or xbox, not your Pico headset.

[@L4WNY..]

@SimHangerFS I saw a video where ya can play Xbox games on ya headset ?! And it also showed him connecting the controller via the Bluetooth settings but mine isn't working ...

[@jungleboy1]

i am about to pull the trigger on a PICO 4 paired with a 4090. I saw many many comments that the reverb G2 was better because of the compression. I assume with a 4090 if i run it on max (godlike settings) it would be okay?

[@SimHangerFS]

That was my experience, providing you have a reasonable broadband connection. 150mbps +

[@jungleboy1]

@@SimHangerFS Thank you. Assuming it is the same as having fast connection if i keep it connected via usb to my PC.

[@danandrebrunstad]

Any thoughts on the upcoming apple set?

[@SimHangerFS]

Should have an announcement this month….will be very interesting 🧐

[@Valkron11]

I imagine it will be expensive

[@SimHangerFS]

@@Valkron11 I agree…brace…brace 🤣

[@jimmy8x541]

@@Valkron11 many sources have estimated $3000. it is going to be a much more refined and high end experience than anything we have seen before in consumer VR. i'm very excited to see it with my own eyes but there is no way I could justify spending that much cash

[@Valkron11]

@@jimmy8x541 $3,000?¿? That puts it in the Hololens price range, and the main purchaser of that was military. Apple sure has balls 🙄

[@bartomiejgos6493]

Good morning. Thank You for Your work. I have a little different question to You as Pico 4 experience user. Have You noticed such issue like "wavy distortion" just like in this example: kzbin.infodtxmYRwDaQ0 I need to clarify: is this faulty item or "normal function" of device i bought. Thank You for Your help. Best wishes.

[@SimHangerFS]

Check your IPD setting is correct for your eyes. If your using DLSS and/or motion reprojection then you could get this. Also make sure to run in 90hz mode.
