    • Amazing VR Experience and Much Better then the HTC Vive Cosmos
I don’t usually write such long reviews but I felt it was warranted after my experience with the HTC Vive Cosmos and the Oculus Rift S VR Headset. A few months ago I started wanting to get in to playing my flight sim programs in VR. All the videos I saw on YouTube made it look really cool and I loved the idea of a more immersive experience. I had already gotten the PS4 VR Headset last year and found it to be fun but very limited and seemed more for kids games to me. Being the smart man that I am I waiting until the country was on shutdown to decide I could not wait any longer (being home all the time made me want more home entertainment). I had wanted to try the Oculus Rift S, just from the reviews and all the hype behind it but when O started looking t was sold-out everywhere and it did not look like it would be in stock anytime soon. Being determined to get a PC based VR Headset and being limited on room I needed model that did not require external tracking, limited me to only a few models. I looked in to the HTC Vive Cosmos and even though there were some bad reviews I figured it must be pretty good with the price tag of $699 and higher resolution that the Rift S. I ordered the HTC Vive Cosmos from Best Buy and was very excited when it arrived. My HTC Vive Cosmos Experience. The box itself was impressive and I found the instructions and setup to be fairly easy and was up and running is a short time. I downloaded a few games samples from the HTC Vive Cosmos app store and tried to play a few. This is where my first issues came up. How do you use this thing? I went through all the instructions and as each game or app would load it give some instructions on what the controllers do. I found the buttons did not do what it said a lot of the time or the game would load as if I were 10 feet tall of 3 feet tall. It was frustrating but I was brand new to this and figured I just needed to learn. I was ready to try my first VR flight sim experience and started up X-Plane 11 and turned on the VR setting and just like that I was in VR in a flight sim. Ok now how do I actually get a flight going or control the aircraft? It took me probably 2 hours to figure out all the controls and get to where I could actually get in a plane and fly. Now remember this was my first time trying a flight sim in VR, but all the videos I had seem made it look amazing, smooth and clear. I could not read any text on the dash, no gages, nothing. You can see it all just not clear enough to read the test. I took off and was impressed by the graphics when looking at a distance, looking at anything close and it was blurry, also jagged edges and low frame rate. I also found the controllers to be a bit on the large side and seemed too bulky and the battery life is not good. The headset itself was not very comfortable and was heavy in my head and face but usable. and I spend the next few days researching on how to get X-Plane 11 to work best in VR. A few changes to some settings and I gave it a few more tries. I got the graphics better to where I could read large text but that was about it. I did enjoy flying in VR but it was buggy and just not a great experience. I kept this up for a few weeks ad finally just gave up, it was too frustrating and too many glitches. I also did not have much luck on any other games or apps using the HTC Vive Cosmos, but DCS Wolds was better looking than X-Pane 11. I returned the headset and decided to wait until I could get the Oculus Rift S, although I was not sure if it would be any better. My Oculus Rift S Experience. It took me a couple of weeks to get an Oculus Rift S on preorder with Amazon, I finally got one (on pre-order) on June 3rd and it arrived on June 16th. I was very excited once it arrived and could not wait to see what it could do and if it would be any better of an experience. Once again the box was impressive but when you open it, it seem like less clutter in the box. Now for setup, it could not be any easier. You download the Oculus software and it basically walks you through step by step on how to set up your Rift S. I had already downloaded the Oculus software so my full insulation from opening the box to playing my first Oculus Rift S tutorial in VR took just over 5 minutes. It was amazingly simple. Ok so now I have it on and the first demo tutorials starts and I was blown away but how great the immersion was. It looked and felt so very much better than the HTC Vive Cosmos. I went through the tutorials and knew just how to use my controllers from the simple tutorials and I was ready to go. I download a few free apps and gave a few a try. I was so impressed by the VR immersion and overall experience. The headset itself is light and more comfortable than the HTC Vive Cosmos and it was easier to focus and overall it seemed brighter and clearer to me. The controllers are much more comfortable, light and fit my hands better, and so far the battery life is much better as well. I was now ready to give my flight sim’s a go. I booted up X-Pane 11 again and started the VR. Now this is where my experience really changed, for the better. Just the interface was smoother and I was easily able to select my options and start a flight all in VR. With the HTC Vive Cosmos I always had trouble using the controllers and trying to select something or flip a switch in the cockpit when flying. I had the hardest time aiming and selecting. With the Oculus Rift S it was so easy, just point and click and it just works. Now my flight starts and the first thing it was terrible, I had my graphics set to the highest possible settings (just to give it a try), I adjusted a could things and restarted my flight. Now I was in my plane, sitting on the tarmac and it was so very different from the HTC Vive Cosmos, the graphics were so much clearer and crisp. It just looked better and felt more realistic. I took off and flew around and was just amazed at how much better it was. I paid $699 for the HTC Vive Cosmos and really did not care much for it and felt like I wasted my money (I did get a full refund), I paid $399 for the Oculus Rift S and feel like I got a great deal. I have only spent a few hours on my Oculus Rift S but I am already very impressed with it and am quite happy with my purchase. I would rate the HTC Vive Cosmos a 5 out of 10 and I would rate the Oculus Rift S a 8 out of 10 ... show more

    • First thoughs of VR
Would like to point I've never experienced VR before, but this VR set is AMAZING when it works. The IPD seems fine on default... Changed it via software and show no changes in vision soz. Gameplay so far is amazing. Only games i tried is beat saber and skyrim so far. Give this a 5 star for graphic, ease of use, setup. Rated 4 due do the issues i ran into so far, and absolutely hate that dumb advertisement window that pops up every time i put headset on for oculus software. Should be option to disable just that tbh unless there is and haven't found it. I've read all the issues and troubleshoot steps of head of time before purchase, and to say the least i was expecting issues. and yes this thing was a bit of a pain to setup. First of all its states my USB3.0 is not compatibility... yet it still plays and opens everything. Only real issue i had was it kept disconnecting, likely due to the USB 3.0. With all the troubleshooting i read online on reddit etc, i somehow got it to stop disconnecting for now. We'll see, even though it still states my USB3.0 not compatibility. Another issue i ran into on Day 3 of use is that the oculus software (Version 12.1) keeps telling to setup my guardian when it was already setup muliple times a day. I believe it still has something to due with the incompatibility of the 3.0 ports using "VIA USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller -1.0 (Microsoft)" Since my mobo (MSI GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0) is a small form factor, i have no more PCI-E slots or anything for a PCIE Expansion card, only slot i had was PCI, which heard PCI USB 3.0 doesnt work in most cases and some cases it does. So took my chances with "StarTech.com 4 Port PCI SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Adapter Card with SATA/SP4 Power - Quad Port PCI USB 3 Controller Card (PCIUSB3S4)" Read this PCI slot worked for some. My PC Specs; Win10 Version 1909 Pro edition GPU: GTX1060 OC CPU: FX8370 eight core clocked at 4.2 Mhz 24GB RAM clock at 1600 Will update once i get the card today to see if the incompatibility 3.0 ports can be resolved... UPDATE: "StarTech.com 4 Port PCI SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Adapter Card" Did not work saddly, spoke with start tech support and advised they have no PCI Cards that would support the amount of data that oculus occurs since only 1 channel card. Advised only the PCI-E would work. Saddly do not have a PCI-e slot available. So have to upgrade mobo or deal with the issue. (Personally can't upgrade as it requires upgrading to DDR4 Ram and AMD4 cpu slot as my mobo is older side with DDR3 and AMD3 slot., so will deal with the issue till upgrade in near future saddly) As for the issue, even those ports states incompatibility, it rarely disconnects, maby once a day if cables loose. As for the oculus software forcing to setup gaurdian all the time. This is still happening and apparently its oculus software that the issue and is known. So overall loving the experience except for the 2 main issues. UPDATE: 6/20/2020 Recently upgraded my PC motherboard to MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus board with Ryan 7 3700x, DDR4 RAM and NVMe SSD. Ran for 2-3 months, and have not one single issue with it disconnecting. Everything seems to run smoothly and runs on max quality. (Still have my GTX 1060 Gaming X OC graphic card.) ... show more
