  • After three months of use, the Pico 4 is now my go-to VR headset, but it is not perfect. In this video I show what I consider to be 3 essential upgrades to make this headset excellent.

    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 :)

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

      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! 😊

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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
      @SimHangerFS  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

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

    • @SimHangerFS
      @SimHangerFS  ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

    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?

    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:
    th-cam.com/users/shortsdtxmYRwDaQ0
    I need to clarify: is this faulty item or "normal function" of device i bought.
    Thank You for Your help.
    Best wishes.

      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.
