Compatible VR headsets ?

I see the RC8 specification mentions Rift and Vive Headsets, does it work with WMR headsets (and maybe Pimax)?

I have a Samsung Odyssey + headset that I use with other model sims.

Thanks

I took a risk and purchased RC8,

After starting steamVR it seems to work with my Samsung O+, Application Resolution adjustment is set to 140% at the moment. I am getting a solid 90FPS on the '4D' AMA Muncie site, GPU utilisation is 63% and CPU around 40%, The graphics engine is clearly better than RFX (which will not run 90 FPS in many of the 3D fields in VR mode), I will make some further comparisons with NeXt, RF8 and AccuRC.

The Lenovo Windows Mixed Reality Explorer is also working nicely.

Does anyone know, if one can use the overlay-instruments, such as vario, with VR?

Any Pimax 5K+ users? I am considering buying it but since it is not on Steam I got no option to return it if it wont work with my 5K+.

Yes the headset will work, even without the base tracking sensors but I highly recommend you have them.

Here is an earlier discussion thread about the Pimax 5k plus - is this the next step for VR flightsim?

You will find on page 2 my opinions and others about the headset with Aerofly FS2. Some like it, some not so much.

Thank you. I got base stations. I just was not sure if the game engine works with the wide FOV.

Sadly that information was wrong. It might work for FS2 but not for RC8.

200 € wasted.

No worries. Maybe they get it fixed. It should be a minor thing, I just hope they are willing to look into it. This is the very first VR game that does not work with this headset. The main problem is that it is not on steam. That being sait neXt sim works perfectly fine with it in VR without being on steam (but with SteamVR).

Pimax brought out a new beta software today that fixed it.

Now the good stuff: This is definatly the best RC Sim VR experience I had so far.

Aerofly RC8 + Pimax 5K+ is a real winner.
