Just a short, personal opinion.
HTC Vive was good as adequate VR experience.
Overall current gen VR is oke for DCS. The immersion is like 10000000000x fun!!!
The Rift S vs Vale Index.
Honestly, I'd buy a Rift S (again, as I returned mine due to battery problems). The Rift S image quality is nearly identical to the Valve Index. Rather, I couldnt notice a difference.
- The Index however has bigger FOV, and you certainly notice it!
- Sound in the Index has more bass.
- The index has no access to Oculus store exclusive titles.
- Index is "cheap" when u upgrade.
(Dis)advantages of Rift S?
- Both Oculus Store exclusive store content AND steam games.
- Inside out tracking works flawless, even when u need to push buttons in F-18C down below your knees.
- Touch controllers included as standard.
- Price. Similar in features as Valve Index, but much more cheaper.
- Setup, what setup? Plugin, install oculus home, and fly DCS. Its that simple!
If I am getting into VR, which to buy? Rift S. Well worth the money.
Soon I may receive a HP Reverb.
