I just got my G2. Other than what others have mentioned (readable letters /instruments in cockpit), I feel the ground color appears darker, compared to Odyssey+ in DCS Caucasus map. The green land was quite a bit brighter in O+. Now it seems almost dark green. I guess I was used to zooming in in cockpit to read instrument (still have to with some F-16 MDF pages with G2), the extra clarity didn’t bring as much awe as expected. Though it may also has something to do with the lack of property insert lens. In XP, I see less shimmering, but still some.
My rig is i7 8700k @ 4.9G 1080ti 32G. DCS and XP11 are playable, though I haven’t tried to tweak any settings yet. Haven’t bothered with MSFS2020. O+ was already a struggle.
It’s lighter than O+. Hard to assess the comfortableness as I don’t have a pair of insert lens yet, and my fat face does not leave any space to fit in any glass frames. I stuck my O+ inserts in the “gasket” for now, but it’s very unstable. I think I am seeing a little purple fringing , more distortion, and less clear sight than what the G2 normally provides, due to the insert lens not positioned correctly. And I had to sometimes hold the headset with one hand to keep my eyelash from touching the lens.
I got my O+ inserts from WIDMOvr. Nothing to complain I guess. But just to have one more option, I was researching for VR Optician vs WIDMOvr, and came upon this adaptor. Lens have to be purchased separately here. The adaptor’s description provides all the instructions. The total costs shipped to the US would be about USD60-65 (with high index and blue light block), compared to over $140 by WIDMOvr. Definitely not saying anything bad about WIDMOvr. Just to list out another option. Debating between VR Optician and this adaptor + lens route.
