Just sharing my settings hoping that it will help someone lost in WMR/DCS hell. For the time being, I’ve arrived at my G2 happy place. Based largely on the recommendations from this article. Note that I’m getting a better frame rate than using the VR default preset in DCS.
Only changes in SteamVR settings are to set resolution to match what the HMD driver recommeds and disabling SteamVR Home.
DCS settings. I may increase the Tree visibility to see how it impacts FPS. Otherwise, it’s a pretty good image on my G2. System specs: i7 8700 @ 4.8 / 32GB RAM / RTX2080ti.
Here is the fpsVR report from a 59 min refueling practice mission. FPS average near 60. Enabling MSAA 2x in DCS settings has gotten rid of most of the shimmering that I previously reported.

Awesome. I’ve only been dabbling a bit with settings but haven’t really been doing many comparisons. This will be a good reference point to work from!
Thanks! Just bookmarked it.
I am finding it awesome. Just had a couple of flights to tweak the settings. having shamelessly plagiarised them so far from this thread. thanks to everyone.
However. A notice comes up on the f18 saying that the window is out of focus. It looks fine but dcs is frozen. I am trying to solve this. Anyone have an answer?
On the screen, click the mouse on the DCS window. It happens when the cursor wandered out of it and focus was lost.
Just trying that. also been told that moving the windows task bar to the left or right will fix this. I will post shortly. Thanks.
Hopefully soon to be a MUDSPIKE collaboration. If someone else has a better tweak, please share it with the group.
That certainly works. but the mouse wont move to the bottom of the screen to press the fly button etc. Still working on it
Try focussing the window, then alt-enter to blow it full screen, that should sort it.
I have the same problem with oculus. Alt and enter sorts it
I drag Mt task bar to the right 
so Clarity of the cokpit is better!
overall picture quality is better!
but?
can you spot bandits easier?
recognize bandits type easier?
understand bandit aspect ratio better?
For me: YES, YES, YES! YMMV
Played with a few pits last night. F-14, F-16. It looked amazing. Outside views are greatly improved.
Flew the Instant action I-16 Ground attack(its dark and snowing). The mission looked so good. The inside of the '16 is transformed. You can really see so much detail but the best part? Gunnery was 100% easier. I got all the trucks. The open pit was glorious. I felt like the antennae was really there.
I then did IL2 GB, I went into the P-38. Just could not get over the clarity. Once again I felt more confidence in my gunnery. Blew away the 109s then stared at my aircraft and pulled up to my wingman. Incredible experience.
Now I saved the best for last. Star Wars Squadrons. I did the practice df offline last night. I started out in the debris field. I was blown away by how everything looked. It is number The One Best experience I had in VR. Flying through the debris dodging in and out of small spaces was a game itself. The clouds in blue and orange left me speechless. This is something that must be seen. In the O+ it was a game, now its an experience. This tittle will be getting lots of love from me.
Oh boy, that’s making my wallet sweat…curious, for your old O+, what PD in SteamVR did you normally use? 100%, 150%, or more, or ‘Auto’ (which for me is 150%).
Thanks. I like to hear about the new G2 from those with the same VR headset as I (O+)
I had Steam VR at 100 percent. I set the G2 @100 and DCS @100. I have not set SWS or IL2 and they look good already.
The truth is that I tried a lot with the O+ but there was only so far it would go. Im not getting rid of my O+ it will go to my racing sim.
So, since I got your attention and you are a fellow O+ owner let me give you some more tidbits.
The G2 is got a more quality feel. I find the G2 much more comfortable. The only flaw(not really a flaw) is that its got that top strap that makes a huge line down the center of my head… But wait… The O+ aftermarket strap fit right in… Yay! So that is not an issue now. The halo and mask is much better and makes a better seal it just feels good. But you are not suffocating because the unique design lets air in without letting light in. Its pretty well thought out. The back of the Halo has a premium foam. Feels good. A real flaw is that there is clip that is supposed to hold the cable on the headset. Mine will not stay on the G2. I used a zip tie as my cable must exit to the right. The clip keeps popping off.
The O+ had huge gaps that let light in on the sides of my face. So I tried turning off the lights but then it didn’t track right. So I just had to put it with it. I would say this depends on your face shape. I would call mine slim and long. Take away from that what you like.
Do you have the cable pushed fully home? The small dot needs to be flush with the headset. I suspect that the overheating some people are reporting is also related to the cable not being pushed in fully. You need a little judicious application of force.
That clip is utterly useless. I also used a cable tie (the reusable Velcro kind). It works perfectly and doesn’t cause any comfort issues.
We have a real complaint! Burn the G2! The clip is useless 
Yesterday I felt a burning pain in my back. The clip had fallen and was stabbing my back. Maybe I can get compensation from HP hahahaha 
I hope this is the biggest complaint we have about this hardware.
