Good idea. Can you send over a crate? Those sound tasty!

Actually, we just finished a red wine barrel aged (one year) peach saison. Is this not a Flemish farmer’s ale? Without the barrel aging. Very much wish that I could teleport you one. Where’s Elon when you need him?

Oh that sounds epic.
I brewed my first Saison last October and it ended up at around 7.5-8%. You could do a couple of pints and it hit the spot nicely.
After that it was more of a sledgehammer and you were on a dangerous path.
I like the idea of the fruit additions, this probably makes it even more drinkable.

Stand in rain, look at garden, go get coat, boot clogged with mud falls off foot, grass too long, to wet to mow, 90 dog turds hiding in grass, sun comes out on wrong side of house, rain again, tomatoes die. Slugs rejoice at human suffering. Salt washed away by rain. Slugs win. Human lose. Stand in dog turd on way back to house.

also one od my teammates got a faulty g2 it stopped working after few hours…
hope you can fix it!
changing topic!
i keep reading that g2 must be kept at 100% in steam vr while others swear you need to keep it at 50-54%
who is right ??
Whoever likes what he sees. It’s easy to experiment with. I had it at 50% in steam, but then I haven’t received my new GPU yet, so having to make do with a 1070.

I am on 60% in Steam (approx 2400x2400pxl) and all good.
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.

I too have resisted getting another pair of WIDMOvr, as had the O+ ones.
Question for any 3D printer people out there - how easy is it to get a commercial place to print something like these? I’m clueless on printing things.
There were a bunch for my G1 Reverb here but I know nothing about printing, so am now lost.
Those zennioptical lens to use look really good value as well - thanks @ffly

No worries. I got the O+ insert idea from you 
Yeah, if you don’t need high index, the most basic lens pair is only $10 + 5 shipping. And I think it’d ship faster than the VR specialty stores.
This website has some really good info on G2 Prescription lenses – HP Reverb G2 Community website
There’s this relatively new vendor in the US Extra HP Reverb G2 VR Prescription Lens Inserts | Reloptix. Their way of attaching lens seems more flexible for future changes. Some Reddit discussion

Looks like a simple object to print, judging by the pics. I can print them for you if you like. But mail is incredibly slow these days, so if you’re in a hurry you’d be better off finding a local printer.

Well, this isn’t going nearly as badly as I feared: the support dude picked up the phone right away and was sufficiently impressed by my troubleshooting to order fresh box sent my way. Yay!
However, they do not have them in stock, so no telling on when the thing might arrive…

Good to hear that @schurem
I had to fiddle with my USB connection as the software / HMD was not happy initially. Once I got it to work (after some wild re-connecting and resets), I have not touched it since.
Strangely enough, around the same time you were posting your issues, my WMR software threw at me that the HMD was not able to start in 90hz mode. Disable / enable in the device manager fixed it, though.
Good to hear the support is responsive. Is it the HP support or your retailer support?
HP Netherlands support. I tried every port on the box. Somethings happening when its plugged in, as device manager flashes about once a second with it in, like somethings added then removed. Weird!

I may be able to print a few of those this weekend. I will take a look.

Thanks anyway @troll, and yep, postage is very slow recently. We got Christmas cards from the UK last week
Thanks @Fridge, appreciated. I had a google around for a local printing service, but am fairly clueless on this stuff. So one thing I could do is get a quick quote from somewhere like this as it’s going to be < $15 including postage I would have thought? I’m not sure if bigger places would do such small prints or don’t they care?
Is there a ‘go to hobbyist’ one that I missed or is it best just to to fins somewhere local for postage etc?
I’m kind of keen to try this, just because it’s sort of fun to figure all this out and throw it together. I don’t really mind if it doesn’t work
EDIT: I pulled the trigger as I’m curious about all this. Had a nice chat with the 3D printer person in that etsy link I posted above and they are being made now. In total (eye glasses, 3D printing of a pair of adapters, tax, Canada post mail (!)) it came to $35 CAD, which is like 14 cents USD - nice!

Well, usb card was no go too.
Call to HP support → they send new one. No need to return old one until new works.
Good support, bad usb

Hopefully you don’t have to wait 2 months like I did. Initially I was told what you were told… then I got the run around. Though my situation occurred at launch when there were likely not any spare G2s laying around.

@fearlessfrog PM me your mailing address, I have a few test sets to send you. Total cost of plastic and power was just over $1.13 for 3 pairs.
