I think the most important tips for the Odyssey and VR in general with DCS are:
-
Use the VR Shaders mod, until DCS updates to their own optimization for VR (which is coming). If you get a reliable 45 fps+ then it will be comfortable to play and look great. It’s a pain to have to reapply each time but worth it.
-
Experiment with the settings, as out of the box they aren’t optimal for things like DCS. Check out using some settings like WMR clarity and being miserly with your DCS settings. If you really want to go for it and fiddle a lot then having a good in-VR performance profile app is useful, and I do like using fpsVR, although it costs a bit of money.
-
The Odyssey comfort is odd and worth sticking with for a few weeks rather than sending it back on the same day you get it.
After a bit of use the headband foam does soften up, and the trick for me is to wear it so that the back is quite low on my head. Contacts or WIDMO are the way to go for sure, as not much room for eye-glasses I think, or rather, it might work by you get a nicer sweet spot if you can stuff your eyes right in there.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
