I do want to mention that the in cockpit sharpness like the letters on G1000 buttons don’t look much sharper in the Crystal (which I hoped it would)

Typesof microscope

Nothing - i sent the G2 back and fitted triple monitors instead, its not the same but very good still. I would love to go VR again but would need to know 100% what the instruments looked like before i buy.

Introductionof microscope

Having owned the Aero for 9 months now I can say unequivocally that it is extremely sharp particularly if you have a video card that can push 39ppd. I expect the Crystal will be just as good or better. For reference, when sitting in the captain’s seat of the Cessna Citation Longitude, I can read the text labels for the circuit breakers on the far right side of the cockpit next to the first officer’s seat.

I just looked at their website and I can’t say I find the following very reassuring when it comes to an overall eye for quality image900×302 34.6 KB

Great question. I don’t own a headset with either so I can only speak from what others have said. I’m still using fresnel lenses with my trusty G2.

Just learned the Crystal will start shipping this month, also understand if one signs up today, expect delivery by March. WOW. We’ll see how it goes. At present I am using G2 with new home built computer, works great. Good luck VR fans!!!

I tried the Pico4 recently, I was amazed at what a low budget VR could achieve - the quality was there but the GPU cost was way too high as you have to push it way up in oversampling to get the display clear but then FPS tanks to about 2fps and the VR itself is clearly not happy, I sent it back.

From the default head position, there is not a single bit of text on any glass panel that is difficult to read - that includes the panels on the first officer’s side.

Thats a pity, i would push the button on the Crystal if it was clear - I got rid of my G2 because the instruments were very hard to read.

I will hold off my VR search now as clearly the 3080ti is totally unsuitable for running at high quality and reasonable FPS. But its still very reassuring that the quality is actually out there.

As for performance, I have to say having moved to the 4090 from a 3090 (non Ti), the 4090 is the first graphics card that is able to extract maximum detail from the Aero while sustaining 40ish FPS with high quality settings.

I just read a Crystal “first impression” from January where the author said it had a nice clear image but that there was a really irritating motion blur whenever head movement occurs. Anyone know whether this had been fixed? Would be an absolute deal breaker.

It’s possible that the G1000 model is using too low resolution textures and fonts for VR. I will admit that I make sure my seat position is as far forward as possible (usually where the eyepoint positioner in some aircraft (airliners) is calibrated). Some aircraft instrument panels are quite clear and others are not.

Both offer a better experience over fresnel lenses with minimal god rays and much better sweetspot. Pancake lenses don’t suffer distortions you can get on the side of aspheric lenses, so pancake can give you edge to edge clarity. Pancake also take up less space and are lighter but on the downside they are less efficient at retaining light so tend not to be as bright and I’ve yet to see a pancake lens which can offer a decent FoV like the Index or greater.

Purpose of microscopepdf

This chapter provides information on how microscopes work and discusses some of the microscope issues to be considered in using a video camera on the microscope. There are two types of microscopes in use today for research in cell biology-the older finite tube-length (typically 160mm mechanical tube length) microscopes and the infinity optics microscopes that are now produced. The objective lens forms a magnified, real image of the specimen at a specific distance from the objective known as the intermediate image plane. All objectives are designed to be used with the specimen at a defined distance from the front lens element of the objective (the working distance) so that the image formed is located at a specific location in the microscope. Infinity optics microscopes differ from the finite tube-length microscopes in that the objectives are designed to project the image of the specimen to infinity and do not, on their own, form a real image of the specimen. Three types of objectives are in common use today-plan achromats, plan apochromats, and plan fluorite lenses. The concept of mounting video cameras on the microscope is also presented in the chapter.

Other bits of resolvable detail include the tiny triangles next to the cabin altitude and ISA temperature and being able to easily read the PRESS DIR and PUSH STD labels on the panel above the main MFD.

Is the red text issue caused by the fact they have inverted one of the panels in the Aero - this gives a known issue with red-shift in VR?

The .gov means it’s official. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you’re on a federal government site.

Reviewers have had them for up to a couple of weeks. Seems to be a nda/embargo before they can release their reviews. I’m expecting those to come out very soon with a launch date early March.

The only caveat is that pink text is less sharp than other colors. I assume because the lenses bend red light more than green or blue.

For me it’s still a mixed bag, but both offer a great experience, so I wouldn’t use either of these as a deciding factor when purchasing a new headset, so long as it’s not fresnel , that’s probably good enough for me, but if you had to push me for a decision I would favour the pancake lenses.

You could certainly get by with the 3080Ti, but you would need to sacrifice MSFS graphics quality settings to achieve enjoyable framerates.

I am very interested as well, but given their reputation I will not touch it until there are at least three reviews up from reputable reviewers.
