| Hi,
I purchased vr920 back in november. They arrived and promply failed. I was then without them for a month and had to pay for the priviledge of sending them back. This added a 1/6 to the price.
Ok, get a new pair and try them again. Head tracking is much better, but it is still terrible.
I can hold my head still and it jumps 30 degrees left and right, sometimes it can be still, but then you are not facing the way you want to.
To look around the cockpit is a great idea, but is it really possible to look around the cockpit instruments. With the jumpiness I say NO, because I have to forget about flying the course required, and try and find a position that does not spaz out the googles. In the mean time I could of lost several hundred feet on approach with a course deviation.
It claims that you can use 1024 by 768 (Ie merges two 800 by 600 screens).
If you compare the image on worst monitor you have ever seen, with the vr920, very quicky you will realise that for a monitor to be that bad, it must broken. BUT for the vr920, that is how it is supplied. There has been no picture diffence between the initial pair that failed and the replacement pair. I would say that the difference between a monitor and the vr920 for quality had to be around a 1000% on 1024 by 768. I have not tried on 800 by 600 because that is worthless me.
Now imagine looking around a with a jittery screen on a terrible monitor and trying to fly an approach on a simulator. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POINT.
How many times have I calibrated, too many, although you should recalibrate with every re-boot. This never gets any better than how I have described.
I have not managed to get Windows XP and the nvidia steroscopic drivers working. Plus nvidia do not support XP version of these drivers anymore.
I have never managed to get the vr920 menu in MS FSX to actually show that the vr920 is actually connected.
I have managed to get the vr920 to work "Properly" in IL2 Sturmovik 1946. But really I am just cannon fodder because you looking for dots in the sky (See above). Although the 3d cockpit looks nice.
Vusix supply some demo apps, these look fantastic, if only FSX or IL2 appeared to have this level of clarity.
I usually whack my quality settings to 100% for IL2 and 90% for FSX on 1280 x 1024, smooth as silk and highly detailed.
I can hack 1024 X 768 on a monitor, I am not greedy. But not the vr920.
I would dearly love to be wrong. I have kept using them and putting them down, wait for better drivers, fireware, software and picking them up again. But it really does not make any difference.
This is the problem, but by the time you find out what you have bought, you have wasted many hours of your life and a lot of money on a pipe dream.
I am very dissatisfied and feel cheated. I wanted them to fly helicopters, and I cannot even fly light aircraft with them which are much less demanding.
If anyone can cure these problems, please reply.

| | Unfortunately, by the time they were replaced, it was passed the 30 day mark. It also requires a lot of time to get through the setup, and read articles, find patches, blah blah. I am going to look at post which dealt with a 3rd party way to adjust the sensitivity, my biggest problem. It was called GlovePie. |

| | Hi try freetrack 2.2.079 version. But this requires a webcam or a wiimote, plus one IR led on the vr920 and you can cancel yaw on vr920 and have 6 dof by a single IR led. Take care |

| With FreeTrack you'll need 3 LEDs for 6 dof.
1 LED will give you 2 dof, pitch & yaw.
1 LED is enough to give you yaw back, but might as well get all 6 dof by using 3 LEDs. |
