Rift, Vive, and Virtual Reality

I can image. I get a motion sickness from certain aspects of Project Cars. Its mostly okay but sudden movements that should incur obvious G's do make me feel sick. I expect Rally racing to feature a lot more of that. I'm happy just to have a good 2d rally game though as its a gap in my genre library at the moment. I like to have at least one quality game of every genre just so that the options there if I or a friend ever want it. I kinda like to think of my PC as a games arcade where every experience is available even if you never play them.
limiting to works in VR
For a military flight sim i would recommend dcs world its free on steam (the base game) well worth having (but it gets expensive fast if you buy additional planes) and its very complex
second I would recommend IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad £5.99

The Reverb G2 has often been having large discounts on Amazon. Right now it's going for 500€.
Is there anything that is significantly better than the G2 at the moment, or in the foreseeable future?

Not at the reduced prices. I think only the Vive 2 is at the same level of clarity.

There has been a lot of complaining about the cable. I haven't had any problems but I also haven't been using it much because of the dearth of new software this summer. The hot weather also reduces my interest in attaching these things to my face.
There is a lot of complaining about the cables used with most VR HMDs. These cables suffer through a lot more flexing and twisting than the typical PC cable so I think it's not surprising that troubles happen.

Modified OpenVR DLL with AMD FidelityFX SuperResolution Upscaler
https://github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr
Download page (but read the above page)
https://github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr/releases/tag/fsr_v1.1
This modified openvr_api.dll allows you to apply FidelityFX SuperResolution upscaling to many SteamVR games, as long as they use D3D11.
Known issues
Half Life: Alyx and Star Wars: Squadrons do not work, because they don't like you replacing their openvr_dll.api.

Wow, I wish I had my way with an HP Reverb G2. I'm currently operating on an Oculus Quest 2, and I'd like even more clarity but I don't think it will be a huge difference when moving to an HP Reverb 2. Has anyone switched from a Quest 2 to the Reverb G2 and has any advice to give?
Worth it / Not worth it?

You ought to check out an older OLED VR set instead for a different sort of better visuals. I'd rather use the Odyssey Plus than either Reverb with some games.
Or maybe you could get a Reverb G1 and save yourself some money for essentially identical visuals compared to G2. The downside being somewhat worse tracking, but upsides of a handy headphone jack, removable stock headphones, possibly better face fit, and a standard WMR button layout that doesn't mess up zillions of games.

Beware tho. That game is immersive as fuck and if you are a chicken like me, be prepared to have a very hard time progressing the game without being scared shitless
And a ton of goofy abstract floating 3D hacking puzzles.I have seen that too. I haven't tried it though. I don't really understand all these free releases. Somebody footed the bill.
On that note, the free Aftershocks expansion for Walking Dead Saints & Sinners is out now. I have that installed but haven't played it yet either.
could be in app skins and other stuff that they want you to buy. Or they put out the first slice of a game to get press and follow it up with a more fleshed out finished product that is paid for. But hey more free stuff is good lol

It looks like some snippets of the Quest Pro have leaked ahead of Connect. Interestingly the controllers don't have a tracking ring. Guess they've evolved their hand tracking enough they can use that for position instead.
Tracking rings have been a feature for long enough, controllers without them look oddly naked!
