Well imho there is no point in releasing CV2 next year - and maybe not the year after. If it has all the features that are expected, I venture that it would run like a pukeworthy slideshow on today's hardware.
After watching Sweviver's video on the Pimax in DCS World, it became abundantly clear (having only been suspected to that point) that we will need major performance increases to even only increase the FoV and resolution (as some here are saying should be done and released right now) let alone the real goodies that are purportedly coming with CV2. It seems the CPU is what's holding things back - and lets face it, there hasn't been the huge leaps and bounds made in CPU tech that we have had in other areas. Until we get either a large jump in processor performance, or far better optimisation on the software side, it would be folly to release such a headset right now - or even within a year or so.
Okay, Pimax' software is likely nowhere near as advanced as that of Oculus, but nevertheless I already see some sims not running well on anything less than the best performing hardware even on what we have now.
Wouldn't surprise me if they have CV2 pretty much sorted, and what is required is optimising it so that it can be operated by more than just those with very deep pockets - even when it is finally released.
As far as I see it, popular user owned hardware is the key. They don't want a Vive Probacle on their hands, after all.

I am with you there, those are the games I spend most of my time in as well.
herne6210 saidWell in my case, My Rift is getting a bit worse for wear. It's had 1000's of hours of use in games such as Elite Dangerous, DCS and IL2. The mic is no longer serviceable, the display is starting to lack colour, looks very washed out, and I am thinking it might be time I look to replace it.
I do not want to buy a like for like model, if an improvement is on the horizon. Indeed if I am forced to replace it pre CV2, then I will almost certainly be looking for for the best tech available at the time.

Let me ask - how would you fix the current PCVR market to make it grow/be better?

Just give me a CV1 with improved res and optics and I will be very happy. Call it a 1.5 but please give us something !!!

And make the same mistake as HTC? Not recommended.
