3-in-1 is definitely not a must-buy, especially if you have a DAS.

I read that the new cable is the same weight as the old one. That's not to say people are imagining an improved feel though.

Gotta say that the Titanic Honor & Glory Demo is either not the best optimized piece of software around or just too demanding for my 980ti, I can't look at the water outside the ship without getting frame loss :/, also nearly constant controller juddering.
Aside from that I want to see more of the ship, I want to see the machine room and run around the deck. I hope they can get it to run more smoothly by the time they release the full version.

IMO it is worth every penny. Original cable, being wide and flat, is much easier to curl up and trip over. Quite the difference with the 3 in 1. Still winds up but lays more flat and easier to step over. But if you arent taking full advantage of roomscale, it probably isnt really worth it.
*edit: forgot to comment on weight. They seem to be about the same. Maybe a touch lighter for the 3 in 1. Not super noticeable.
New Question. Thinking about picking up a reasonably priced Hotas, how is Elite now on Vive?

I bought it and I'm glad I did. It's a nice improvement, no more tangled cables.

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the 3-in-1 cable. For $40, I'll give them a shot. I can always return them if they don't seem worth it.
Crazy. Was it a hard thing to fix?

The new cable won't save you anything weight wise.
Considering they're defective by design, your self repaired one has a chance of lasting longer than an official replacement anyhow.
As for my continual monkeying around with the spreadsheet concept, additional sheets powered by formula filters can bypass the view filter limitation on mobile. Used in tandem with a script to automatically hide blank entries, and it pretty much sidesteps the need for view filters. Published as a webpage it's mostly decent, and certainly faster to load that the actual google sheets webapp. Image scaling for Oculus only links is borked for some reason though, and the page in general doesn't seem to scale to fit mobile well, but other than that is relatively smooth. Behind the scenes I created a caching system to maintain the data from scrapes so it shouldn't go wonky with the potential for hundreds of URL scrapes at the same time when somebody edits a submission. Now only new submissions are scraped, and the display page uses the cache exclusively. The page only updates with new submissions every 30 minutes now, but that's better than randomly breaking.

What about tangling? More or less than a problem than the original?
Less, very much less. No contest.

Anyone try lone echo/arena yet? Seeing in the Reddit that it's usable with revive.

Only played the first 30-45 minutes or so of single player. Pretty damn impressive so far. I really enjoyed the little bit of Echo Arena I played in the beta too.

OK, since nobody took up the PCVR thread officially and the amount of time I've spent messing with the Sheets concept, I've officially taken over that role as well. With the SteamVR and PCVR threads complete, this thread is ready for a lock. /salutes
