Valve Index Base Station (1 Pack)

Product Information

I won't be using my Hifi system whilst flying, so there won't be vibration whilst I'm in VR but it's a good point that I hadn't thought of. The vibration whilst blasting out Led Zep on my Hifi might move the base stations. Aaaargh! I'm having a nightmare of a time trying to get Steam VR to recognise all of the devices. First it said that the VR headset display cable wasn't connected, when it was, after a while this message went away, then it said :

When I do want to play games that use the controllers, how do I update firmware? I connected the USB cables to give the controllers a charge, I presume I connect the USB cables and find some kind of setting in Steam VR to update firmware? If you need to re-synchronize the base stations or add new base stations, consult the Valve Index documentation for the specific steps required. The front right Base Station had a lit up A displayed on the front, I pressed the button and it changed to BLearn more.For a full set of product specs and additional information, please visit https://www.valvesoftware.com/index.

Unlike the Oculus Rift CV1 (my previous headset) it would seem that the only software I need is Steam VR, is this correct? the set comes with two base stations which is all you need but the HTC ones work fine they just dont come with extra mounting hardware if you want a 3rd base station Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope to be up and running when my mounting plates arrive tomorrow (fingers crossed) bro, I've seen a lot of people act like their VR headset is objectively the best, but this is on another level. It's enough for them, they're happy with it, so let them enjoy it.When setting up the Valve Index VR system for the first time, the synchronization process is usually done automatically.

I have found the online manual and will answer my own questions in green... for those in the same boat! I just found Valve's own guide for setting up the Index. For anyone else who is new to the Index, here is the link... https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9140-EYIL-0086 I was giving to buy a valve index in August but after seeing so many people having problems, I decided to go for the oculus quest 2 which is wireless and trip free. It has done me good for nearly 3 months I did a solo spawn on the Kuban map at Adler in the South East region of the map where the mountains are, I had 80 fps except when I was skimming the ground at treetop height where I was getting mid 70's fps. Like I said I run IL-2 graphics settings on Ultra, I took the shadows quality down a notch from Ultra to High and disabled the MSAA x 2. I tried the flight again and it stayed at 80 fps even at very low level over trees and towns. Could it be that my Base Stations are too close together? they are pointing at each other on a diagonal 240 cm 2.4 m apartI am thinking of mounting one of them in front of me to the wall above a window and it will be 150 cm from my headset when flight simming, is this enough distance?

I'm finally getting round to setting up my second hand Valve Index with controllers and HTC Vive base stations. Unfortunately the kit didn't come with an instruction manual, and whilst I will search the internet for a guide to set up my gear, I would still appreciate some advice from those who have experience with the Index. I hear what you're saying regarding the adhesive maybe not being strong enough, those Vive base stations are quite heavy! Yep those were the tripods, they worked out great and very easy to set up. And like I said previously have not touched them since.
