I'm having technical difficulties with my GAIM Compact?

Please follow our troubleshooting guide which can be found here. There are also tutorials showing different settings. If you still experience issues please contact us for support.

How is the score calculated in GAIM Compact?

General rule is that a killing shot generates 1000p. Any injuring shot deducts 100p. Breaking any safety rule deducts 250p. All points are multiplied by your accuracy which in turn is calculated by dividing killing shots with total shots. The points should encourage hunting like decisions of not taking too difficult shots.

What countries do you deliver to?

GAIM Compact is currently released in Europe.  Support so far is only English. You can still order the product to other European countries but we will not be able to offer support in your local language.

Where do I find the GAIM software in the headset?

The GAIM Software is found among all other Apps and is downloaded from Oculus App Lab

Do I need the Oculus Link cable to use GAIM Compact?

You don't need any PC or cable when playing. Only the headset and a smartphone for setup.

Can I use Mac to install the GAIM software to my headset?

You don't need any computer to install the software but it's downloaded from Oculus App Lab

What are the ballistics used in GAIM Compact?

We have used the data of a standard 308w cartridge in our calculations with a bullet speed of 800 m/s.

How do I know if I'm on the latest GAIM Compact software version?

We publish our release notes as soon as a new version is released where you can see what version is the latest, the release notes contains information about what's been published, e.g. bug fixes, added functionality etc. The system itself will also notify you if there is an update available.

Do I need to pair the trigger via the Oculus app on my phone or can I do it in the headset?

We recommend pairing via the Oculus app on your phone. While you might be able to pair in the headset directly and get it working we have noticed a bug in the Oculus software which causes issues such as the trigger not registering clicks, disconnecting in the middle of use and not being able to find each other at all. 

Can you sell the headset to me as well?

We do not sell the Oculus Quest headset, you will have to purchase it separately.

Can I order a system for my friend at the same time?

Yes, you can order several systems. But we need a name and an email address for each systems account and license key. You can either make separate orders for each person with their information. Or buy several systems in one order and email info@gaim.com the name and email address that should be connected to the other systems. 

How do I purchase more scenarios?

You can purchase them here on gaim.com. Use the same email address as when you purchased your GAIM Compact and the new scenario will automatically be added to your account. After the purchase is finished, you will need to restart GAIM in your headset. It will then ask you for an update which is your new scenario.

Can I order the scenarios without buying the GAIM Compact first?

No, your account and license key is connected to a GAIM Compact. You need an account with us to purchase more scenarios. Use the same email always when purchasing from us.

Where can I find my license key?

It is in the first order confirmation that you received from us. Still can’t find it? Email us at info@gaim.com. Always use the same email address and name that is in the purchase, that way we can help you better. 

How can I buy for my company without VAT?

At the moment our system does not allow for purchases without VAT. All customers purchase with a debit or credit card. Once the order is shipped, contact us and we can extract an Invoice that shows what you paid and that you paid the correct amount of VAT for your country. 

Can I purchase a scenario for a friend?

You sure can! All you need to do is enter their email in your purchase or contact us at info@gaim.com and we will assist you.

Do I need a Paypal account?

No, you can choose to pay with debit or credit card without logging into your Paypal account. 

What Oculus Quest should I buy?

The Oculus Quest 2. It is what is sold in stores today. It is sold with 64gb, 128gb or 256gb memory. GAIM takes about 1-2gb memory. They all work for GAIM, but you might want to download other applications.

If you already own an Oculus Quest 1 it also works with GAIM. Buy the Compact from us, and then email info@gaim.com to inform us that want a Compact for Quest 1.

Is the graphics comparable to the latest video- and computer games?

No, the graphics in a VR world powered by a headset can’t be compared to those in the more flat world of a conventional computer game, powered by a gaming PC. Hopefully the power of VR headsets catch up in the future. Then our graphics will follow that development. Right now we are at the limits of an Oculus capacity. Which is quite impressive considering its computer fits inside a headset. Most hunters appreciate the practice that our rifle and ballistics can give more than beautiful leaves and rainfall. Viewing a video captured from GAIM on a normal screen or phone is not comparable to your experience when you are immersed inside Virtual Reality.

Do you only aim with a red dot in GAIM?

Being a subsidiary of Aimpoint we’re not expecting to move away from the red dot any time soon as we thoroughly believe it’s the best suited sight for the situations we simulate. Having said that, if we get enough requests to introduce a scope we might do it, but nothing we’re planning on currently.

The muscle memory built up in the simulator can however still be used when shooting with a scope in real life.
