I'm patched to the latest Steam beta bu haven't trued the new VR mode yet.

More Dev Kit 1?

A lot of what Palmer and I talked about is proprietary to Nthusim, but the Crystal Cove demo info I can publicly disclose. They've done much to address the short comings of previous builds. I speculate there'll be several more prototype builds after Crystal Cove -- evolving into Dev Kit 2 and then consumer version. Crystal Cove just happened to be the prototype they had ready for CES 2014. The head tracking used IR target points on the front and sides of the HMD that were picked up by an IR camera device in front of the user about 3 feet away. It allowed for approximately 300 degrees of rotation for a seated person before it broke positional tracking. Basically, if you were to do a gaming seat for a HOTAS setup, that sort of tracking would work fine. The OLED panel they used had a more vibrant color gamut and did a few new tricks to negate ghosting and motion blur when quickly panning your head around. Overall, the Crystal Cove prototype would be what I would like to see as the baseline for the consumer model. I realize that Crystal Cove is basically a one off and merely a stepping stone to the next prototypes. I'm happy with that, as it means we'll see even further improvements over the next few months. To paraphrase Palmer, it'll be ready when it's ready. ;)

If anyone wants to know about Crystal Cove in detail I had 15 minutes of seat time with it on Thursday. Talked with Palmer for 30 minutes about goals and direction of Nthusim HMD development. Also had seat time with the previous Rift HD prototype to compare and contrast thanks to contacts at AMD.

I am kind of curious who does have the IP rights to Republic-Fairchild's old designs anyways? I'm more curious because I own the nose section of a Republic F-84F. I inquired around awhile back and no one owned up to owning the IP of the aircraft designs anymore.

I think it's a waste to buy a UHD right now when HDMI 2.0 comes out next month.

I like the idea of UHD, I just don't like the port input for most displays yet. Also I prefer the FOV for mult-display. Now just to get video cards to the point where they can push Eyefinity 3x1 UHD at a reasonable pace then kick it up a notch and have it be multi-projector instead. ;) Crisp pixel density is nice, I just prioritize FOV over pixel density. Would be nice to have both though.

Excellent, keep us updated. :thumbup:

Seems like way too much motion actuation for just bumps on a runway and going through the grass. Cool that it works though.

As someone with 20 feet of fighter fuselage, never confuse "need" with "want". The words are not interchangeable. I take your question and pose another --- why use wood when you can use cardboard, paper mache and crayons? *chuckle*

IMHO, his T-45C is one of my favorite to fly in P3D. Excellent freeware. Wish he could port it over to DCS World.

800p is borderline, but when you have constant motion you tune it out. I'm really wanting to do a cube with BenQ W1080ST, but good luck getting the bank to get 5 of them. :) On a separate note, you can find GT720 for around $400-450 now.

Dreamlifter pilots go full retard...

I think it's a foregone conclusion that no matter what game I buy anymore it's going to suck for the first 6 months of existence and after that it'll either get worse and die or be patched into something decent.

For $8k I'll make you a full Eyefinity 5x1 cube room using W1080ST. :doh: If you buy a CRV43, you'd be going full retard... :lol:

CastAR live stream going on. Streaming Services

Yep, I also pledged the $285 pledge level. Looking into viability of Nthusim HMD integration and separately a simpit project. Only 11 hours left till the Kickstarter closes.

It should prove ot be a fun sandbox game. Main issue I take with it is that there is no multi-player option. I picked it up 25% off GMG coupon and they sent out the keys yesterday so I'm preloaded on Steam now.

Another thing to think about, isn't the GTX770 the same thing as the GTX680 but with slightly faster memory? http://www.dailytech.com/NVIDIAs+GeForce+GTX+680+Gets+Tuned+Rebranded+as+399+GTX+770/article31660.htm

Yep, it's more spring system garbage. You can see it in the video.

With TacPack currently making a surge in the FSX community it doesn't surprise me this went under. The pricing structure was all wrong.

Looks awesome. Good work. :)

Projector calculator Pro is pretty awesome for that stuff. :) http://www.projectorcentral.com/Acer-H7531D-projection-calculator-pro.htm

From their 10/29 update: "Today the team also started to set up the ground shading and sun lighting color parameters that we believe will start to give the world a much more natural look." They are still working color palette. That was mentioned awhile back.

Looks good on the projection, what lens throw is that projector?
