Facebook is really throwing down the gauntlet.

Because I need more Hornet campaigns to suck at. ;) Keeping an eye on this one.

I have the same problem with the HyperX. Rift S's crappy sound is a HUGE factor in my wanting to upgrade.

Something must be off in your setup or environment. I've used Track IR 2, 4 and 5 over 12 years and it's been nothing but mind-blowing. Have a look at what the camera "sees" in your TrackIR application and you should find the problem.

So am I, but that probably won't be the case after moving from Rift S to Reverb G2. :pilotfly:

Impressed and amazed that I won't have to upgrade my motherboard or PSU for the 3080. That makes it so much easier to swallow the cost of upgrading my 1080Ti. Rock on!

You'll also see a vast improvement in your flying with VR. Life-sized scale and real depth perception allow you to fly as in real life. You'll be able to do things that are practically impossible using a monitor.

Good to know, thanks. Didn't realize Hornet was still in early access.

Very excited about this one. Will we see this campaign in the next stable release if most or all issues are resolved, or is it dependent on Super Carrier coming out of early access?

Any word on when they're going to re-brand the Oculus Rift to Facebook Face?

Nice of him to let us know within the hour.... that was a great surprise this morning!

Excellent, some great dog fighting footage and the low altitude stuff looks thrilling!

+1 I'll also be upgrading my Rift S to G2 ASAP. This video made up my mind.

The new F5-E campaign Black Sea Resolve '79 is being prepared for official release. Hopefully we'll see this soon!

I loved TrackIR so much for so long, but the depth perception and scale is what makes VR and experience that can't be matched. Seeing a new life-size cockpit for the first time always takes my breath away.

I'm sure there'll be a big deal about it in the weekly newsletter when the time comes. :) Hopefully this summer?

Fantastic! [whips out credit card like ninja throwing star]

That's a let-down, I just finished the F-5E training missions last night and was really looking forward to playing this campaign. Any indication on when it will be re-released? Will it become an officially released DLC?

Great video. I terribly miss the feedback I got with MSFFB2 joystick, but really need the precision and range of motion found in the VKB Pro. It's crazy that no one has made a FFB joystick in the last 20 years. As he mentioned, FFB is now standard in racing wheels and has a tremendous effect on immersion.

A small infrared lamp solves this problem completely. Its illumination of objects is very easy to track while the room remains dark to the human eye. Edit: I was shocked to discover this coming from CV1 and took me a while to figure out what was happening if it got dark while I was in the rift!

Certainly tempting, at least for racing and GA flight simulation.

JackStalke, I believe it will be called the "Bravo". Hard to imagine anyone in their right mind releasing a product called Beta. ....oh wait, 1980 is calling lol!

I'll give that a try, I just expected earbuds to pop out. :)

I hear you. I like my Rift S for simplicity and cost, but the poor audio becomes more of a deal breaker over time. Using external headphones is clunky and they fly off when you're whipping around in a dogfight.

Great update, appreciate all the information and looking forward to the new maps! Best of luck.
