Just read your review in latest edition of PC pilot magazine. 97% rating. And fully deserved. Congratulations HB. You should be very proud.

The only way I can describe it is that when you put on the headset you no longer are sitting in front of a monitor you are sitting inside an aeroplane. It’s one of those things where people can be headstrong against it until they have tried it. My brother recently tried my rift, he is a dcs user and has flown aircraft. He was without exaggerating amazed. In fact he was not expecting the influence it could have on tricking the mind and was pessimistic about vr. He was particularly impressed when looking down from the side of the cockpit and the depth of perception and the feeling that you were indeed 20,000 ft in the air and those were his exact words. ,”you no longer feel you are in front of a monitor you feel like you are inside a cockpit”. Over time I admit you kind of get used to it and that initial amazement wears off. And I now long for some kind of motion influence, but what is telling is there is no way I could go back to a 2d monitor. And I would say virtually all people that have gone to VR say the same thing. If you decide to do it you may experience some sickness. I did. Over a short period of time I overcome this and no longer experience the problem. Powerful pc giving good FPS is a necessity though. This is my opinion of course and if people are still playing on monitors and still enjoying it with home build cockpits fair play to them. We all enjoy are own thing. If you’re not sure about splashing out on that kind of money see if there’s a way to experience VR in a flight simulator first to see if it’s your thing.

I’m glad you’re still visiting the forums.

Yes I don’t get the Mirage situation, I was completely happy with the VR pilot and thought it looked great didn’t see the need to re-do it. But fair enough if that’s what they want to do but why not keep the old one until the new one is ready.

I do hope so. I thought it was becoming the standard for all modules to have it included but developers seem to be putting it on the backburner. The hornet looks and runs fantastic with it. But I’m surprised nothing has been mentioned about the recent Fw190 a8 not having it. It surely has to be a must for the F16 and VR.

looks like you had a great day.

When you say it is there, you can activate it with Right shift+P?

Much better performance wise since the last few patches.

It really needs a pilot body for VR hope that gets added soon. All modules would benefit from this with VR in my opinion

Hope they get the engine note of the TF-30s right. I Look forward to it.

Ask WindyTX about it. A former F3 pilot. I asked him about it and it was a more capable airplane than people ever gave it credit for. I believe the radar was particularly good. I’m sure he would defend it from some of the bashing it receives. That being said I would prefer the interdiction variant. I just love it.

Grumman F6F Hellcat.

Can you make this available?

Just the AI models would be a great addition to the Normandy map. I would not be interested in them being flyable personally but the models look very good.

Fantastic skins.

I still enjoy the Gazelle. It feels extremely light to control maybe too much and slightly unnatural, but then I’ve never actually flown a helicopter so what’s to say this isn’t actually what a gazelle is like. I would have thought by now they may have looked at the pilots and particularly the face renders which I think look horrible particularly when you compare it to the detailed work from belsimtek.

Hi what map are you experiencing this on?

Yeah thing is the patch after this caused problems again for me. So I’m sticking with this one for the time being, it works great with the F14. I know they are looking into it and hopefully will get to the root of the problem.

Latest Open Beta update caused regular drops below 45FPS in VR. Previous Open Beta 2.5.5.31917 I was getting a beautiful steady 45FPS in the Tomcat. I've just tested them back to back now so its not a placebo effect. So I've reverted back to that version to fly the F14. I shall try the next OB update hopefully when VR improvements are implemented.

It’s a great MOD.

desperate to get my hands on this keep checking the downloads section....

Ok by default one of my TM warthog throttle axis is set to radiator flaps but I could not see any movement, thanks for posting. I shall look into it maybe explain why im finding it’s climb performance particularly poor.

Ok been upset recently that I couldn't enjoy this precious module like I wanted to, and was disappointed that the VR improvements didn't make the update (not angry these things happen) but disappointed. But whatever has been implemented in this patch for me has given me fluid VR gameplay in the F14 in the PG as well. I'm delighted I even managed to focus on the meatball whilst keeping the AOA in the E-bracket which I've not been able to do before so I know the gameplay is far more fluid. Its beautiful thankyou ED developers and thankyou HB for this great module. All this and I may see further VR improvements in the next OB patch. I hope its not just me and others have seen smoother gameplay with the latest OB release. All I need now is the VR pilot body and i'm in VR perfection. Thanks team HB

Thank you sir. Joey this is great. Can’t wait to fly the Harrier from her deck.

Yes if we’re talking about cockpit in VR the hornet runs so much better than the F14. So super high textures ok but have an option for lower VR textures. You don’t notice them in VR anyway you just suffer with the performance.
