  1. Find a buddy with a Reverb and your favorite module and make up your mind at his place. Everything you hear from people who love/hate VR is biased by the time and money invested in VR. I went from a 1080p monitor to SO+ and the first time I tried VR I said "Oh Hell Yeah".
  2. Cool - glad I could help... :)
  3. Inside the mission Esc Adjust Controls Axis Assign scroll down to wheel brake left and click it Axis Tune and turn on Slider and click Invert same for the wheel brake right click OK return to mission and hit R-Ctrl+Enter to see effect
  4. Retreating blade stall, mast bumping, rotor collisions... Not the way man was meant to fly - helicopters should be illegal - they're just wrong :megalol:
  5. If you enjoyed Boyd's bio here is an interview with the author https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/podcast-101-the-fighter-pilot-who-changed-the-art-of-war-with-robert-coram/ The Airforce hates Boyd and the Marines love him...
  6. The low price was $300 so $150 + shipping sounds about right. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Reverb but I need to find a surgeon to change my IPD to 63. Probably have to remove 4mm from the part of the brain connecting the two halves but I don't think that'll have any effect on my flight simming. I usually donate old computer gear to the high school computer instructor but in this case I'll keep the Samsung controllers after making sure they can pair with the Reverb.
  7. Thanks Fenrir - that cockpit looks like it was designed by a locomotive manufacturer. The landing gear hydraulic manifold must weigh thrity pounds by itself.

    I've seen civilization - you can keep it. :megalol: My only internet option is satellite. A grand total of 25 Gb per month with a free period between midnight and 5 AM. If updates take more than five hours I stop the download and restart at midnight.
  9. Biography of John Boyd - father of the F-16 https://www.amazon.com/Boyd-Fighter-Pilot-Who-Changed-ebook/dp/B000FA5UEG
  10. Willie, start here for settings. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=229510 Harlikwin has since built a better system. I'm not psychic but I see a computer upgrade in your future. VR is amazing isn't it?
  11. Turn up your side lamps - rheostats on the right side of the cockpit. RUFO-45... :book: Took a while for me to find it too.
  12. You can download Windows Mixed Reality from Steam. No need for the M$ store... I'm running Win10 1803 17134.590 - WMR works fine with it.
  13. The Odyssey has a knob that adjusts IPD physically and shows the current IPD onscreen. Much better than software IPD adjustment...
  14. The Odyssey+ doesn't use external camera towers like the Rift. Cameras are built into the HMD along with position sensors. Whether the Odyssey image is better than the Rift is subjective. Sounds like you're sold on VR though. This forum is a great help for setting up VR which ever way you decide to go.
  15. https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Jills-Center-Aperture-Count/dp/B01A0E1RU2/ref=pd_day0_c_194_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01A0E1RU2&pd_rd_r=1ae790f0-2f0b-11e9-910d-c707fb6d7b72&pd_rd_w=rpphO&pd_rd_wg=0Xiy9&pf_rd_p=fda7cfe5-3364-4578-ae5e-ac4ab3645932&pf_rd_r=BETW2S3XE05EM4AXW11E&psc=1&refRID=BETW2S3XE05EM4AXW11E For God sake don't buy it at Amazon - resellers jack up prices to rediculus levels there. Just go to the local drug store and ask for foot pads. You're looking for something made of silicone or felt to widen the gap between the O+ and the foam. The foam on the O+ is about perfect but just needs to be reshaped. Felt floor protectors would also work... Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Self-Stick-Furniture-Round-Felt-Surfaces/dp/B001WAK5XE/ref=sr_1_7?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1550006539&sr=1-7&keywords=felt+chair+floor+protectors Just cut to size You could use cardboard note pad backing for that matter. Just let your imagination run wild. The new gap on mine only measures 0.200 inch. YMMV...
