So I was accepted into the MSFS 2020 alpha, which is great. VR support doesn't exist yet in the sim but the visuals are supposed to be absolutely stunning so I was quite excited. Trouble is, I haven't flown on a 2d screen in years. I didn't worry about it much because I thought the ability to see the high quality visuals and be able to push buttons without blind muscle memory might be a nice change of pace. Well... the game does look good, but it simply makes me feel like I am watching a plane on a screen. I don't even know how anyone could ever go back to that. I cannot wait for the next batch of headsets to be released.

Games that try to use the benefits of steam but also go around steam should probably take a more careful look at their long term plans. I had no interest in Jets and would have never have bought this game outside of steam. One day I decided to try it (from steam) and I found out that I adore this sim; but now I am somewhat left out of early access releases etc and I am openly encouraged to "leave steam, its better for the developers" Somehow it doesn't feel right or good

Has anyone found a key map graphic sheet in PDF that we can print out for the new grip?

Has anyone seen a key-mapping template chart for this new stick?

I don’t know you, nor your axe to grind; but I get 50-65 frames on 120hz... with a decent PC but nothing crazy good. You sound like a wagon horse salesman trying to convince people that automobiles suck. I honestly don’t know what you are talking about.

:cry: After two years of playing VR you tell me my game is unplayable? What have I been playing all this time?

Sk000tch, Can you post a detailed account of your settings for both the HMD and the game? I’m getting good performance but Not quite that good

I just ordered it from Amazon and it gave me a June 6- June 16 estimate. Though I feel like that is simply being vague and I am hoping its a filler until new information arrives. I do not understand how the lack of news on this item persists.

Thank you Chuck, such a labor of love

Just got the plane and it’s very cool. Is there a way to open and close the canopy by clicking something or do I have to use the keyboard?

Agreed, quite handy in VR with the F14. It would be nice in the F18

While flying the F14 in VR can the pilot open/close the canopy and/or initiate ejection seat (not using the keyboard). Try as I might I cannot find a way to do either by clicking things.

I was wondering this as well. The wheel lights up when I look at it but the select key doesn’t always work. How did they intend people in VR use this?

Looking for this as well.

I meant the AI models used in existing missions.

Does anyone know if when new higher poly plane models get released do they upgrade the in-game versions or do old missions still use the lower poly stuff?

The best way to be sure is bail out and look at your body. If you see a little kid... lower it.

I never realized that is what that did, I thought that was the headset ipd. Thank you.

I have used the VivePro for almost a year both il2 and DCS. The one thing that bothered me is the scale in il2 is about 10% off, and others confirm this. I thought it was just il2 but after playing DCS I see that it is also off about 10%. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
