Is it really as good as everyone is making out? Was it DK1 or DK2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ells228 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 It was a DK1 set and I actually haven't seen the Hawk in the Rift yet. But on the 3d monitor it was simply stunning. Most people's first word was Wow!! And some others were words I can't post in here hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy10uk Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Is it really as good as everyone is making out? Simple answer, hell yes. Simply stunning. Don't get me wrong, the DK1 is Low res, so the instruments were not readable nor any cockpit labels. However the res is enough for you to see outside and the other hawk. The cockpit is fully 3D and really does feel like you're sitting in it. Even with the unreadable instrument panel, flying through the hills of Georgia in formation wi another Hawk, the immersive feeling was second to none. I have never had any sim feel so immersive in all my years of simming. Hell I even forgot I was in a tent at an airshow. I maybe said wow out loud to the amusement of the crowd. :) If the DK1 can manage this, the DK2 and certainly the CV1, are going to be put of this world. It truly is the next gen sim experience. Some ugly bugger enjoying it. ;) Oh and my Bro IndianaJon having a go.

doright Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Oh and my Bro IndianaJon having a go. Cowboy10uk He seemed to be spending a lot of time looking down in the cockpit, then it struck me why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaspeR32 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Glad to hear people are liking the Hawk and DCS with the Rift. If people are liking it with the DK1, I can't wait to see what they say about DK2 or CV1!

Ells228 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 The monitor we had at Dux is crystal clear on all the dials and gauges and instruments so is imagine the DK2 will be the same. One of the things I found superb was the depth level and ground rush feeling you get in 3d. I'm doing a military tech dem at Farnborough on Thursday with Matt, our Hawk QFI so I'll get his thoughts on it. Thanks for the pic and video Dave. Yeah I'd imagine he was looking down at the cockpit, it is stunning in 3d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
