robban75 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) VR opened up a whole new world to me in terms of immersion. :) I got hooked by flightsims back in the mid 80's when F/A-18 Interceptor was released for the Amiga 500. Now 30 years later we've come a long way. A few months back I got a hold of a Oculus Rift headset. It blew my mind! So, here's a non-fancy video of me flying around in the Fw 190D-9 at low altitude over amazingly beautiful terrain provided by the Nevada map using the Oculus Rift. :) Hope you guys will enjoy it. :pilotfly: Edited December 8, 2016 by robban75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Financeman Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Looks beautiful and exhilarating. What is the model your are using. I am starting my research on this item. I have been in sims since micropose F117. Thanks for the video.

robban75 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks, Financeman! Glad you like it! :) I'm currently using the Oculus Rift CV1. I have no experience in the older DK1 and DK2, but from what I've gathered the CV1 has better resolution! Running a VR-set is tough work for your graphics card. I bought my current rig in may this year and it struggles, even with a Nvidia 980. I used to run the game on full but in VR I had to take the graphics down quite a bit in order to get a comfortable 90 fps(at least in the country side). The sim still looks amazing though! :) I can never go back to playing sims on a 2D screen. VR is as close as we'll ever get to piloting the real thing! :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robban75 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 More videos by me with the Oculus Rift. :) F-15C low and fast over morning traffic! :-) Mirage 2000C versus Su-24. Yeah, not a match really. But it shows the head movements and how easy it is to keep track of your opponent. :) Free flight in the Mirage 2000C. Take off from Groom Lake, high and low alts, some canyon flying. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
