Lucky Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I had the same reaction when I used it in the A-10C for the first time. I've been away from flight sims for almost a year now and sold my Rift and other controllers. Just the other day I decided to get back into them, so I ordered a Rift, TM Warthog and a set of MFG Crosswinds.

javelina1 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 thanks for the comments. dburne - I found myself at work, wanting to get home and jump on this bad boy. I feel like a kid going to Disneyland for the first time, all over again. John H - I did get the Touch controllers with the Rift. What a cool setup this is with 'em. Plus, I received a $100 voucher for the Occulus store. I just ordered another SSD, so that I can use it for the VR game storage. Hawk - you're right buddy. You've been pinging me to get on the VR bandwagon for a while now. I should've listened to you sooner! All - I let Wifey take the Rift out for a spin. She was shaking her head at how incredible this is. Woot!

Since you have the Touch controllers, be sure and take Robo Recall for a spin ( it is free with Touch). That game is freaking hilarious. All - I let Wifey take the Rift out for a spin.

However you gotta watch them, mine took a video of me playing Dead and Buried with Touch without my knowledge, it was not a pleasant thing to see lol.

John Hargreaves Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Robo Recall is great fun and very well done for what it is, a big dumb shoot everything that moves type of game, but designed with the rift in mind from the start. The graphics are also very impressive, are they still giving it free with touch or has that offer finished? I would recommend Mission:ISS too, you don't do much other than float around bits of the International Space Station, but you do get a genuine feeling of weightlessness, and I lost a whole morning just floating around looking at stuff, staring out of the window, poking things and flinging screwdrivers and ketchup bottles around in zero-G. It was weird coming 'back to Earth' afterwards. i7-7700K/Gigabyte RTX2080/Win10 64bit/32Gb RAM/Asus Xonar DX+Sennheiser HD380pro headphones/LG 34" UM65 @2560x1080/TM Warthog+VKB MkIV Rudder pedals/Rift CV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it, have had a lot of fun with it and still do. Have played it through once, now I just go back in occasionally and play through again trying to get better scores. The vast majority of my time is flight simming though, but it is fun for those occasional breaks in between missions.

javelina1 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 There is no way, absolutely no way, I'll go back to flying with my big screen and TrackIR. Man, oh man... I love how when even taxiing my K-4 with the cockpit open, I put my head out a little either way, and help with line of vision for moving around on the ground. this is way too awesome... do I sound like a satisfied customer? you bet!!!

I love how when even taxiing my K-4 with the cockpit open, I put my head out a little either way, and help with line of vision for moving around on the ground. this is way too awesome... do I sound like a satisfied customer? you bet!!! :thumbup: I totally get it. I got mine on Jan 15th and still feel the same today as well. After a bit, you get used to the resolution and hardly notice it anymore - at least I don't. Target spotting is not too bad, but ID'ing presents a challenge for sure. I only fly SP and fly with labels on.

R1Lawsy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Fly helos mainly and the dot labels mod works well, I find full labels detract from the feeling of being there - maybe try it out? Sent from my G3125 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
