FragBum Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 It is so difficult to try and actually explain what VR is like you kinda just have to take the plunge. :thumbup: I'm sure we could jump on a server and I could take you for a for a spin in the Gazelle. :D Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

Bun Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yeah , gonna be flying 10-15 minutes at a time for a week or two :) If you have the F-5 switch off the roll damper, dive to the deck with afterburners and shove the stick max left for a while. Have a bucket ready... :puke: I did it the second day of VR. Felt like a cat in a clothes dryer.

Mule Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Nice one. I must admit I felt a bit ropey when I first flew in VR. That all went away after a few flights. Great to hear your experience. Fighter Pilot Podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headwarp Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Make sure ASW or whatever Occulus uses is on..should help with the nausea. With my odyssey I got a little woozy once or twice but got used to it. And congratz on your rift. Pretty much the way I felt when if first got my Odyssey, except I probably flew for many hours that night. Landing in the huey gets my stomach every time.. and when I come to a stop in a taildragger, my whole body lurches forward like I slammed on the brakes in a car. "You got me VR... you got me."

toutenglisse Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Defenitely a game changer, and CV1 came as a very polished achieved product in all aspects. Move to buy it is not easy because it costs and it's hard to know what it will really be, but when you finally try it, you understand why you couldn't really imagine how great it is, and that you did right. Watching friends trying DCS VR for first time is also very funny. They do a barrel, and start doing strange noises… as you get ready with the bucket lol.
