71st_Mastiff Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) After about 2 days now, everything is working and understanding this complex machine. It is a joy to fly!! The attention 2 detail is outstanding by far the best representation of a complex aircraft I have ever had the privilege to buy and use. The 2-D environment most users will fly i.e monitor flat screen users, you are extremely missing out on a VR experience of flying these DCS World planes there is a lot of details you're missing out on in the 3D VR world. A lot of work has been put in these machines you just wouldn't believe until you're in the VR world to see it. I have only one grip! why are the landing, strobe, NAV, Beacon lights not working? My VR Rift I was avrg, with ASW off 45 and above in the sky, down close to the ground 30fps, but no ASW issues and no stutters. If you don't have enough money to buy then I would wait for a discount, its worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. Mastiff approved. P.S now I got to go watch Top Gun!!! Damit!

bogeyatyour6 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Indeed. The first thing I did on my brother's PC (he has a Rift) was to appreciate the cockpit and RIO office. Not kidding, I didn't do much else for the first 45mins and even though I have to run the sim on pretty low settings on my brother's pc. (Mine broke :( ) I literally cried (of joy)! =MoAu= Mors Audente - The Bold Death Squadron 'Hey Jeff, the plane feels a little off today...'

Nodak Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Hit the master external light switch on your throttle. By design, no lights on the carrier till launch. Yup, the rear pit is far more outstanding in 3D, beyond anything I imagined looking at the flat pictures, impressive. Front is nice and roomy, not bad at all.

Max_Rogue Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The lights work fine for me. I turn them on via the switches, and then flick the pinky switch on my warthog, and they come right on. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsunelegend Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 As cool as VR is, most current units can cost anywhere from $400 to $600 USD, which is a lot of money for most normal people. (hell, I dont even have $400 to my name atm) Not to mention, VR requires pretty decent rigs to run properly. So I think I personally will probably never get to experience VR at all, unless I'm gifted a unit and a new GPU to put into my computer. (still running an old gtx970 and likely wont be upgrading any time soon) but thats as likely to happen as me getting to fly an actual F-14 in real life. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNZ Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yeah HB have definitely outdone themselves - this thing is awesome!! I also seem to be getting pretty good performance in my Rift too - I run at potato settings with 1.2PD running a 1080ti thou.

Cake Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I’d take VR in its current state any day over a 5k flat panel at double the frame rate. While VR is inferior for spotting and identifying aircraft, the feel of flying and sense of depth, closure, speed and spatial awareness make VR the better experience for me. I’ve tried going back to track IR - it’s just a giant step backward. 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my old gfx card to fund half of the cost to get VR. I'm 46 and have been simming for the best part of 25 years. I'm not missing out on this VR stuff. No way. It is well worth it. It's almost profound without sounding to dramatic. A dream come true for me. I can sit in the cockpits and fly them now. It is just superb! Get it mate.
