panton41 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 The tech news site Ars Technica mentioned DCS World in an article about what people are doing during the lockdowns. The author of the section describes flying the F-14 in VR as " injecting an entire lifetime's worth of '80s wish fulfillment directly into my veins." The article also links to the "Free For All" video. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/04/the-games-getting-us-through-covid-19-blocks-animals-whatever-death-stranding-is/ Windows 10 64-bit | Ryzen 9 3900X 4.00GHz (OC) | Asus Strix B450-F | 64GB Corsair Vengeance @ 3000MHz | two Asus GeForce 1070 Founders Edition (second card used for CUDA only) | two Silicon Power 1TB NVMe in RAID-0 | Samsung 32" 1440p Monitor | two ASUS 23" 1080p monitors | ASUS Mixed Reality VR | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind A-10C Warthog | AV-8B Harrier (N/A) | F/A-18C Hornet | F-16C Viper | F-14B Tomcat | UH-1H Huey | P-51D Mustang | F-86F Saber | Persian Gulf | NTTR
Worrazen Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Oh wow that's a rarity, thanks for sharing. Props I guess, can't deny it ... quite surprising tho as Ars Technica is a huge politically-colored Silicon Valley mouthpiece, so my enthusiasm ends quickly after the DCS paragraph :P You can see around they have a weird article almost forgiving/apologizing the COV19 for "bringing us closer to the robot future" ... that's just how obsessed tech-nerds have become.
