The Gryphon Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Hi all! I have been playing DCS for 5 years on a 2D-monitor. Today I bought the Quest 3S, jumped into DCS and was completely blown away! DCS is a completely DIFFERENT game in VR, not only that you are suddenly sitting inside the cockpit, all the proportions is completely different! I have never liked or enjoyed the A-10C, but now I am IN LOVE with the A-10! This bird is HUGE in VR and the cockpit is sooo beautiful! I also jumped into the P-47 and ohh man, let me tell you, if you enjoy warbirds, you are teleported back 50 years inside the real P-47 and it looks NOTHING like on a 2D monitor! The thing is I am running a pretty crappy home computer, RTX 3080, 32 GB Ram, I5 and the most simple VR-headset a Quest 3S for 300 dollars, I am getting a solid 40-60 FPS in singleplayer even on Normandy map. This is the best spent 300 dollars in my entire life, I am NEVER going to play DCS without a VR-headset again, just doing some simple flying is 10x more fun then before 6

I bought modules, that I might have avoided in 2D, because of that, with no regrets though. So I go with @Killg0re NL... 26 minutes ago, Killg0re NL said: Oh my, ur lost now 2

I jumped into my F-18 Hornet and my jaw dropped down to the floor! This is INSANE! The F-18 cockpit in VR is crazy, it like jumping into a real fighter jet, it really is!!! 1 hour ago, Qcumber said: Yes. It's now an neverending journey. There is no going back.

Yeah everything has been running smooth with a stable 50 FPS in singleplayer until I tested multiplayer , then everthing crashed. But I think it is because I am running my Metaquest 3 /steamlink with Wifi, and they stronlgy recomend using a internet-cable, so down to the store tomorrow to buy a cable

Let me tell you I just did a barrel-roll with my F-18 in DCS and I almost throw up! I tried to pull 7G and it was to much, I started to feel light-headed and a bit dizzy, if that's not immersion I don't know what is!
