Not sure if this is in the right section - but do any of you guys use VR yet? If you do what have you got and what are you're thoughts - good/bad/ugly??
-
Axion and Papps have it -not sure about anyone else. Ax is resident in Canadia-land these days (owed too many UK bar-bills) and thus you'll need a stamped-addressed carrier pigeon to converse with him.
From what I hear from those with it, it really is a 'next-step' towards reality although the down-side is -IIRC- viewing your instruments and the like. I am sure Ax will enlighten you more.
-
I'd read that some of the instruments were difficult to read, though assumed that might be down to PC specs and older drivers - as most of the reviews are a year old +
Be interesting to know what difference hardware has on the experience and indeed whether it's worth it, or whether its best to wait for Gen 2 VR to hit the decks.
-
I'm awaiting any big improvements myself, before getting anything.
BTW what stick you using?
-
Looks like HTC are about to release a higher Rez VR headset. Called the Hive Pro by the looks of it. Not sure what difference the higher Rez would have to the instrument issue?
-
The instruments are no longer an issue and haven’t been for a long time. Software and firmware updates have seen to that. However, spotting air and ground targets without zoom, can be an issue.
-
Thanks for that - which headset do you use out of interest??
Just got an X56 archer - not overly impressed to be honest...
-
Prefer the Rift over the Vive.
-
Well I took the plunge and picked up a Rift this mornign... What a hoot!
Still trying to get to grips with it at the moment and only had a quick VR flight in DCS, but it is very impresive.
-
Good stuff!
Next time I see one demonstrated anywhere, I'll have to have a longer look at it -if they bother doing demos anywhere like they did at Duxford a time or 2.
Either that, or not be a tight-a%$* and just get one... >:(
-
I'd wait a little Arch, there is probably some good and better stuff just around the corner.
