Anybody thinking about VR....

I agree after 3 yrs in VR DCS is the main reason I use it . One day wanted to use my 4k monitors and ir tracking and harder for me if I do not use VR and also air combat knife fights around 3 to 4 hundred yards are not a problem at all. I can see aircraft just fine with textures and even the pilot strapped in. The emersion factor is something like being straped in the cockpit. At a distance of about 3 miles I can pick out the aircraft good enough. I have invested in the Pimax 5K+ and will be a step up in res and also adjustable FOV. With future updates to eyetracking etc it should take some of the load off of the GPU. Its just not possible to go back to 2d screens. Long live VR

I think Mr SharpeXB gets a lot of pleasure trying to wind VR users up. I used to think that perhaps he was trying to help people save some money by not giving VR a try, but now I dont think that at all.

Not just VR . He does the same in trainer threads and civil aircraft threads , to name two .

It’s called a “discussion forum” for a reason. Discuss...

I’ll cease discussing if y’all stop quoting me :smilewink:

A TrackIR isn’t usually mapped 1:1 although there is a settting for that. 1:1 wouldn’t be very useful for a flight sim. Not sure what that could be used for but it does exist. It’s probably for mouse emulation.

I think TrackIR was developed so disabled people could use a computer "mouse". Back in the late 90s.

Yeah that seems right. Mouse emulation.

2 outa 3 he's not wrong :music_whistling:

But I'm not into telling people how to play the game.

Thanks for your perspective!

As an older guy and simming since 1985 and upgrading every few years to maintain systems currency - I just sprung for the SO+ and hope it gives me a similar impression as yours. It is to arrive March 12 or so.

 

 

I will be reading through these threads to determine just exactly what I will need to install to make it work the best it can. So much good info here but I will have to search through it bit by bit.

 

 

 

One of my issues is visual and I require eye-glasses. I know there are optical solutions available but I'm a bit anxious to determine if there will be issues.

I also require lenses, I would say that is heavily headshape dependent... But you may need some additional padding for the lenses if you get them.. I put some additional foam under my vr lens cover padding just above the lenses which made a huge difference to comfort levels

I just play with glasses on, but not every glasses will fit every headset.
