rweaves6 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I haven’t heard any talk or mention of VR for this upcoming module. Even with the new Yak52 that’s being developed, there was a special mention of the VR cockpit in the last update. Can we get an update on what we can expect with the VR cockpit in F18 Early Access release? Will it be fully developed and optimized (like the F5)?

SCU Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Just want to throw it out here, the videos from E3 on Wags' Youtube channel have all the players that are trying out the F/A-18 play using VR headsets, and it seems it's already significantly optimized in those videos. HOTAS: Thrustmaster Warthog PC: it's much better now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear that. You would think it would be geared towards VR but I just haven’t heard anything so it made me wonder. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieuie Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Glad to hear that. You would think it would be geared towards VR but I just haven’t heard anything so it made me wonder. Well it does say virtual reality support on the key features on the pre-purchase page but nothing more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precog Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I wouldn't sorry. Wags loves VR so I'm sure it will be awesome Check out my 'real world' video series [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rweaves6 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Well I just saw the new mini update showing the cockpit lighting, which was obviously posted to respond to my question :) This thing is gonna be unfreekingly beautiful in VR.

Fri13 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Except Pimax can’t even do 4K so don’t count on 8K!PIMAX 8K X does. It has two 4K panels in it. PIMAX 8K is just a 1440 panels. Both takes full HD and upscale to native resolution. -- I usually post from my phone so please excuse any typos, inappropriate punctuation and capitalization, missing words and general lack of cohesion and sense in my posts..... i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

ram0506 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) PIMAX 8K X does. It has two 4K panels in it. PIMAX 8K is just a 1440 panels. Both takes full HD and upscale to native resolution. Pimax 8k and Pimax 8k X have both the same two 4k (horizontal resolution) panels. Difference is, that the 8k upscales a 1440 signal to 4k and the Pimax 8k X has a native 4k input signal and doesn`t need to upscale. That`s why the X-version is more demanding.

Mr_sukebe Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I can't help but think that the Pimax discussion should be held in another thread. Ref the F18, I'm sure I read that it should also include some special headup display. Does that mean that we'll get something displayed on the visor of the pilot, in addition to the normal display? If so, bet that would look amazing in VR.

I don`t think so. But that will come with the implementation of the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) later. I can`t tell what is displayed there, maybe it`s just a circle for aiming, like in the DCS Mig-29 or Su-27.

pii Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Glad to hear that. You would think it would be geared towards VR but I just haven’t heard anything so it made me wonder. I'm guessing the VR is built into the DCS World graphic engine, since every module I have, and I have most, going back to Black Shark, work in VR from day one. But I could be wrong :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can`t tell what is displayed there, maybe it`s just a circle for aiming, like in the DCS Mig-29 or Su-27. The JHMCS can give you pretty much everything the HUD does and has a few declutter options.
