Really beautiful! Thanks for posting!
I don't fly FS so much but I am waiting anxiously for this one!
Hallo Jan,
Very kind words, and we seem to be in agreement. Yes, I fly DCS with VR too. I used to write flight simulator reviews for the Dutch aviation magazine 'Piloot & Vliegtuig'('Pilot &...
I flew some ultralights and other planes (with a pilot) for real, and I fly mainly DCS. Their Mustang feels so good that I (during landings) feel it is about the same as the real P-51 that I flew in...
This is excellent news! Thanks for sharing, Tom!
I have a Valve VR-set (don't know the specifications; it was installed for me) and although I mainly use it for DCS I think it is fantastic! I second Jmig here (having had a microlight PPL) that VR...
I'm really looking forward to it. I hardly fly FS at the moment but this may do the trick.
I suggest Thrustmaster TPR. Expensive gut good quality and easy to install.
Jan, I only fly with VR. I also have a special seat and a motion platform, and my monitor is set to my right-hand side. I use it only for starting sims etc.
I was indeed referring to my 'real' ultralight, Jan. Unfortunately I never saw aviation films in 3D.
Your post makes excellent sense. I wonder whether in real life you avoided ladders by combining...
I think the issue here is: is the VR effect realistic? As far as I know human depth perception is only very partly determined by the stereo effect. We seem to mostly judge distance bu size (sometimes...
I used to fly ultralights and flew (with a pilot on my side) several planes (the P-51 Mustang twice) and for me the closest thing to real flying is with VR. Are there 'real' pilots reading this...
Yes, Jan, it's called 'Piloot & Vlíegtuig'('Pilot & Airplane') I used to have a flightsim column in it but now I only have a column about 'big' aviation.
Yes, Jan, I have a computer (my old sim computer) for normal computer activities and a dedicated one for simming. It took some time, of course, to heva my simming computer get so old that I could...
Jan, I only fly in VR. My monitor is set up to the right of my computer and I only use it for installing and launching software.
Jan, I can't answer any of your questions but for what it's worth: I have a Valve VR and I am very satisfied with it. I had it installed by a PC expert to get the best results.
Thank you. August, for this elaborate analysis. I have flown exclusively with VR in Il-2 and DCS (I have Microsoft FS but somehow I don't fly in it much) and I can only add three things:
1: It takes...
Very interesting information and observations, jmig! I had small monitors, large monitors and now VR. After having flown gliders, ultralights (solo), single-engined planes and a P-51 (not solo) for...
Thank you Dave!
Congrats, Jankees, and thank you for all your hard work.
This thread shows the recognition that you are entirely entitled to.
Well said, DennyA! I completely agree.
For what it's worth: I am very satisfied with my Thrustmaster Warthog (although it may be better suited for military sims).
This really is excellent news! Your F-104G is one of the reasons I have FS2000.
I cannot say anything for take-offs but I made two landings in a real P-51D and it was very doable (I had about 150 hours in ultralights and some time in, for example, a Tiger Moth, so perhaps that...
As far as I know the first few seconds of an F/A-18 carrier launch are automatic (a launch is, I suppose, easier to standardize than a landing). Only when the plane is safely in the air does the...
