VR (WMR) very soon!

YoYo, what's flying in VR like? Do you just wear a headset and use your flight controls as normal? What VR setup do you recommend?

Here you have a little more about my opinion about VR (in P3D corner): https://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...lly-wow-for-me!) . I fly VR only from 2019 October in principle (excpet MSFS for sure). Its a totaly new kind of "home" flying adventure. I don't like a flat, boring monitor now . About setup you have in my signature, and here how it looks (what I did for VR flying, most comabt planes / sims). It's quite important to keep everything within reach. I use HP Reverb G1 revision2 (it offers the best resolution on the market and good performance but it isnt still monitor quality, maybe next 2 years..., but it's already acceptable to me). You can wait for G2 model (this Autumn, resolution will be the same plus few improvements). Here is my review (in Polish, you can use translate Google tool) http://yoyosims.pl/hp-reverb-wmr-recenzja . I hope it helps.

Thanks for that, YoYo! That's a nice setup, will have to look into this more.

I'd like to further clean up the stickies section, so I need opinions. Would new threads be better for future MS updates, or would it be more confusing than having them all in one long thread?

[YoYo]

I think the one will enough ... in the other situation we will have many threads as we will have patches (so perhaps a lot ) and will be hard to follow it (some will write in the old thread, some will start a new ect). Its my sentence.

[Tom Clayton]

You have a point, but my biggest concern is having one long mega-thread with information that will become irrelevant, obsolete or even conflicting as time goes on. I want to make it easy for visitors to find what they're looking for without having to sift through 50+ pages of information in one thread.* Besides, staff members have the ability to take a reply to one thread and move them out as a new thread.

*Mega-threads such as the screenshots thread are different because they don't contain anything that would likely be confusing to readers as time progresses.

IMHO (but who am I?) A couple of threads would be clean and helpful:

- updates and patches
- fixes and tweaks
- ...

Just a thought!

Remember - Today will be released the new MSFS patch - Update 5 (according to plan).

[mgr]

So far the plan ;-)

We encountered some issues related to the autopilot across various planes right before we were set to release Update 5. We decided to take some extra time to address the issues to ensure that everyone will enjoy this update. It’s going to take a few days, but it is close! Thank you for your patience.

Update 5 is ready for downlaod!

For me this version is a regression: with FSX aircrafts port-over MSFS, no more mouse rectangles !!! as the 1.7.x version

I have worked during 3 weeks for upgrade my Cessna Tibush, Taildragger and Hydra in order to propose a release for this week-end and and everything has to be redone. On theses aircrafts ONLY CTRL+E can function and you can interact with your mouse.

Many having CTDs with USB peripherals plugged in, big losses in FPS being reported for those that can run the sim and now this? It just keeps getting better and better. I was literally in the middle of testing an FSX legacy import when I was forced to start the upgrade. I may never get to finish if this mouse rectangle issue isn't refixed again. Jeez.

ya know what I'd like?? I'd like my throttles to move when i push them forward, not three seconds later, not after I've moved them half way no. I want the throttles to move when I push them. I dont think thats a lot to ask.

Same problem here. I had to do a reboot, default all game settings, then go back and set up everything again. Seemed to work for about 5 minutes, then CTD. Oh well. The cloud reflections on water looked pretty nice, maybe a bit overdone, but still nice. The sim now takes forever to load.

Hotfix for MSFS later today!

[FlyingsCool]

I wonder if it'll have a fix for the Live Weather. It got the snow right for us, but the wind was increased by a factor of 10 and was off by 90 degrees from actual, and ATIS said it was heavy rain, not snow (even though it showed light snow in the sim). Hmmm.

It looked cool in the windsocks though
And made for some fun crosswind landings (37 knots as opposed to 4 (I imagine it was supposed to be 3.7))
Pretty proud of myself for flying in a 37 knot direct crosswind in a 152! (I'm imagining it wasn't actually 37 knots in the sim.. maybe? The socks were straight out.)

[Bomber_12th]

Just announced today, the next free World Update, titled World Update II: United States, will be available Tuesday, November 24th.
