Interesting how the article says they are using Oculus Quest’s but all the pictures are the Rift 2 I think (apart from a Vive Pro further down).
As an aside, the general rule of journalism is that if you know the subject to any depth then there’s always lots of errors and mistakes - it sort of makes you wonder about things you don’t know about when you read them. ![]()
But…but… VR just isn’t ready for prime time yet…![]()

Quote from the article.
With all this in mind, DCS users can feel even more confident in the game’s fidelity. If it is good enough for A-10 pilots to learn essential skills, it has to be pretty damn good.
Often when I read about something aviation related, I shake my head. When Mrs. Microbiology reads about bacteria and viruses, she shakes her head.
Yes, I have wondered if someone, somewhere, always shake their head, when reading a news article…
Obviously not! ![]()
Considering it started out as a desktop trainer for the USANG A-10A to C conversion, it does make sense. ![]()

Hey, maybe in a few months time I can talk about it…

Don’t know if this is the same video posed here a while back (didn’t watch this one) but they were also using the PontCntrl gizmo. Made sense.
What’s ironic is the article refers to DCS (mutliple times including the title) as a video GAME. The dreaded G word vs S word.
Hoggit fans be like…

Game? Game! ![]()
Showed that YT fan movie (“DCS Fan Move V”…hold on a sec…here again) to a former Eagle Driver last week. He said, and I quote, roughly,“…got me kinda excited there for a minute…”. Without any qualifiers, like, “for a game”, etc.
Think it was the 1v1 part at 2:49. So, even they kinda get it. ![]()
Oh boy… Yeah.
