It was great fun and worked pretty well. A weird feeling that we’re both sat in the same aircraft, using VR and you’re in DC and I’m here in Vancouver, BC. Stuff like seeing your head move as you look around, and the arm move the throttle forward was crazy. I know we’ve seen it before on the Gazelle when we did this before, but it still amazes me. We’re living in the future.
It was a bit weird in that I did the noob Win + Home autostart and seemed to get into a different state to you in terms of sync of instruments. I wonder if it was a network thing or just how you manual started and I didn’t?
I can’t believe I forgot the one cardinal rule of flying in as a pair - DON’T PICK A DIFFERENT LOADOUT TO LEAD. lol, I think I had 2 Mk83’s on that thing, when it loaded via F8 - Crew, the C101 almost fell over as the first bomb tacked on.
One thing that was fun was that I got to watch the ordnance fall off the rails - it’s a bit like driving all the time and then being the passenger, you get to see stuff you normally don’t. The bomb sort of lurches back a bit too suddenly as it leaves the aircraft, but that could be the network too.
This happened to me in Rocket League once as well (I forgot that last night). My daughter has a wired connection right up the other end of the house and we use a stupid Powerline adapter for that (internet over electrical wiring) as even wireless repeaters don’t work that well. It gives her a low latency but every few days it just kills the main router I think. I’ve not ever managed to track it down repeatedly. I hate powerline adapters and need to bite the bullet and rip the walls (a long way though) for some Cat6.
So for people looking to try this out, the Hoggit Training Server has lots of free C101-CC’s all ready and set up for pilot1 and pilot2. Great fun.
