Just had time for a quick free flight session in VR. FWIW, I haven’t been too impressed with the WW2 3D pits in DCS. They seemed like they got a little better with each successive release, the FW190 being my favorite until now. Not that they were bad. Just less attention to detail than what we are now accustomed.
But the Spit looks like it was developed with VR in mind and is a wonderful thing to experience. Likewise, the Merlin sounds are quite immersive and when under Oculus hood, it’s not a difficult thing to get lost in the shear joy of flying.
Furthermore, the FM seems a little less like it’s on rails than the earlier offerings, say the Mustang for instance, but I’ve obviously never flown a Spitfire (few have), and it would be great to hear a review from an actual Spit pilot. The Fighter Collection at Duxford has one, do they not? The roll rate seems about right for a WW2 era aircraft in that it requires some rudder applied to get the most out of the ailerons.
Looking forward to many hours submerged in this module.
Edit: BTW, the gunsight does not like the default ASW setting, so be ready to switch out of that mode if in VR. CTL-2 and 3 modes seem to work best. Still tweaking
