Beach,
I went supersonic at treetop level down the main road in Vegas as the sun was setting. This was the M2C landing mission. It was quite the rush and something you would never do in real life unless you wanted to spend some time in jail. The cars, the lights, the buildings… it was fantastic.

Great news! That will save me from investing even more into the Orbx world, because while in XP you can basically get by with some free mesh, some free object libraries, and free airports, the default scenery in P3D is grim. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Orbx, but it is really costly to buy their 3 layers, then add the airports. Looks gorgeous though.
DCS World → Settings → Controls → UI Layer (select aircraft drop down)
Agreed. DCS delivers the best sense of speed during low level flight of an flight sim that I have flown.
Not when you own one of these.

I wonder why Oculus didn’t put a small, low res front facing camera on their headgear with the ability to toggle an inset or something of variable transparency. It would save on the wear and tear of taking off or peeking under my headset when I’m trying to figure out if my VR sim or game has launched or not. And reaching for my personal beer keg (hey…it’s on my Christmas list!)…
Well, now that HTC has done that, Oculus will have to have it in Gen 2
I was booked in for an Oculus demo today, but turned up to find the sample set broken.
At this rate, we’ll be onto the next generation before I get my hands on one

Oculus Rift Store Halloween sale is on now…
I might pick this one up…
Damn that looks terrible. I doubt i’d be worth the harddrive space.
LOL…well, I think the appeal is giving people a somewhat authentic feeling driving experience in VR…from that standpoint it looks like it might be OK. Not DCS level graphics…but probably enough to get the job done…
Hmm, just looks like a cheap cash in, reminds me a lot of the German Simulator Scourge 
Why not try VR in OMSI er ETS2?
I mean…when else am I gonna get to drive a Lambo!
Whoa…look at this setup…! LOL…
driving a real car is way easier than driving race cars or flying planes. I dont’ get the appeal on this one honestly lol.

It looks interesting but in EuroTruckSim2 and AmericanTruckSim I have no patience to wait at virtual lights and I often do some scary stuff to avoid being stuck behind cars…
So in that video all that time waiting at a light or in traffic would probably kill it for me. Will add it to the wishlist and look for it during a future steam sale.
So, I finally got to try ASW… At first I didn’t think it worked. Nothing happened when I changed the Ctrl+KP1/2/3/4 modes. I then disabled the registry entry. Now I saw the difference! Needless to say, I immediately enabled the ASW registry entry again…
I still can’t change modes, and it seems like ASW is stuck in mode 4, which is auto.
FPS is either 90 or 45.
Then I thought I’d check how much I could tax the settings and get away with it…
Turns out, quite a lot!
I turned shadows and mirrors back on and flew downtown Las Vegas. No sweat! I then increased pixel density from 1.6 to 2.5, and it was actually flyable! Although now I could see some judder. And the picture clarity wasn’t that much better than 1.6, so I tried 2.0 and then settled on 1.8. But I’m amazed at how smooth the experience was even at PD 2.5, and that’s on a 980TI…
I wonder if Oculus has any other aces, like ASW, up their sleeves…!?
Your experiences mirror mine @Troll - I can change modes though…I run that Oculus overlay thingy which will show a moving graph of performance and you can definitely see the changes as I hit the modes…

Is that some sort of Oculus diagnostics tool? How do you enable it?
