New Helicopter sim by Microprose: Gunship Origins

Jane’s USNF, ATF or IAF in VR would be awesome. I’d love to see something with a vast array of historical aircraft and campaigns, with semi accurate pits. By semi accurate, I mean close enough to do justice to the eccentricities of the actual aircraft, but don’t have to be a complete rivet count.

I am with Troll and a VR convert… I couldn’t go back now. For me, more than immersion it is the depth perception I gain with a binocular image, especially with racing sims.

ha this is what I mean by I don’t even want to try it! I know I’d get sucked in.

I’d be sorely tempted though by a strike fighters vr type situation.

I’m a die hard VR kool-aid drinker. It’s a must have for me now.

Don’t get me wrong, I love playing retro or legacy sims. But anything new? VR is a must have for a simulator.

I feel like a VR hummingbird- I dab in it- enjoy it, then go back to 2D for easiness/controls accessibility, then VR again for specific stuff…

For me, VR has completely destroyed 2D simming. It just doesn’t cut it for me anymore.

I got to test fly the internal build (still pretty early in development), it captures the vibe of the original GS2000 pretty well. Already fun as hell.

Nice!

I like it!

A bit of a slideshow with lots of smoke and explosions, but it’s Alpha.

Any talk of VR..?

VR is in the roadmap. Jamon (dev) has already tested Quest 3 on the internal build and was pleasently surprised of how fun it was.

That looks fun.

What was that simcade/simlight helicopter sim you played a couple of years ago, it was from the late 90’s or early 00’s and you installed a bunch of mods to get it to work properly + new campaigns, I think? been trying to come up with it but I keep drawing a blank.

Ah I think you might be right!

Awesome! Instabuy!

Found the thread this reminded me off in case anyone else is also interested. \

I always missed EECH - but i believe the latest mods broke the dynamic campaigns by stopping ground units from moving. Such a pity
