VTOL VR

I’m perfectly happy using the VR controller for my stick hand. My arm rests nicely on the arm of my chair and it’s quite intuitive. It would make no sense to have to put down the VR controller to operate a physical stick and then have to pick it up again to operate all the cockpit buttons switches and knobs.

My throttle hand is a different story. I have to push my physical throttle aside so that I don’t bang my VR controller into it. Then I find the arm of my chair interfering with operating the virtual throttle and it’s not so intuitive. I definitely wouldn’t object to HOT implementation. :slight_smile:

Just slide your chair 3 feet away from your desk. Once VTOL is loaded there is nothing on the desk needed to enjoy the experience. If you use pedals, slide them aft as well.

I use my pedals to play. It makes it so much better to land the AV42C. I love that he includes that integration

Ya, but the arm of my chair still gets in the way. I feel a chair modification coming on. :slight_smile: Still wouldn’t mind hand on throttle implementation though … would be cool to map some of those Warthog switches.

Leap motion did that as well and Oculus has added hand tracking for the Quest.
In a few years, it will be mainstream… :slight_smile:

This a challenge with using VR controllers that operate in real space.
And it’s why PointCtrl works so well in DCS.

That aircraft that looks like the F-15 sure can carry a tremendous amount of weaponry on what looked like a heck of a lot of stations. Nice!

I recently found this F-45A campaign that has you operating from an oil platform. I found the missions fun to fly, reasonably well designed and challenging but doable.

talking to my self in the other thread, so will ask directly…

@Sryan, what VR headset you use, and whats your specs pls? Feel free to post in the linked thread ( not want to detour this thread), tia :slight_smile:

@BeachAV8R, did you already tested your G2 with your laptop? whats your impressions? Also pls feel free to post in the above linked thread, tia

744

I have used my G2 with my laptop and thought it did pretty good. The laptop has an RTX2070 in it…whereas my desktop is a 2080ti, so there is a bit of a difference. I"d be happy to try to get some FPS numbers if you’d like.

745

I can answer quickly that I am not running anything impressive :slight_smile: The original Rift with a 1080Ti. Both were very kind gifts from a fellow mudspike virtual pilot. I took these screenshots with VTOL’s nifty 4K screenshot feature, so that is not very representative of what I see through the lenses. VTOL VR dus run silky smooth on it, though! 90FPS in lighter missions and 45 in more complicated ones (ASW makes sure 45 FPS looks very smooth)

746

Definitely, some fps nums from XP and VTOL on the laptop would be great.
