Yeah if all you want VR for is sims, then WMR is fine. If you like doing other stuff in VR too they are far from the best choice.

Quest2 is only $299, that's less than a lot of people drop on yokes throttles and pedals.

Blue On Blue posted:As much as I love vr and flight sims. I think it still needs a way to “see” your real hotas in the virtual world What I did for Elite was make a pdf with a pic of my hotas and all the binds labeled, and just had that as a virtual window in my cockpit until muscle memory took over. Made it easy to use as a reference without needing to pull the headset off.

Yeah, take the headset off at the first signs of unease or you'll just make things worse. Ginger chews work great to combat the nausea as well.

Someone upthread posted a guide to VR settings for MSFS2020 I think, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone have a link?

Finally got around to trying out VR in MSFS2020, and holy poo poo is it amazing. Performance wasn't too bad either, after following the settings guide linked earlier. Only problem is that now I'm feeling the urge to pick a favorite plane and reproduce the cockpit 1:1 with working physical switches and controls. The slight disconnect from seeing a yoke while using a CH Fighterstick and Throttle was much more noticeable than when playing flatscreen. Speaking of planes, did the version on XBOX game pass remove access to most of them? I only had two to choose from.

Imaginary Baron posted:You have to manually download the other planes. I think it’s in a content manager page in game. Interesting, thanks. I think after getting a taste of VR I'm going to actually buy the full game, is there a best storefront to buy from? Seems like there was some fuckery if you bought the game pass version and then let your sub lapse.

I've been having a problem with landmarks not loading in until I'm almost on top of them. A few days ago I flew to Devil's tower, and it didn't show up in game at all until I was about 200 feet away from flying into the side of it. Last night after the update I flew over the Cliffs of Dover, and they were featureless green blobs until I was within a few hundred feet again. Not sure if there is a data or cache setting I'm missing, but this is making it much less fun to check out landmarks.

This is maybe the worst time in history to build a gaming pc, so double your budget or hold off on that idea.

I still use a CH fighterstick, pro throttle and pedals and physically they are all tanks and feel great still but the software is terrible. You can use the default windows joystick software to calibrate though, so you only would need that for macros and such.

We were a Commodore family growing up, and I spent a ton of time on the pre-MS Flight Sim2.0 on the C64. Later it was Chuck Yeager and Red Baron on an Amiga500.

As luck would have it an A500 that I ordered from the UK back in May (and has spent the subsequent months lost in mail hell in New Jersey) is supposedly on the truck for delivery today. Assuming it actually survived the journey, I'll have to load up a rom of F18 (and Chuck Yeager, Red Baron, Desert Strike, etc.)

I think the price hike coincides with the new Meta login, so if you buy one this week you should be able to wait a week or so and then skip the FB account all together.

I'd say just wait for the 4000 series, 4080 should be out by the end of the year and you made it this long on your 5700xt. It might be hard to get, but nowhere near as bad as the 3000 series was.

I've got a 3080ti and saw big improvements in frametimes moving from a 9700k to a 12700k, it was more bottlenecked than I thought. 4090 looks to be a beast of a card, but I agree that your money is much better spent on a new mb/cpu.

Budget is important to know too, because FS2020 will happily use every scrap of GPU and CPU power you throw at it. Targeting 1080p 60fps is a much different proposition than targeting 4k 120 or VR.

You guys are making it really hard to resist upgrading to a 7800x3d. Knew I should have held out another year when moving from a 9700k to the 12700k last Feb.

I'm kicking around the idea of moving on from my CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle, and since almost everything I do now is GA I really am leaning towards a yoke. Is there something better than the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo throttle on the horizon? It's a lot of change to drop on a whim. Also, how is the trim wheel on the throttle in FS2020? That's one thing I'm hoping for a major improvement on from what I've got, and I'm reading mixed reviews on that.

Replaced my old CH Fighterstick/Throttle/Pedals and home built pvc frame with a bit of an upgrade this past weekend: Honeycomb Alpha yoke, used Bravo Throttle from a goon, and a new Logitech G Pro rudder on a Wheel Stand Pro HC frame. I pretty much only fly in VR, but I'm finding myself wanting to just use a monitor so I can look at the controllers more. I'm worried this is what leads to full cockpit setups in the future.

Fuzzie Dunlop posted:Any more trip reports from Brew Barons? Thinking of picking it up this weekend. Worth getting now? Not worth it til more features are built out? How's the flying? I'm enjoying it so far, but it seems that the brewery aspect is a much bigger part of the game than flying. I haven't gotten far enough for any combat though, so that balance might change later on. Flying mechanics are definitely on the arcadey side of things, but it's pretty fun. I don't regret picking it up.
