Can't we just get rid of the canopy frames or make 'em transparent?

The current canopies look good but it's like having one eye and a post for a neck.

You mean something à la Xtreme racing with semi transparent canopy frames ?

That's why they made Track IR.

Sandman wait untill 3D headmounted displays come down in price, then you can move your vision around them just like in a real plane.

We can only wish for the day when an online flight sim supports VR goggles.

If trackir works, shouldnt vr work too? All it does is combine trackir to a software based 3D display on the headset. AH is already 3D so it should be just a combination of two existing technologies - trackir and 3D display glasses.

Right?

I think the only thing setting us back is still the price. Shutter glasses are cheaper but cause headaches.

I have to agree, it's way too "arcadey"

Then between the two lamey stuff, I choose what we have now.

How about a compromise and make it something that can be enabled or not by the user?

Cool... can I get a plane like Wonder Woman flew? (the one in the comics... not the SILLY jet one)
