Oculus Rift - Will Aces High Support This?

I am shatting mine pantaloons, verily I say, at the mere prospect of being able to fly Aces with these bad boys on.

what does it mean that it is a developer's kit and not intended for consumer sales.

It's a kickstarter project. It's not mass production ready yet (or at least, not produced in mass) they made a limited set for developers.

That's why I haven't got a TrackIR, or three monitors... Kanttori and I visualized this kind of things already about 10 years ago to be the future of PC gaming. Either goggles or a half globe monitor.  :joystick:

I can't wait until they digitize my CH gear.  With this Oculus thingy, I can' just sit there and think my moves.  Then I'll really suck even worser than I already do.  Worser is a word....I've seen it used on the BBS a lot.

:rofl Had to check for that... After my last school years almost thirty years ago I have kept my English "skills" alive by reading this BBS. I must say I've seen many expressions which fight against what I remember being taught back then, but then again, my memory isn't as good as it used to be.  :old:

I understand that for many years, at least since the early 1980's, military flight sims have placed the "player" inside a globe equipped with an array of video projectors, something like this:

Is worser a word?

No. Worse is already the superlative for bad. So you don't need to add an r to it to make it a superlative.
Worse is NOT superlative for bad...Instead it is COMPARATIVE to bad...so it is bad, worse (comparative), worst (superlative)...
Comparative degree is used when you compare two things...and superlative is used when you use it as an absolute expression

While common in the 16th and 17th centuries, worser is now found only in some regional dialects, and is considered nonstandard. 

There you go!

Give it time and it will be available at a decent price and with enough software support to make commercial developers go for it. 

Problem I see is that it might only end up on an XBox or something.
