Just wondering if a fix is coming soon for the Tempest with no virtual throttle or stick in cockpit? Also are there any more plans for more controllable surfaces in the virtual cockpit such such flaps, landing gear, Bomb release or such?? Maybe a couple simple ones can be implemented.

To be honest, your best bet is to use keyboard and joystick. I have the Rift S and loathe the vr controls use in game, so I went back to using the controls I had before vr. It takes some getting used to with the headset on, but it isn't impossible to do.

  Same here. While it is cool to be able to grab the controls, not having any force feedback was not a good experience and my X-52 has many more buttons to map things to so I'm not hunting for the keyboard so much.

I think the Tempest's 3D model is 20 years old and the final from AH1, never fear I'm sure it's soon to be updated.

We will not be adding controls to the current tempest. It is the last model that needs to be updated. Until that happens there will not be any changes to it.

I hope the Tempest model is fixed soon would love get out there and dominate in that thing but I've been flying with my virtual controllers for over a year now I will never fly without, between my pedals the buttkicker VR and the VR headset it's totally immersive, I Don't Need force feedback back when I feel like I am in the plane I also have up to 20 different buttons I can set with my Oculus touch controllers the S controllers are missing a few, recently I put the order in for the YAW VR motion simulator which will advance the immersion Factor by 10,  let's just hope I can get the thing to work..

HiTech,

Thanks for acknowledging the Tempest model! I just posted in the Wishlist forum earlier today on that topic. It's been an early fave plane in real-life and AH, and with my soon-to-be shift to VR I'm really looking forward to the immersion factor in this puppy! Thanks again for status.
