Oldtimer review on coming back

[The Fugitive]

Thinking of track IR. What you think Eagler ?

TrakIR is good, VR is better, MUCH better.

Not goin there. Im 1800 in now. Another buck and a half is doable

I found TrackIR to be a significant improvement over hat switch use, but the change in game experience when using VR is almost indescribable.  My jaw stayed on the floor for a full 10 minutes when I first tried it.

Add another buck and a half to that first buck and a half and you have VR   

[Eagler]

Most of us went from hat switch only to trackir which improves 2d tracking greatly

VR expands the experience into 3d so you get a much better feel where you are in the actual space which in an a2a sim can be incredible

It makes it very hard if not impossible to go back to a monitor for me...even a LG 34UC79G-B 34-Inch 21:9 Curved UltraWide IPS Gaming Monitor with 144Hz Refresh Rate

It is really hard to convey the experience with just words.   Everything we say about it is true, but still doesn't describe it well enough.

It's like the difference between watching the Rose Bowl at home on New Year's Day on a 22" TV, or actually being right there on the field with the players as the game is played.

This is exactly it. After putting some VR film into the Scenario promo, I look at it and think wow that looks cool, but it's still nothing like having the headset on.

VR is flipping amazing, a huge step up in immersion!

[oboe]

One of things so amazing about VR is how canopy frames no longer 'block' your view.  We used to have to set our head position carefully in each view for each plane to minimize any interference from the canopy bracing.   With TrackIR, you can change your head elevation to try to see around the bracing, but with VR it's absolutely natural and amazing how your mind processes minimal head movements to see 'around' the braces.   It's just exactly like real life.  No more blind spots.

This is why I need to out together some bomber instructional videos . . .

[Dichotomy]

Dichotomy at my very best I was average.  SA is coming around. Reversals are coming around, but I can't hit sh*t.
Even an assist once in awhile. ....would be nice.

Very frustrating. But it's fun when I find the fight. I shoot my clip of bullets, miss everything I shoot at, do the pilot thingy and sometimes survive.

As long as it's a fight.

Flew a bomber mission today. I dozed off...

Last bomber mission for me..

I was almost overcome with excitement..

The tool sheds are safe when I'm around. Come to think of it, so are the enemy planes.

because....

I CAN'T HIT SH*T !!!!!

When I get back we can go to the TA together and you can use me for target practice my friend.  Did my taxes today.  Looks like my return might be a bit expedited.  Just depends on if one of these two computers can handle it while I save up for my gaming rig.  I'll let you know.

I found when this when trying VR but this changed for me when I changed the IDP .... Made a huge difference with the brain feel

[Eagler]

Play jet island on steamvr for a bit in vr and a game as smooth as ah will not bother you

3 years and 3 months of vr experience and I still feel jet Island after playing a bit and taking the headset off..

Like fishing offshore if you don't have sea legs...you will feel it after for a bit
