VR Bomber Action
« on: February 17, 2024, 11:50:28 PM »
Just some quick cuts from today's frame 3.  Enjoy the slow and sometimes action packed life of a bomber pilot  :rolleyes:

I enjoy that in VR, you need to look down to look through the bomb sight.  Not gonna lie, though: shooting the guns is way harder than in pancake mode.

I was nervous just watching the film. 

Sweet bomber action!
Time's fun when you're having flies.

Yes I will share it around.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

That was great!   What application were you using that allowed a 2nd notepad to pop up in VR?  That looked handy

OpenKneeboard: https://openkneeboard.com

If you have a supported tablet, you can also write directly on the virtual kneeboard using a stylus.  I use an ancient Wacom tablet strapped to my leg, and it makes taking/reviewing notes in VR very easy - I highly recommend it!

You have my permission to share the video wherever you like, or to remix it if you want.

It's a bit hectic switching between guns, especially in VR because of the sudden changes in orientation, but the B-17 cockpit feels more spacious, and it makes the bombardier position feel a lot more visceral!   This was the first time I tried bombing in VR. I didn't think I'd like it as much as on a normal screen, but I've changed my mind. I was pleasantly surprised!
