Of course we are!  Not as often as we once flew, the press of other events being what it is, but we're still here.

I just re-upped a few months ago, before that I was last on around Tour 24.  The most notable difference are the numbers in the MA are waaaaay down from those of yesteryear.  However, what brings back good memories and good times are the organized events which are a helluva a lot of fun and well worth it.

I have been thin king about it also. I need an upgrade and would like to try VR but don't have a clue where to start.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.—Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953

Still peruse the boards occasionally.   Someday I'll be back.

Eagler is pretty informed on them,... but a lot of others too. I'm not one of them :(

VR in AH is light in hardware required compared to il2 or dcs

A 1070 with an i5 is all you need cpu wise ... I  use the original vive pro..one for sale under $150 in ebay yesterday..

VR is worth it if you love ww2 a2a imo

If you're upgrading, then shoot for the moon. Get a 4090 and build a case around it.2TB NvME drive. Corsair makes a 4TB NvME drive that has a 3,340 per milisec transfer rate, that is ridiculously fast.

Oculus Quest series are the easiest VR headsets to hook up and use. Plus, they have storage on them for VR games sold by Oculus. I play Golf+ and poker stars on my headset. And you can go down to your local Walmart and pick you one up.
