Bro and I having some fun with an "other sim".

[Bruv119]

tried VR for the first time last week and was left speechless at the Spitfire cockpit in DCS.   

will have to give AH a bash too when time allows.

It is quite nicely done.  The benefit of being the CEO's favorite because he owns one.

I hear the Mossie at night can be mesmerizing. 



I like the BF-109 K4.

The graphics are mind blowing in dcs

VR in AH is a blast too..better as you can still use your stick views in vr helping us with stiff older necks..

There're apps to give you an offset view on command for VR. Adds an extra 45, 90, or whatever degree offset (configurable) while you press and hold a button. Turn your head to the left looking at the wing, press the button, now you're looking straight back. Release the button, now you're looking at the wing again.

I don't use VR but I think this is it.

There's another by the same guy for OpenXR games called XRNeckSafer. It's more polished than VRNeckSafer working more like TIR does. Thing to remember is--the apps aren't interchangeable. VRNeckSafer ONLY works with SteamVR, XRNeckSafer ONLY works with native OpenXR games (DCS is one of those) or OpenComposite which "tricks" Steam games into using OpenXR although OpenComposite isn't compatible with every game out there. Unfortunately, AH isn't compatible with that. I've used VRNeckSafer with AH but something happened with an update somewhere along the line that messed it up. Haven't messed with AH in a while so havne't figured out what it was.

Necksafer isn't required for AH because the hat switches work by default in AH.

Curious what you mean by 'working more like TIR does'? I've never used TIR. Tried to use OpenComposite with IL2 once but it didn't work straight away and I didn't troubleshoot much.

TrackIR allows you to add a curve to each of the 6 axes. Looks like XRnecksafer allows the same. An example could be linear motion through every axis up to 90 degrees or specific distance from center. Beyond that you get 2 degrees for 1 in the next 10 degrees, then 4 to 1 for the next 10, etc...

I would think that would be no more disorienting than an immediate switch to a rear view or whatever.

I used to use VR in AH2 like that.  It worked well and was not disorientating at all. I did pester HT for it in AH3s native VR support but he said no.

AcesHigh has a superior way to make films, but I tried a bit for this one
