It sounds like this tirade is going beyond spamming and into harassment of members, which I hope the Mods will address.

 

There is no VR support of this game and I would suggest, humbly, that the posts be moved to that hardware forum at the bottom of the forum list. Ghosttown and his other screen names can jabber to each other in there at will while keeping this forum on topic.

They are very much planning to make FS 2020 VR-compatible. They are just not sure if they can make it happen by launch. But it will be coming post-launch at the latest. Article below:

I literally just joined this forum but I have to comment that those of you speaking out against VR sound absolutely ridiculous. You think old codgers back in the day didn't say the same crap about PC flight sims? "There's no way you can learn to fly a plane on a computer" or "This is for wannabe pilots". Guess what, you CAN in fact learn all of the fundamentals of flight through a sim. So why would VR be any different? God forbid someone be able to actually interact with a cockpit.

Let me tell you something: I do fly airplanes. Not just ones made of pixels but real aircraft. I also play Flight Simulator X and DCS with actual airline pilots and actual fighter pilots respectively. It took me 4 months to be able to land on a carrier in an F/A-18C Block 20 Hornet. I learned it with an ACTUAL F/A-18C Hornet pilot. He taught me CASE 1 recovery techniques and I got it down eventually. All the while, he's telling me that the VR DCS experience is far superior in immersion, control characteristics, and providing the ability to learn aircraft systems than anything they had in the Navy.

But yeah, booooo VR. Couldn't possibly be a worthwhile tool. It's not like the military is investing millions into VR as a replacement for their full cockpit sims. Nor are hundreds of corporate entities using it for training or thousands considering it. Oh wait...yes...yes they are.

But go ahead and hate on new technology because you spent thousands on building a full cockpit in your house or whatever your setup is. I'll keep on flying with my actual fellow pilots in VR and having a blast.

Anyone have any idea if these are wanted, and if so, how much they're worth? I'm sure it works, but I have no way to test it. Thanks. Dave

I used to have one of these and I loved. I have no idea if I can use it and, given that you can't test it, I'm not sure what a fair offer would be. I will send you a PM to discuss if that works for you?
