![]() ![]() I do find it difficult to "touch" the controls in the cockpit, so if you want to actually learn the cockpit layout (rather than mapping a bunch of stuff to your keyboard and/or other input devices) you may want to pause the game while you select things. VR is a little disorienting and uncomfortable for long time periods and just having head tracking with a monitor does get you part of the way there. I will say that I think I might dust the TrackIR off and use it again at some point. The feeling of looking around in the cockpit is a nice improvement even over my old standby of TrackIR, which I used to use more frequently. Many were out-of-state, so the plane allowed him to get to a few appointments and back home without a hotel stay - or. I've written at length about this in the past, but he owned his company and sold to manufacturing plants. It sounds like this might be getting me closer? So far I've held off on buying any VR-related non-sense because I have yet to find something that it would improve the experience of enough to warrant spending money on. Everything would be much more natural if I could control what I was looking at by. At least half of the "controlling" in that game involves looking at specific places/in specific directions. You've got a panel full of instruments in front of you and an array of windows to look out of. I was impressed with the latest, but if there ever was a use for VR, it's this. ![]() He used the 1980s version of Flight Simulator to get licensed for IFR flying. My Dad owned his company and flew a plane for work. I'm not a pilot nor interested in becoming one. > VR is in my opinion absolutely groundbreaking in flight simulation. Works great on recent Macbooks with the M1 processor.įirst, thanks for the info - you answered my question, too. Easiest way to find out if it's worth your money. ![]() lots of refinement in flight models, audio, ATC, weather engine, etc. the rendering is gorgeous in comparison X-plane 12 is a pretty big upgrade if you were using or familiar with x-plane 11: is getting ready with an xplane-12 release completely free. And there are some nice free add-ons that will get you closer to the MS experience but probably not all the way. orbx has scenery for both sims and I suspect things look pretty close with that. Most people will never notice but it's there to appreciate for those that can appreciate these things.Īnd with the right scenery, it doesn't look half bad either. Otherwise, X-plane 12 is pretty compelling as well and it probably wins in the flight model department in terms of just modeling a lot of weird and niche stuff out of the box. And in fairness, they really upped their game with the weather engine and flight models as well. No shame in that, it's a great way to enjoy a flight sim and MS did an amazing job with it. If you are primarily looking out the window, MS wins because they spend a lot of effort making sure to model the entire world in great detail. ![]()
