Re: MS Flight Simulator

I usually turn the wind off too.. I have a hard enough time landing a Cessna. :P I was surprised by comments like this but realized why some of you may have difficulty. The other day I was lazy and flew in pancake mode rather than in VR on the PC version. Night and day difference in spatial awarene...

Re: MS Flight Simulator

Has anyone flied over their homes? Does your home look accurate? I found my house quite easily... It didn't look accurate in terms of design. They had simply put a pre-designed house there...but the scale and size were very accurate compared to other houses on the street, so you could tell that the...

Re: MS Flight Simulator

I was disappointed last night when I got home. I had downloaded it over night to be ready, only to find I had another 27 gb update to download. I thought that was strange being a digital download. I would have thought it would be ready to go. I have the PC version. The updates are always huge, and ...

Re: Racing Season 2021 (Spoiler Alert)

It was at least entertaining, and it kept me from fast forwarding the usual mid-race procession. But hey, it got Max a little more of a lead. Personally I would like to really see the weekend mixed up. Have the "real" race followed by a sprint race in reverse finish order. Make the top drivers work ...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

So after today's announcement, anyone interested in the Steam Deck? I'll pass because of the price and I really don't play much portable games anymore. I also have a pretty beefy gaming PC. With the current shortages of the PS5 and Series consoles it'll be interesting to see how well it sells. Supp...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

[But you won't be able to play MSFS in VR on the Xbox, right? Honestly, I bailed on consoles after the PS3/Xbox 360 generation and haven't looked back. MSFS 2020 is not a lure for me to get back on that bandwagon. I have MSFS on PC in VR, and going 2D would be a downgrade. The immersion I get from V...

New update and DLC for AMS2. The USA expansion pack with Long Beach, Daytona, and Laguna Seca road courses and a nice number of cars. Long Beach has been a favorite track for years and underrepresented in sims. I fell in love with it in F355 Challenge on the Dreamcast and arcade, and while the curre...

Azerbaijan this weekend. Any bets on where Mazepin will crash? Seems like the left into the old city is perfectly set up for him to lose it. And daddy Mazepin says Mother Russia wants Lil Niki to do his mandatory one year of military service. F1 should be so lucky.

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Had a bit of a binge tonight after months away from the wheel. Tested some Assetto Corsa mods, having finally got round to modding it, then had a blast around Silverstone in its sequel before trying KartKraft. Having read what James said, I thought, naively, that I might be able to flatten the lear...

Re: MS Flight Simulator

Got my Reverb G2 up and running. MSFS looks great. Much better than the Rift CV1 and not a big performance drop. Would love to play right now and fly around the revamped UK, but Live is buggered up right now. On another note, Assetto Corsa Competizione actually looks good with the G2. On my Rift it ...

I got to try MSFS on my new rig. I'm only able to consistently get 30FPS on 4K Ultra. I've seen some videos of people hitting nearly 60FPS in 4K Ultra. It's still smooth but I would have like to hit the 60FPS mark especially since i'm just messing around flying where I live. Specs are HP Omen i9-10...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Has anyone tried RaceRoom? Some of the cars and tracks are interesting, especially at the Black Friday pricing. Also, if you decide to get R3E, if you purchase a chunk of VRP from their US store, you can get an even bigger discount. For example, 10,000 VRP is discounted 35%, so $65 instead of $100....

I'm much closer to spending money on an Oculus 2 than a console. For me it is the HP Reverb G2 that is calling. Ha.
