A follow-up comment. The video holds up as one that is truly unique and enjoyable. This video is my favourite VR video of all time. 10/10. Extremely well done and displays that one does not need a $3500.00 rig and expensive VR unit to fly a study sim. Brilliant and educational!
I'd forgotten this is even up there, thanks! As a follow up I've since earned many ratings, became a an instructor and then joined an airline. I still practice in VR to this day for new types, new routes, new airports and instrument work (HP Reverb and MSFS 2020 now). The technology is better than ever and incredibly close to real life :)
can you make a vid about how you can set this up and all the things you need I play on pc by the way if there is already a video like this someone pls leave a Linke to it under this?
I'm somewhat like you. I played simulators in the past .... like in the 90's. Now I'm a private pilot, and I have a setup similar to yours (probably 1/4 the cost...Thrushmaster Stick, throttle, pedals, etc, homemade cockpit/racing sim), except a gaming chair without the butt-kicker, and a Oculus Quest 2 as my headset, but I'm blown away at how realistic things have become over the years. With aviation fuel prices high at the moment, and crappy weather, I'm able to get my flying fix and actually feel like I got experience that feels like I could put it in my log book. Last October, I finished a Vans RV-8 that I'm about to fly for the first time next week. This is my second experimental build (helped my dad build/finish a RV-7 in 2014) and flight simulators give me good tail-dragger practice. Great video!
I came here to see what DCS Huey with Oculus Rift can do and I was treated to a tutorial that sounds like its made by "The Hoodie, Bill Belichick" Go Patriots LOL.
