I might have misunderstood, but i thought fi xp was out of beta, and that you have to buy a separate key for fi xp?

Yes it's out of beta but I think there is a demo

Same here.

 

Interesting article on possible VR effects.

Their were very interesting articles on cell phones too. We should perhaps dump em all?

I just want VR to mature a little bit more before I make the plunge! :wink:

I don't carry a cell phone myself... don't need one. :smile:

Very excited by the potential of VR but will also wait for next gen tech before investing. A variety of reasons for this but mostly because my rig will be due for upgrade next year and I'll be better placed to spec the components for 2nd gen consumer VR (though I doubt the established names will have anything to market within 18 mths). I suspect the combination of more and better quality VR content, greater competition between manufacturers and further innovation in performance and fidelity of the hardware will see things like tether-less headsets, more naturalist haptic devices and higher resolution available at the same price point as current hardware (possibly less if manufacturing competition is fierce enough - one thing that could influence this would be the ability to use console hardware on desktops).

 

Of course with tech, the best time to buy anything is tomorrow but for me, where I'm soon entering a phase of life where I have a little more time and resource to invest into simming, the opportunity to bypass all the bulk and complexity of sim pit add-ons and enter a fully immersive flight environment sitting on the couch is near perfect timing.
