Is it ok if we let other interested parties on other forums know about this poll?

Well, we know only avsim members can only vote. That's the rule

I don't see why not. They will have to register first though. That 'hole' has been plugged for good.

Actually, I wish there were a way to have a poll but disable replies altogether. There's no real need for commentary after all! :biggrin:

So even if they are new members here or are existing members but don't comment that much or haven't in a while, their opinions are valid?

@ n4gix Idle curiosity Bill, will it allow each member to vote only once?:biggrin:

J. R. :ph34r:

I might have been good to have poll options that expanded a bit to better understand the situation, such as:

 

Yes

No

No, but I'd like to in the future if MSFS offers it.

No, I tried it and it wasn't for me

I was thinking about this, and doing the same. Yes/no. Then close it to comments. Lol

I might vote if comments were closed

Once only. I've also edited the poll options such that everyone can click on the little person icon to see who's voted.

I didn't author the poll, but do understand the intention to assess the current status, not some nebulous "future" status. In any event, it's far too late to alter the choices as it would unfairly skew the results.

Oh I understand, it's just not really capturing the "why".

For instance, I don't currently use any simulator, VR or not...  Even an option to articulate that might capture more useful data.  If I were using one though, I would be using XP with VR, so I chose "yes".

 

I think many people have been pulled back out of the woods from "no longer simming" by the MSFS announcement.  Oh well

This poll needs an option that offers "sometimes... or if the mood strikes... during specific phases of flight like takeoff and approach"
For the lot of us that use VR on a regular basis, it's not as black and white as a yes or no question.

Maybe it would have been clearer to simply ask "Do you own VR equipment?" Yes or No

Simple questions are the best polls. It gets too muddy when you dont include the why and tally that up.  But inevitably I'm waiting for someone to say its rigged. This is simple. Flightsims and VR. not trying to compare all Steam users to who in avsim that uses Flight sim on a Tuesday

Do you have a Rift S/HP Reverb/Pimax 5k and are able to use pixel-density at 1.5, at least? I get very good clarity with those settings.

Me too. I don´t buy this "low resolution, can´t read gauges" speech anymore, At 1.6 on a Rift S there´s no need to lean forward  to be able to read them.

As far as the Steam issues and reporting on hardware is concerned... I've had SteamVR running and when it polled me on my hardware, it still said, "No VR Headset detected." So... I don't know how statistically interesting it is, but Steam itself is underreporting how many people have VR headsets attached.
