October 10, 20196 yr This thread has been corrupted somehow. The first poster is now "Thac" and not "AUjeffk", presumably causing the thread author to be erroneously shown as "Thac" too. Does anyone else see this or is it just me? And it looks like my previous post (pointing out the author swap) was deleted.

Nice attempt though at being provocative. So.... delayed until the end of this year? Screen door is largely unnoticeable with modern headsets (the newer 2019 headsets) Pimax 8k X Specs: 2x 4K displays ( 3840 x 2160 per eye) at native 4k rendering resolution each, running at 75 FPS (but they are trying to get it up to 80) The challenge is more on the side of the software developers (and GPU manufacturers) to be able to match that potential. The "current tech" is much more capable than it was in 2016.
October 10, 20196 yr Personally, as a real world pilot, I will never buy or even try a flight sim that does not have VR native to it. The problem is that the UI is still in its infancy as to the use of your hands. We fly with yoke/stick and pedals and other controls are secondary, but vital all the same. I can fly a fast jet with HOTAS, but a PA28 will need the fuel tap changing at some point... I like the idea of hand tracking that Facebook/Oculus are working on, as much as the Iron Dome prototype eye tracking and varifocus lines of development. The problem for any SIM developer, and Microsoft is no different, is the implementation of hand movement and controls. You have to get it right. Time is the key here. Go too soon and you lose out on emerging tech. Difficult problem. Mark Harris. Aged 54. P3D, & DCS mostly. DofReality P6 platform partially customised and waiting for parts.
