Thanks! If I like VR (when my G2 shows up) then I am also going to get one of these https://www.yawvr.com to go with it, as they look super good! 

Yeah mate,  this has been around for a while now but always been unaffordable for me.  I think it would be an awesome combination with VR.  Can someone point me in the direction of Sugar Daddys Anon LOL

Cheers mate

Marsman,

You have raised a really good point here and one I had not even thought of thinking about. I wonder if software can sort it all out?

Thanks for raising this and I am keen to follow any sort of follow up. I am also following the other yawvr thread.

I believe it’s called motion compensation, and certain software eliminates it on certain headsets. However you can disable the yaw part of it for now leaving the pitch and roll still working fine with no ill effects. 

Ian,

You give us some hope .... still looking for sugar daddies LOL

Haha

I know some people are working on the motion compensation for the G2 via steam, but unfortunately nothing for WMR yet.

I am looking at the Quest VR headset, probably the only affordable one for me  and it has the added bonus of compatibility for hand tracking. Hand tracking, for me, is an essential part of VR.

I’m yet to figure that out. I’ve memorised every single switch, lever and button on my alpha and bravo yoke over the last 24 hours for when I’m ‘operating blind’. VR Will kind of make my class echo device redundant, and I still need a way to view navigraph charts. I can control pilot2atc via my voice. So, lots  still to figure out. Assuming of course I actually like VR once this G2 arrives....!

I cannot, for the life of me, imagine anything that is "not to like" about VR.  For me it is the way of flight simming future, providing it becomes a little more affordable. I believe that even this aspect is inevitable as adoption of VR becomes more widespread. I am so looking forward to MSFS getting more complex aircraft, better adaption (allegedly) of VR and me getting a headset LOL

Could it get any better than P3Dv6 with MSFS graphics?

I used VR in PS4 and I fell physically ill. I suffered Vertigo and stomach upset.  Initially I thought my stomach upset was due to food poisoning. Nope.. It turned out it was the VR. Every time I used the VR, I had food poisoning. LOL. Thought I'll get over it.. Did not improve by use. Got worse and worse. Not everyone could use VR.

Manny, 

I feel for you mate, I am adopting the "it ain't gonna happen to me" attitude, that the younger among us appear to adopt. Add to that a modicum of "I hope like H.ll it doesn't happen to me

Have you tried it in PC flight simming?  I do not know if that would make any difference though.

Regards

Tony

I have exactly the same need/wish as the original posting -- a window for steam instruments, and a window for external views (I fly only classic/vintage/antique planes).  AirManager and PanelBuilder don't solve the issue.  MSFS needs to able to spawn extra windows in which you place whatever views you want.  These could be on a single monitor, or on multiple monitors.  A sample of this is in the RealFight RC simulator.  This is the advantage of a windows based operating system (why they call it "Windows").  Where can I post this suggested improvement where the developers will consider it?  I also fly VR, but except for looking around (and 3D), it is not as good for simulating flight as monitors (in fact it has a plethora of "cons").
