A fun experience with VR

Featured Replies

Some of you probably know the following, but if you don’t, you may find what’s below very useful.

If you ever want to show your friends, relatives, children, better half or worse half what VR is all about and what it feels like, there is a very easy way to demonstrate how amazing it is. Simply record your flight with this free flight recorder, and then replay it while your guests are wearing the VR headset. All you need to do is load MSFS, start it in any airport and have engines running in the same airplane/heli when the recording was made.

No need to touch any controls, they can simply sit and enjoy the flight in full glorious VR and they can also look around them as if they were the ones flying. You can also change the time of day and/or the weather to let them experience the flight under different conditions.

Before this dawned on me, I would pause a flight, give my wife the headset and let her look around with the sim paused, in other words, a still image....hardly a way to wow anyone. But add motion and your guests will either panic, throw up or have the time of their life depending on their age and constitution.

Anyway, fun to try even for yourself if you want to relive a memorable flight, or any part of it. The only caveat is that the recorder does not record the actual time or weather conditions. You can set that to whatever you want, but while this is useful if you want a different experience, you may miss some extraordinary weather and cloud conditions that were there during the actual flight. Enjoy!
