Overload

Is anyone at all concerned about the limited parking at the venue? The park and ride options don't look great, plus a 15 minute walk from the nearest bus stop, not ideal if the weather is inclement? I'm staying at the village hotel Saturday, but won't be there early enough to get the courtesy bus, plus it's 1st come, 1st served, no guarantee of a seat? I thought about bring my cycle with me, it's only 1,5 miles away, but the junction on the route from the hotel doesn't look at all bike friendly? Google Earth shows quite a lot of parking and concrete around the Aerospace building, but maybe that's not available to the public?

I understand that most large aircraft do a data dump to the company after landing, for many reasons, but including to monitor unsafe practices such as unstabilised approaches and heavy landings. That being the case, why would the pilots continue knowing that even if they successfully managed to stop it on the runway, they may well have to account for their actions? Could be that the operator Amazon uses doesn't work that way, but I'd be surprised?

I'm going, both days. Stopping at the Village Hotel, just a mile away from the exhibition. Anyone else stopping there? Eugene

Yes, skimmed it! So it was all included in the $300?

Just anecdotal evidence from me, but I started with the HP reverb G2, then Varjo Aero, then a Crystal light, then Crystal super OLED, each one was a significant improvement for me, although I also improved my PC/Graphics card spec as well along the way. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Dream Air is the same as the Super, just smaller and lighter? I generally fly an hour or so, so the extra cost just for comfort, but no visual quality, isn't worth it for me. The only disappointment was Crystal super wide swappable engine. The lower quality to account for the extra pixels didn't really cut it for me, after all, the whole point of the VR headset is you can move your head, so I prefer the narrower field of view, with better quality. But I know for some field of view is everything. Got one going spare if someone needs it! But every upgrade was worth it, in my opinion.

What about water, electricity, toilets, showers and drainage, a lot more to a small living space than the panels that make it? I'm not trying to bad mouth the initiative, but interested how the whole thing works?

This app gets pretty close to what you want, and its free, take a look here https://www.touchdownfx.com/ Although it's primarily a touchdown analysis tool - it has a landing replay function - simple and easy to use. Works brilliantly, just one press of a button plays back the last couple of minutes of the landing can be shortened if you wish, takes you straight back into the sim to review your efforts. I use Chaseplane and VR, I can cycle through all the normal and cinematic views whilst the replay plays - it's free, and is brilliant. I purchased previous versions of FCR, but always gave up on it, just too complicated for me, I took a look at the new manual, available without a purchase, and the 38 pages of instructions put me off. I'm getting too old for complicated stuff!

There's an App called FlyingCalmly, that shows enroute turbulence. They've got a website, flyingcalmly.com might do the trick!

Last Friday, near Bournemouth UK. "The wife of an electric unicycle rider who died in a crash on a dual carriageway said he was the "kindest and most caring person I have ever met". Benjamin Franklin Wells-Lane, 46, died on Friday after the crash on Wessex Way, between the Bournemouth West Roundabout and the Richmond Hill Roundabout at about 16:00 BST. Originally from the United States, he moved with his wife to Poole in January 2025 after they married in July 2024. Dorset Police said no one has been arrested following the accident."

I like these olden days restored videos, but the emphasis is mostly cars, roads and driving, not many people in them.

The autoland doesn't work for me, noticed it didn't work for AvAngel either. I end up going round and round in a holding pattern on the final approach. Is there a trick to get it working, or just the luck of the draw?

Installed it yesterday, and agree, works fine - no issues - surprised they flagged at as not recommended in VR, could be losing sales! Yesterday was the last day of the free download for 2020 purchasers, "Lucky" I saw your post! Many Thanks

Thanks for that, the website said not recommended for VR due known limitations - so I took them at their word, and have never tried it. Anything it's useful to know, before I give it a go? An issues?

Thanks, been happening to me for years, assumed it was just a quirk, but now it's fixed, excellent!

I have it, but unfortunately doesn't work in VR, also true of Chaseplane, so no good for me.
