I wish LM gives an option to disable this spinning cloud or give true 3d clouds. using oculus rift, this concept gives away and you do not feel as if you are going through the clouds.It starts showing its ugly face in oculus. You just feel as if the curtains of clouds are opening in front of you instead of going through it. Totally kills the immersion when flying IFR..

What is the point of all this discussion or debate as some of you may call it? I mean , apart from venting your frustration, what will it achieve?

GTX 1080 😆

It is super awesome. The biggest thing that i noticed was I did not had to adjust my viewpoint ,which i would normally do, using a monitor.The HGS would not be perfectly aligned.With flyinside, the HGS just feels perfect in view. And with the downward eye movement you can even see your PFD and ND . It will blow you away.If you are in it for flying (and not for eye candy) VR is for you. If you want eye candy then you will have to wait another 3-4 years before the resolution catches up.But with the airliners,you can pretty much see the dials etc. You might need a little help here and there with the binocular mode of flyinside software. But just sitting in the cockpit , at the gate, will give you the height perception.I bet you would be screaming like a kid...

Yes it works..

To be honest, you really don't need much when you are flying airliners.. Pretty much mesh, custom airports, active sky, rex textures.. Good enough to give you all the glory of airliner flying. You won't notice much of orbx global textures and all while coming in for approach and landing. And it will save you the headache of OOMs...

Welcome to p3d... And enjoy the 737..

The p3d cloud model is itself broken at places . .some of the clouds are just plain 2d sprites..the cloud rotation issue becomes very obvious when using oculus rift..you are going through the overcast and all you see is clouds rotating to left and right..breaks the whole immersion..not sure how the light effect would be modeled with these rotating clouds..

Poor windows got the blame 😝

i have the oculus..you can pretty much fly your 737/777 with the oculus rift. You can even fly the GA aircrafts.You need a little help with the dials..The binocular mode of flyinside offers help here..But its very immersive..For the first time, after flying a GA in a thunderstorm, I did feel that i made a mistake of taking off....its that immersive.. Here is my review which i wrote the day i tried oculus.. http://forum.flyinside-fsx.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2136

I doubt if they would share it.

Any issues? Config will totally depends on your system config

Some screenies from me

I use zoom 1.0

No man..And I dont think its Active Sky issue. But I agree with you, this rotating cloud becomes all the more exaggerated with oculus rift.. It causes disorientation and dizziness when these clouds rotate in front of you.It just feels like a series of curtains of clouds opening in front of you .It kills the realism... Pankaj

I saw them with my own eyes up in the sky.i am saying real clouds. Not the ones in the sim.i am saying the real clouds were equally horrible. I am not saying that AS16 clouds are horrible. Because I saw the same clouds set which people call horrible in real life too. Yes they were not pretty. Cotton balls snugged up against each other. So active sky texture sets are also good even though some may perceive them as horrible. But the real ones also work the same way. They are not always pretty

Today I myself saw the same set of clouds in California. It looked horrible and active sky came to mind.. But hey they were natural. They were not good looking. But nature does not produce pretty clouds always. So for me active sky produced realistic clouds compared to what I saw today. They didn't look pretty, neither in sim nor in real world

No you can use fly inside without having leap motion too..I would recommend it.

What do you use it with? Flyinside??

Yippie

Not sure what DRM breaking are you talking about? I am pretty much able to fly PMDG with rift..even a little peeping in helps with programming the FMC..

Haha good one

Keep checking best buy everyday 😊..thats what the guy told me..in a couple of weeks i found 5 in stock..got hold of it..if you call them they will keep telling you its out of stock..just ask one if them to look into the system Welcome to the other side

Yes with a little peeping in you can read the fms..honestly its not as bad as one would think.you can pretty much look at the instruments and figure out..For FMS you will need a little peek in.. Good to see people enjoying the immersion..with airlines the bland scenery doesnt hold a place.you can complete your flight and enjoy the feelings in your stomach when you make a steep left turn...
