Don't know how, maybe Aerofly uses SteamVR for both? Ddenn, the author of the Challenger 300, said the Aerofly VR experience with the HTC Vive to be great. I'll try to test the Vive before buying somewhere locally.

Aerofly uses OpenGL like X-Plane. And I've heard that VR is there for both Vive and Oculus. That said the whole sim is still in beta but looks promising. A instant buy with Linux support, but not sure if I ever bother to boot Windows only for this. For VR I might wait for the next Vive update as it's not that cheap.

For joysticks etc. you might need to customize the standard files. Forgot which but it's easy, ask in the FG forum or google.

Remember the Samsung - Apple trial. Was it one trillion? 1000 billions? That's why nobody, apart Meyer, seems to care about patent laws dating from 17 or early 18th century. Because big firms want to keep that wrotten mess. But not only software or US. I've heard that Pilatus had to circumwent 100s of hardware patents for the new PC-24. Keeping all top secret and secure all their little details by patents. And that's in Switzerland. I guess in the US most startups go out of businees because of historic patents.

Would be interesting to see how it's done / source code as he seems to have a different approach now with materials.

Seems this guy was simply enjoying his new video editor features...

Just tried it and my first feedback is: The Linux shell start script doesn't work upon click. But all is fine if you change to the directory in a terminal and copy paste the code without the first line. Then I didn't see a export to X-Plane. Can you export and import the flightplans in the default X-Plane 10 Garmin? What about sid/star? Thanks again for you work.

Great, will try it on Ubuntu in the next days. Many thanks.

Went from 8 to 10 without problems nor improvements. With my GTX770 I get the best performance on Linux (Ubuntu).

Beta's are hardly usable. It's better to have a second demo download from x-plane.com anyway to not ruin your current xp. Never save anything in beta/rc like planemaker etc.

Yes you can copy the files and run the latest updater from x-plane.com over that. Why laptop? Building a custom PC from parts yourself, you get the best performance at lowest price.

Physics Based Rendering is cool but only half the way to real Environment Reflections? LR should support steamVR. In fact I only wait for them to buy a HTC Vive. No word of Vulkan hence they probably stay with OpenGL? Sound update was needed.

What is inaccurate? What did you look into? I remember Austin to have said that this is only one point and he expects more to follow. The us patent system dates from 19th century, don't remember where I read this, but should be true as well.

That's only one point within ~100 or so Meyer will need to defend. Basically the US patent system is rotten dating from the 19th century. Obama wants to help but gets blocked by republicans, lawyers and big companies like MS. They will need to look at EU laws and learn, sooner or later, as it's a threat for us economy.
