Is this sound pack compatible with the new pro for v4.x?

As someone who has used the Oculus Rift for the past month or so in P3D, it truly is incredible. Pulling away from the runway I start to actually feel im being lifted, yet im sitting in an office chair. I will say the only gripe I have is the resolution. However the dev of Fly-inside added a quick zoom mode which helps tremendously. Quick button tap to zoom in to the FMC for instance, make a change and back out again. It's something that needs to be experienced to be believed. Haven't messed with the leap motion controllers. Supposedly you can use your hands to flip switches and turn knobs. Still waiting for XP support though. Side note - I do have a handfull of Go Flight modules. At first its a little weird feeling your way around but eventually I guess the muscle memory kicks in you start naturally going to where you physically have the modules. Although for someone who hasn't invested in to modules, its very easy to look around and scroll with the mouse.

Sweet - Ill tweak this a bit. It was set to a heading deviation of 5 and course of 1.5. Ill bump these up a bit and see how she goes now.

This morning flying from MCO to IAH I kept getting a "You are off course message" I can't for the life of me figure out why as I was headed to the correct waypoint (or at least I thought so). Attached is a screen shot.

I'd say keep in mind due to licensing issues some 3rd party devs require a separate purchase to use their AC in P3D. As mentioned above the FSX version of the NGX will not work, you will need to repurchase the P3D version.

I've had bad experiences with Razer in the past, I steer clear of them - but thats just me. Sounds promising though.

So I've heard. I tried it with fly inside but some people say it doesn't work. Certainly didn't work for me. Ill have to try this on other titles though.

Yea, Its very easy to use with mouse so I don't really see a reason to pop for the leap motion. If there was some sort of glove with feedback that'd be a different story. As a side note - I just realized what the import window option is - and its incredible! I can import my P2ATC window and throw it on the seat next to me and just zoom in when needed to see the map, or if I forget my phraseology. The dev for fly inside really made an incredible piece of software.

For me it was no less smooth than without VR. If anything it was actually more smooth? Made possible I'm sure by the asynchronous time warp feature. What kind of FPS hit for the leap motion? I was considering but I don't think I'd want to lose any FPS over it. Its still easy enough to zoom in and middle mouse scroll to setup everything I'd need. Pretty much makes any goflight modules I have obsolete now - aside from throttles I'd say.

I had the smoothest landing of my FS career last night in to MCO with the 737 NGX because of that level of depth you now have... On takeoff I almost felt g force change when I started rotated away from the runway. Almost a feeling of falling backward I guess. It's really unreal. I saw this post and now I know why it didn't seem to work lol.

So I just got my Rift and decided to fire up P3D with Flyinside and all I can say is wow. With fly inside you can override the native resolution of the rift which makes the sim a little clearer with little to no performance hit. I am running this on a 4790k, 16GB RAM and only a single 970 GTX. (I have two for SLI but VR has had some issues with SLI for me.) Avg FPS for those wondering is around 20-25, which is about my norm in P3D. Its not 100% smooth, but then again neither was P3D in non VR, but the level of immersion is incredible. You truly are transported to a life size cockpit, i nearly found myself reaching for switches and buttons with my hands. Its something to be experienced for sure. I wonder if P3D had native support for VR if it would improve readability of gauges and such. For instance using the Rift with project cars, I can view gauges on the dash a little clearer than in P3D.

I don't know if I'm doing something right now but I haven't really had any issues with ATC losing me since 2.0.1.0. At best due to some crosswinds I've had a few "off course" messages that were nearly immediately followed by "Resume own navi" messages.

After running through the fresh install I'm all set! Thanks again.

Ah ok that makes sense. Ill run through that tonight. Thanks again!

I just upgraded to 2.0.1.0 and still have the same issue. Do I need a full uninstall or can I delete the current database file and then run the upgrade?
