Which is your favorite Aircraft in VR?
joby33y replied to JJ_'s topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Totally agree. I’m not at all into flying heli’s in 2D….but in VR it’s a totally different & very enjoyable experience (with good pedals for controlling yaw)😀. I bought the Cowan 500, & a few minutes later was landing on the BofA tower helipad in downtown LA. Absolutely breathtaking! -
Alright... please don't laugh at me

Agree. I use Foreflight on iPad, but the concept (Little navmap) is the same. Use the tool to aid your situational awareness. If GPS helps, then go for it. Getting in to a 45 for downwind entry is a VFR maneuver, and that can be really immersive with VR. Whatever you do, have fun with it! Keep learning. -
Couldn’t agree more. I still have my Quest 2, and it’s great for other experiences (have you tried Richie’s plank experience?), but direct connection to the video card (DP) with the G2 is absolutely flawless for FS. I was flying one of the bush trips last week. Dropped down to 100 feet over the Danube river, looked outside & saw trees & etc whizzing by, smooth as silk. No frame counter needed.

When you sign up for 'RexAxis', use the same email you used when purchasing from Orbx (as the OP mentioned above). As soon as I created the account, it prompted to add four products to my profile. Afterward, clicking on "My products" lists your collection of Rex products, the current version number, and your serial code. Its never easy to find serial numbers at Orbx, but I do like the Orbx central tool for keeping things organized. Looks like Rex is updating a lot of their add-ons. I'm curious to see the winter textures for MSFS after this new release.

Try this : remove the rubber nosepiece on the G2…it is easily removed by gently pulling straight out. Then move your Foreflight / iPad closer to your yoke. You’ll find that you can ‘peek’ through the bottom of the headset & see your plates/map/etc without the hassle of actually removing the headset. TIP: you can easily re-affix the piece back to the G2 if you don’t care for the result. I have been doing this for years (starting with Oculus Rift) & I find it works as a good compromise between immersion & being able to see the iPad while practicing IFR procedures. The benefit is that it forces you to become ‘expert’ with Foreflight (rather than fumbling around in menus), which is a critical skill if you’re using it in real IFR.

For those that haven’t yet braved the flight up into the mountains and into Lukla VNLK, I highly recommend you take the time & do it. The enroute scenery & airport eye candy that Asobo included is fantastic, and the flight / approach requires your due diligence as a pilot. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.

If someone could remind me on how to set it up to be able to use rudder pedals for ground steering / tiller, I’d appreciate it. I’m reinstalling into 5.4 and I use FSUIPC6. & do not want to taxi / steer with Aileron axis.

RD Shade tip : While adjusting settings I discovered that the tweak for ‘cockpit brightness’ works great - but its the lower numbers that increase the brightness, not higher. I applied a 0.8 to this tweak and both FS Labs & PMDG cockpits just popped. If that was in the manual, I probably missed it. But being able to apply & preview shader mods while in the Sim (without having to restart it to see the effects) is what sold me on this tool. I’m using Envtex, ASP3D, ASCA & RD Shade on P3D 5.4. Excellent results & I’m just getting started.

Unable to control the amount of traffic / number of active flight plans ….no go. I just don’t get why they deprecated that feature two releases ago.

….unless you’re PMDG. 😁

When you reboot your PC, please try unplugging the G2 first, then exit the WMR portal, then shut down & restart the PC. (Just unplugging the power block is fine; no need to futz around with displayport etc). Allow the PC to restart, then plug in the G2. Wait for WMR home portal to start, then ‘clear environment settings’ and recalibrate your room ‘position’. Did you hear static noise when the portal started up & plays the soundbyte? If so, you may want to check for Win updates or re-install the WMR /G2 drivers. Remove / disable add-ons that you may recently have added to MSFS, Then try it & see if this solves the issue. The WMR portal has recently been updated by MS - I am on Win 11.
