I've ordered a Samsung Odyssey to have readable instruments. Also with Vulkan we should get a nice FPS boost, hopefully in Xplane 10.3.

Stumbled across this, really cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3onW_gSjp2o

Not bad but could use work. I like more the default rain in FSW.

So what's it like? Is this for cockpit builders only?

Thanks. How/where to download the free version?

Microsoft also joined OpenXR: https://www.khronos.org/openxr Looking forward for reviews of Odyssey, Vive Pro, Pimax 8K. Oh well anything, as I'll get later this year a VR device.

Tesla in space is spectacular. But that adds another debris. Even more cool would be to orbit Tesla's roadster around Mars, until a manned mars crew gives it a little boost towards sun where it would burn up.

Looking forward for Linux and Blender support. Thanks.

Personally I don't expect Vulkan before XP12, which is some years away. But we simply don't know when. Have a look here: https://developer.x-plane.com/2016/03/what-vulkan-means-to-developers/

Any estimation on the expected release date? (I'm using Ubuntu)

Installer? ZIP are the best installers for X-Plane.

It's coming thanks to Valve: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=LCA-2018-Steam-VR-HMDs Tony, if it doesn't put you inside the plane, what VR should that be?

So you have permission from Austin to not support Linux or what?

As Ben said Vulkan will be switched on in a year or so, but with those code restructurings we see OpenGL performance improvements before that. I will get a Linux compatible VR once this is done.

Some planes have terrain/water like from sgiercom, some Carenado and others I forgot which.
