Thanks for the tip off @bobcat999. After purchasing both of the Bell 206 its seems appropriate to have a new play ground to use them in. I had bought https://flightsim.to/product/hogwarts-express-steam-train-for-msfs-featuring-custom-animations-sounds-smoke-effects from the same developer previously which added a nice touch to the Highlands, impressed with his work. Edit. It is great in VR, plenty of challenging Helo ports to land on. No popping on the impressive terraforming like some (or all) of the google port overs. Only just scratched the surface of this addon, there is more to it than just the impressive falls. If you have helicopters I reckon you should get this. @Oliver OoiI see the bungee jumper is taking liberties!

(Copied from another thread.) I have had the Flyinside version for a short while and after reading these posts I bought the Cowan version. For VR simmers get the Cowan, better FPS Due to the looser tolerance on the model edges in the cabin, though the model is not as polished as the FI version the FPS increase helps for tree trimming sorties, and is not a deal breaker. Also I appreciate having passengers which you get with the Cowan and plenty of other toys to bolt on, nothing worse for me than flying a ghost ship. Another big plus for the Cowan is the camera views within VR, so many developers do not bother doing this, which really is taking a P Bob (UK peeps may remember that!) The only downside is the Asobo flight model, I get a constant pitch up attitude which will not trim out, this I found with the 407 previous.

It keeps me honest I suppose , no hands off flying for a quick drag.

Just had my first flight and this is therapy for me in VR, after a long stretch at work . Flying over the French Alps listening to some French darlings from the inbuilt radio.. chilled. Subtle wind noise at 20 knots wind, frequent topping up on the burners which do sound realistic.. The view point in VR is atop of the mans shoulder, but if you pan you become detached from the neck. This with the Hotas, turning with the HMD al l where it should be ! I tried with companion balloons too, all look the part but in the evening light the slave balloons had no burners activating to see, I believe. Again for me HPG along with their H145 you get ingenuity along with quality. £14 for the experience to see the world at leisure, bargain.

If I knew how to upload a screen grab for this site I would for the settings in FS2020 in VR, but I don't! Basically I have everything on Ultra to high, the shadows and reflections at mid range. When using the Open XR tool kit allow the sim to settle for a few seconds when you transfer into VR and then all will be good. If you still get stuttering dial back on LOD, that is CPU not GPU Make sure you have a fan nearby though, if your rig pushes out all the graphical goodness your face will eventually cook! Being a resident of the UK excessive heat is rare, so its a benefit for me, California I guess can be a bit hotter!. In the Windows MIXED REALITY PORTAL my settings are-- Resolution = Best Quality, the other upscaling option creates 2 separate panels in the headset for whatever reasons for me. The frame rate set at LET WINDOWS DECIDE.

@Rob G I am surprised the Quest 2 is still being classed as suitable for this sim, it maybe ok on a base level, but that's it,. The data it receives gets compressed then upscaled I believe for its in-built GPU, this then causes the stutters, black slides etc etc. It doesn't matter what GPU you have on your PC, it is the headset is choking it up forcing you to dial back the settings in the sim or suffer stutters etc. . I have both the Quest 2 with expensive link cable and the Reverb G2 , both are/ have been running on a AMD 5700 XT. Get the Reverb G2, far superior than the Quest for the visuals and sound and comfort!, otherwise you will have to dial back on the settings for the sim for any chance for the Quest to work satisfactorily . I have retired the Quest, ok for the games but not DCS or FS2020. Also recommend installing the Open XR toolkit for the G2.

JF Arrows and Hawk, all are top notch in all aspects for me. AH Spitfire 1 was good but not impressed with the latest patch, sounds are now weak to the previous and also its bugged on VSI. Flying Iron Spitfire IX for adding drama from the exhaust stack, other devs please take note. 😁 Milviz PC6 & C310 H145 the most feature rich module and a team who continue to push the boundaries. And a shout out for the Carenado Waco YM5, a pig to take off and land, but looks and sounds gorgeous.

Hi Fielder , try Active spatial sound in the options menu. I was desperate to juice up the Beech 18 too and found it better with that active in my Reverb G2. Not perfect, but better 😀

It replicates the head movement within the sim giving you a more realistic feel of the G forces you would encounter IRL. Though be warned, it is a bit more difficult clicking the switches with the mouse due to the up, down, side to side motions you will encounter, hence my comment of mapping more buttons on my X52. But this does add to the immersion big time.

My favourite was the screaming when my X52 became unplugged while in VR and I hurtled down to the mountain side, a nice touch from FSR.

its nice to be reminded of how good FS Realistic was in XP11 in VR. Now its here in FS and it is the cherry on this delicious FS cake. Mount Cook in NZ skimming the peaks, up and down, side to side, squeaks and bangs... awesome. Going to have to map my Nav buttons now using this, the mouse has got suddenly drunk. A must have in VR if you haven't got it.

I have her in X Plane too and totally agree, FS2020 needs blessing with that majestic howl. Though Asobo will need to sort out the replay function! Play. .repeat etc etc! I think Dean at DC designs might have helped get this rolling with the Concorde being a delta wing , I hope so.

I flew one of these as a birthday treat some years back, it felt too me on how a Spitfire would be, it was finger tip light on the controls. A must have for me is the mighty Vulcan (where is it Just Flight?) and an airport mod to include the car alarms concerto... This always brings a tear to my eyes. Also her forebear the Lancaster.

You have done a lot of work in this project already, a masterpiece in the making I would say! I thought it flew well, no autopilot to be used for this baby from me 😁. The view from the blisters is an added bonus along with the sounds internally and externally . I have had the pleasure of seeing a PBY in the UK some years ago and this sounds real. Though I have found a bug which causes the sim to hang / crash in VR using the forward quick view (to look at the instruments clearer). Looking forward to the updates.
