Nah, it wouldn't work with the Quest controllers so I had to use an old xbox controller, which has a stuck stick making it annoying to fly around.

Get VTOL. It works beautifully with all VR controllers. It's the second best rated VR game in Steam for a reason but the learning curve can be steep. The great thing about it is they now have dual cockpit training aircraft, or at least I have via some bought DLC. You can go in the front and I can sit in the back and show you how everything works. It's so good in MP, even the single player missions. On sale now - £16 is a bargain.

Fine. And it looks better in VR than it does pancake. It's usually the other way around. Because it's built for VR the cockpit controls are so good. Again, like Alyx it feels very tactile. You'll be flicking switches and prodding buttons with ease and it's so well designed but that doesn't mean it's an arcade game. It sits somewhere in the golden spot between arcade and sim, but more sim.




The mod campaigns are as good as the default game and there's plenty do to. In MP it is top tier VR.

Does it fly realistically? If so, I think I might accidentally spunk £3k on a VR capable PC very shortly. Is my Q3 alright for PCVR in general?

ooooooooh if there’s a proper combat based flight sim I’m in.

There's a ton of DCS vids here.

Looks insanely realistic right down to the vapour trails caused by atmospheric conditions.

People that are into it are really into it by all accounts. Not sure what kind of controller setup you need.

VTOL on the other hand is fairly simple although the advanced planes are quite a bit harder apparently. Half the fun of the game in SP is figuring the plane out. It's so nice to control them in VR tho. Here's on of the most basic starting aircraft.

Build a fuck off PC. Upgrade it when you need and play some great Steam games. Plus you can use a GPU (Nvidia) to do some serious machine learning.

Just build one! It's easy and Gurt will give you all the advice you need.

Oh I can do that I’m sure. Haven’t built one since Athlon days but it can’t have changed much..!!

Built mine a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. I’d say I saved money but I just spent the difference on better quality parts.

Nah, that sounds terrible.

I was sceptical but found this mod the opposite of terrible. It’s a comfy and flexible head strap system regardless. In a dimly lit room, you don’t notice the periphery as focus is forward.

I’ve ordered the Bobo S3, the new Q3 one with the built in fan to keep me cool in the hottest gaming moments. No idea when it’s coming, it’s the battery more than anything else.

It’s crapped out on me once at the very end of a Dungeons of Eternity run, so I’m keen to keep it topped up. I have a good usb-c power bank, so I did manage the other day playing Demeo with Wooks with that in my pocket.

I wish Valve would hurry up with the Index 2. Nobody will hear anything and then a month before release they'll announce it.
