Just got home via mini cab... I have follow set up and into flight sims. 980ti, core i7 5620, 16gb, warthog HOTAS (dms button is busted all else fine) t500 + maximum performance pedals. obutto rev currently not able to open the boxes, some kind of deer in the headlights thing going on. Most want to play dcs, elite, see what all the fuss is about. going to go out and get a bottle of whiskey like jack Daniels. currently thinking to open the rift first, Edit: just want to do a thread to pass on a little of how awesome or not this is, dk2 was already pretty impressive. updates soon :-)

I received my Rift yesterday, and it felt like something was missing. The whiskey, thanks for the tip.

Very nice! You are going to love the Rift in DCS. It really does put you in the cockpit.
I also have had fun with FSX using the FlyInside app and a LeapMotion controller.

I'm of the opinion that naked chicks beat a guy on a skyscraper any day of the week. But I won't post a video of that 'cos it's against the rules. Seriously though, it's strange that no company is thinking on using these things for pr0n, isn't it?
When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".
