Zero.

IF/WHEN someone figures out how to use the forward looking camera to blend the actual cockpit with the virtual sim world wink

......And if/when flight sims get legacy support.
Right now only DCS has support.

VR has a very long road in front of it before it is a good replacement for a high end/high res monitor.

I find it odd that of all places SimHQ would be hesitant for VR support.

Now I know Warthunder is NOT a sim. I get it.

However, the VR experience is absolutely stunning. The difference between flying biplanes, to me-110's or jets is astounding.

The first time I got into a fur ball flying a cr.42 vs a an I-15, it was something I'll remember forever. Craning my neck to judge the angles, watching the condensation streaming off the wingtips in tight turns... In my mind I can feel the G forces in tight turns.

Flyinside for FSX is excellent but I haven't tried it since Oculus went 1.0

Here's my now butchered Obutto Ozone pit after removing the too narrow pedal area to make room to accommodate my new Baur BRD-F3 peals:

Change of direction for my pit. Just waiting for my OR to arrive. Just enough physical buttons and analog controls to find virtually blindfolded

Very clean set up you have there - well done.

Especially love the braided stainless cable to the switch box.

I Like it! Can you show it with the trim and mix lever modules in place? I'm curious where/how they fit.

It's still a WIP but here's what I have so far.
[Linked Image]

Outside view is a 27inch monitor. I have a networked computer running a 22 inch monitor for the gauges behind the panel. Two arduinos, 1 Mega for aircraft specific (F-14 Tomcat), switches, buttons, levers and 1 Leonardo for common simulator functions that I use for other aircraft also, such as landing gear lever, tailhook, parking brake, heading and course encoders.

Thrustmaster Warthog for the controls, the joystick has a 10cm extension from Sahaj, and Saitek Combat pedals to throw the nose around. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I still need to finish labeling the Left and Right vertical panels.

Oh, and another arduino running a radio stack meant to resemble something found in military fighters

Someone told me to post my vid in here. It was currently in RAF Spitties parts thread (as some of the stuff I use, is from him).

I am heading towards a heavy rebuild, so a lot of this is soon to be history.

Happy Simming

I have little skill not to mention almost no budget or space or time but having a immersive game setup has always been a fantasy of mine. Many hours in my youth on the overpriced arcade setups, no more quarters here!

180 degree twin projector screen (8 foot diameter - 300lbs of 2x4's...) The controls/chair area is very early. I barely have the frame mocked up. Oh sorry for the crap cell phone pics taken in the dark...

Parts on hand
HOTAS (2nd hand x45)
USB controller for toggle switches (about 20 or so switches to be used)
Bass shakers for chair
7" and 9" tablets for custom controls with roccat powergrid

To be purchased/DIYed
Full version on simpit technologies warp/blend software
Rudder pedals
Track IR or equiv
Space Beer cooler built into chair...
1000 other things that escape me at moment, damn space beers.

Hello!

I noticed you have used the non-registered version of that warping software, how can I obtain it, and what are the differences between it and the registered version?
