Sure, it's a scratch-built PC (i7 / 2070 Super) with an HP Reverb, which is a lightweight VR headset. I use a physical yoke (Honeycomb), rudder pedals (Thrustmaster), and throttle quandrant (Saitek), but everything else in the cockpit can be manipulated with the VR controllers that come with the headset.
You just interact with the cockpit as you normally would, pressing buttons, pulling levers, and twisting knobs.
In the virtual cockpit, there is a tablet app that displays all of your maps/charts/checklists/reference materials. Works pretty slick.
- mrguyorama 7y agoHow is the resolution/screen door effect of that headset? I use an original Vive with VTOL VR and other games and while they are still very fun and serviceable, I just built a new PC so I could purchase an Index when they go back on sale. I'm hoping the bump in resolution is as significant as I've heard
- iguanayou 7y agoThe resolution is good enough to read all of the gauges easily. It won't look as nice as a good monitor, but the immersion more than makes up for it. I do notice a screen door with the Reverb. Not bad, but it's there.
