I saw a very vivid dream about piloting an F-22 Raptor, I wish VR was even remotely as good as that
@eal I'm suitably impressed by VR nowadays.
I frankly suck at all sorts of fighter piloting games, but the immersion is quite impressive already. (At least for me, who never sat in a real pilot seat)
@eal I've tried the Star Wars VR thing, and thought that very nicely done. Didn't get nauseated at all.But yes, it's still pretty pixelated, although it doesn't feel that way when things are moving.
Eagle Flight provides one with a virtual beak, that helps too with the nausea
@JollyOrc Star Wars VR and virtual beaks sound pretty cool tho
@eal the eagle game is visibly unrealistic in many ways, but it is internally consistent, so the immersion doesn't suffer. They also subtly shadow parts of the screen when you fly corners, to direct your attention and preempt nausea.
The Star Wars thing is dead on true to the material, although a bit short.
@JollyOrc All VR I've tried is pixelated and makes me feel nauseous in an instant.
aaaand I'm a huge flightsim nerd, but I really prefer flying WWII era planes over modern ones. Computer-guided jet planes just feel so cold and... boring. The single best immersion thing in flightsims is head tracking, a TrackIR was the best toy I got last year. For now, I don't want the 3D, it feels better this way.
