This is RIDICULOUS in the most awesome way!! I seen the new gearboxes ya got on twitch and OLAY COW you're dang near doing the real thing!!!
Thanks b80... It feels pretty real for sure, except the G-Force. Working on Motion Compensation now so should be even better soon. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Fantastic video Mark. It's made me appreciate how much power these things can produce. That surge on takeoff/landing looked incredible. I've noticed that you have your keyboard on the frame too. What a great idea. Cheers.
Thanks Steve, yes love the keyboard on there... it works well and not too weird to type on even at that angle. I absolutely love the Carrier Launches and Traps... so cool to experience. You need to try the cold start and then taxi and hook to the cat, the little motions from all that are very immersive. I'm glad you are enjoying your H2 and can't wait to see more videos with it on your channel!
Wow. I’m speechless. That looks like so much fun!!!!
Thanks for the view McFreddie... It is, feels more like the real thing than it does a video game for sure!!!
Nice rig and slick low-level.
Thanks, I got as low as 10 feet at one point which was a little lower than I planned... but hey didn't hit the water so no harm, no foul. Appreciate the comment!
Fantastic video, what a feeling and what power! Looks so immersive and so much fun. I've ordered the H3 with SFU and am patiently waiting delivery. Thanks for sharing this video, always lovely to see you enjoying your hobby!
Hey Manic, for some reason this comment didn't appear on my notifications, but I saw it on my dashboard tonight! Congrats on your H3, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do my H6. Such an awesome experience for sure. As always, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
@@GYGOtv What is that trackpad, looks perfect for simming! does the 2 finger drag work well on dials in MSFS/ DCS?
@@manic_miner YES IT WORKS GREAT, feels kind of like you are hitting the buttons in the cockpit. The 2 finger drag DOES work well with dials... I love it. Here is a link for you if you are interested. Perixx PERIPAD Wired USB Touchpad amzn.to/3vB5dTT
this must be a dream one day one day I will have a sim like this great vid ;)
A dream come true for sure! When I was younger I always wanted something like this, but they cost $10,000 and more. Thankful to DOF for making something affordable for us average people! Thanks for the view and comment.
Dude, this looks awesome. The range of motion on that platform is huge! I would almost install seatbelts on that, seeing the landing. 😆
Ya, and that was with the old gearboxes before I did the SFU upgrade!!! check out this short clip of me in a flat spin that shows how much it moves now! Thanks for the comment and the view! www.twitch.tv/videos/1598729571
@@GYGOtv That was funny lol
@@surfman88 Thanks, yep and really showcases the movement improvement from the new gearboxes. Thanks for watching!
Now I know what I'm saving for, I can still become a fighter jet pilot. A dream that I still have to fulfill, after all, I'm no longer the youngest. Thanks for the video. I remember it from the Amiga 500 back then, where I constantly had these problems landing on the aircraft carrier, but at some point I flew the F15 in my sleep and knew pretty much all of the machine's functions. Missions were no longer a problem.
Welcome, nice to have a fellow Amiga Pilot as a viewer! I can tell you the carrier is much harder in DCS then it was back "in the day" on the Amiga. ALSO, they just released the F-15, so you can relive that as well. It really is an amazing experience and a dream come true for me personally. Just last night I was flying around Abu Dhabi, bounced over to the Tanker for some mid-air refueling... boogied down to the carrier and landed (on my third attempt this time), had the jet parked on the deck just in time to watch an awesome sunset with the cockpit up, engines off and the sound of the sea splashing off the ship. Was incredible. Let me know if you have any questions I can help you with... there are lots of videos on the channel as well. Also, stay tuned for new DOF Reality videos, I'll have a discount code in them to save you a few bucks. Thanks for the comment and good luck on your journey.
I love the video excellent flying, excellent commentary. I'm former Navy I was stationed on the USS Enterprise back in 1987. I noticed when you were doing rolling movements, there wasn't much roll on your rig. Pitching was good though.
First, thank you for your service Luke, and thanks for the comment. This video was shot with the old gearboxes, with the new ones the roll actually "feels" pretty good in the sim. It's funny because what you see, feels like a lot more movement in VR. It all comes together for an awesome experience.
I was there in 89, a Freshman in HIgh School and a CIil AIr Patrol Cadet at the time, to salute her departure from Alameda with my buddy's dad and older cousin both aboard (Hayward home of record), when she shoved off to circle the globe and re-port at No-Fuck, Vagina.
Damned autocorrect.....it always does that.
I mean, NORFOLK, Virginia.
Yeah...that.
CVN-65 was the first ship I ever toured and will forever be my mental image of what the Combat Navy looks, sounds, and feels like.
I had oral surgery on the nImitz in the gulf after an evac from Doha in 2005, so I omitted "smells" from the comment above...since the Nimitz got me really well "read-in" on how stanky y'all can cruise around in boats. 😕
I ended up my last 13 years flying Combat Rescue in the Flight Engineer seat of the very last f the last of the MC-130Ps out of Moffett Field (Post BRAC the Navy was a skeleton crew at best. 1,000 of us in the Pararescue unit (129th RW), a bit less Army, a Marine Cult Cell sized detachment called the Church of Ooh & Rahh (they liked to volunteer to observe golden flow piss tests) (I may have made that part up) (No, I did not apologize for making that part up) and NASA/AMES is all that's left there.
Oh...and Google.
It's their private airfield, pretty much.
I really miss the SF Bay during the Enterprise's reign. Night and day different place than the shit show it is here now.
Sorry, page owner. I really did enjoy the vid and the discussion, but this tangential hijack just spontaneously typed itself when he mentioned the Enterprise and the year. Time machine opened in my mind.
@@SnoopDougieDoug No Apology Needed... and thank YOU for your service too. Love having you guys with actual experience share your stories here. This simulator is the closest I'll get to actually doing any of that and I don't mind living vicariously through you guys :) Thanks for the comment and the visit!
Great video. You don’t mind people looking at you through the windows when you are in VR?
Nah doesn't bother me, if they find joy in watching an old man get bounced around in a video game then who am I to deny them. I just feel sorry when they see me in my underwear playing... You CAN'T Unsee That :)
Nice job Mav 👍
Thanks Goose!!! Appreciate you watching.
Good vid. LOts of practice to land on the deck cleanly. next you have to try the night landing. thats insane.
Thanks for the comment Shadow. I'm working my way up to night landings (see ua-cam.com/video/hjtLhEAtilA/v-deo.html) I love flying the F/A-18!!! See what you think of my other video and thanks for stopping by GYGO!
YEah I have the H3 that Carrier landing can be pretty violent when it catches that hook, I'm looking to upgrade to the H6 soon
Totally worth the upgrade, the heave from the H6 is awesome to simulate hitting the deck. Stay tuned for more information on the H6 soon. We have an upgrade planned that might make it an even better experience.
This is what VR is best at. Flight and racing simulators!
Thanks for the comment scupking! I could not Agree MORE!!! LOVE THIS STUFF!!! Thanks for watching.
what made you go with the H6 vs the P6? I have a butt kicker but it wont fit on my new gaming chair. Great video, great demo. thanks for sharing and letting us in on this amazing setup!
Not knowing if I'd even like the motion platform so I didn't want the extra expense of the P6 because I just didn't know. Not buying the P6 is my biggest regret about buying this unit. If you are interested, I made a whole video about my purchase decision (ua-cam.com/video/YD8GFEptuTk/v-deo.html). As for the Buttkicker, I use a Gamer 2 and it just attaches to a bracket under the seat. Thanks for the view and the comment!
@@GYGOtv I do have the Gamer2 but on my new AKRacking chair the shaft is not straight up and down, it has a bend in it so the Gamer2 Buttkicker won't work (at least it appears that way, more messing around necessary). As far as your purchase decision review, that was great... I also notice that in addition to the extra 4 degrees that the P6 provides, the P6 also has quicker motors to get the chair in position quicker during gaming... perhaps that would mean it's more "jerky" too but much more responsive to flight controls (in addition to being arcade quality motors). This really helps and I appreciate you pointing out this purchase-decision video for me. THANKS AGAIN and Subscribed and Thumbs Up !!!
@@dabneyoffermein595 Glad to help, yes several people have emailed me and gone with the P6 instead... I'm so jealous :) Waiting to hear back their thoughts after going that direction because I'm really curious. I have faith that you can get that Buttkicker installed on some part of the chair... it makes a huge difference IMO. Thanks for the comments and the SUBSCRIBE, I'll try to keep good content coming.
Ran into your channel by accident. What an amazing set up. Quick question about the dofreality since this is the first time ive seen one. how does it detect the game's motions? is it native or do you have to install a 3rd party addon into the DCS/MFS2020 to sync the rig to the game? thanks in advance.
Welcome Dudeinthesea... glad you found us!!! So the DOF Reality rigs use Sim Racing Studio software to read the telemetry from the game and apply it to the motion rig. Almost all sim games use telemetry, and worst case, you can use the SRS Software to simulate movement based on joystick movements if no telemetry is available. If you are really interested in this subject, I have 2 very in depth videos talking about how all this works part 1 ua-cam.com/video/pzi8G7T9p7A/v-deo.html part 2 ua-cam.com/video/LSStkqpIX_M/v-deo.html Hope that helps answer your question and thanks for watching!
Big thx for all your DOF videos who helped me a lot on my new P6. I see all is working very well at you. Unfortunately at me not 🙈 I tried in DCS the same like you in this video here, but I get no effects on the carrier start. I don’t know what I maked wrong. From Jeff from SRS I got a F18 profile what I am using. But this doesn’t solve the problem. Maybe you have a solution for me :) ? Happy flights and greets from Germany ✌️🛫
Thanks for watching Charly... are you getting no movement or some movement? If none, make sure you have gone to the Games Tab at the top (between Tuning and Setup) and activated DCS World, or DCS World Beta depending on what you are using. The instruction button is right there and should tell you what to do. It's pretty easy from what I remember. I hope this fixes your problem, please let me know.
you should add wind simulator and buttkicker with simshaker sound module to complete the experience with motion
That stuff IS already on there. If you look close you can see my hair blowing from the fans. I've got a Gamer 2 buttkicker Installed under the seat and it works great and does what I need it to. I don't turn the wind up very high on flight sims because that isn't realistic, use it more like a car's air conditioner where you get a little more breeze but not a facefull like when I'm racing. Appreciate the comment!
great video, who knows, maybe one day I can buy a pc gamer here in Brazil, to simulate dcs world
It's a great experience! Good luck and thanks for watching.
what split keyboard do you use and how do Mount to the platform
also how did you get the platform to work with DCS, I have H3
In case you didn't see it on your other post, It is a KINESIS Freestyle Pro Split Keyboard amzn.to/3k3AJEy You can find all the details here ua-cam.com/video/zlGQ3N_1LAg/v-deo.html You just activate DCS in the Sim Racing Studio software just like all the other games. If you are interested in my motion settings, you can find them here for the F-18 and F-14, among others drive.google.com/drive/folders/177Qa29FL75vgmJtJAfCw6iHcx_TBhp69?usp=drive_link ENJOY!
Great video, some questions in general. Did you do the sfu upgraded motors? I wonder if those come closer to the range of motion of the p6? Did your chair come with the system. I'm having a hard time finding a chair for the H3 that im considering (for MSFS and dcs). Do you have any real world small plane experience to compare? Many say its great while others say the way it pushes you around isnt realistic, so im confused. It looks like though, doing an upgrade to h6 might be involved if only doing h3 now. What sort of split keyboard is that in the video.
Thanks for the questions Sky, Yes did the SFU and it did get me in line with the P6 according to our tests ua-cam.com/video/Vd5aCnDFRYI/v-deo.html The chair does not come with the unit so you can choose whatever fits you best. I haven't flown in a small plane is a long time but really you want to find something that is comfortable, and for me I wanted arm rests. Mine is a DXRacer King... but it was a lot of work to get it to mount. A lot of racers just go with buckets. I'd recommend you join the DOFBuilders Facebook group, there are lots of people to answer seat questions there for sure. The great thing about the motion is you can tune it how you want it... lots of motion or just a little. I'd guess that most of the detractors haven't taken the time to tune their motion and it probably is too much out of the box. Just like everything in life, takes time to get it right. I absolutely LOVE my motion rig! The keyboard is a KINESIS Freestyle Pro Split Keyboard amzn.to/3k3AJEy You can see my explanation of it here ua-cam.com/video/zlGQ3N_1LAg/v-deo.html ENJOY!!!
@@GYGOtv Thanks, that was helpful, i guess with certain chairs you have to drill holes or work it in. I too want arm rests, i thought maybe the omega would work, one spec is 5mm bigger, so i dunno. Ill check out that dofbuilders group, good tip. Happy flying
Awesome setup, you need PointCTRL man ! 😃
Thanks Jonny, yes I love this rig! PointCTRL is cool but I would just end up punching my steeringwheel and keyboard all the time LOL. The touchpad actually works REALLY well for me and feels very immersive... and I don't hurt myself :) Thanks for watching!
Great setup and great videos. Watched all of your videos on the Varjo aero and DCS. Can I ask what settings you are using in DCS / Nvidia control panel / Varjo Base as I have just got a Varjo Aero to go with my RTX 3090 Suprim X - 10900K 5.4Ghz and it still does not run anywhere as near as smooth as it looks in your video. I was running a Vive Pro before and it was perfectly smooth. Would really appreciate it :) Been waiting years for a headset like this....
Sure thing Barry, Here you go ( drive.google.com/file/d/1OwjdnxeMEqqS6-TYEAWCvBFP0HH5rX2P/view?usp=sharing ). I just did screen grabs so I hope that is ok. I also added this file link to the description in both DCS videos, so thanks for the request. IMO Oversampling (Resolution quality in Varjo Base) has the single biggest impact in general. I also have my video card overclocked, DISCLAIMER: I don't endorse overclocking but there are several videos available on UA-cam if anyone chooses to try it. For example from Jay's 2 Cents ( ua-cam.com/video/6_Me603fnq8/v-deo.html ). Good luck, I hope this helps, and thanks for watching GYGO!
@@GYGOtv Thanks you very much for doing this. I uninstalled and installed Varjo Base / Nvidia driver and used the settings that you very kindly provided. I also disabled g-sync and have overclocked GPU as well to +100 core +650 memory. It is running better at around 65 fps but struggling more in marianas map dropping to around 50 - 55 fps. I have also notice in the Varjo Base software when I run DCS that the PPD drops to 27 PPD? Do you have the same?
Can I ask what processor / motherboard / GPU you have? Do you notice when you look around slowly with the aero that it slightly blurs things and is ok again when you are still? One other question regarding over ear headsets, I have tried two headsets and both make contact with the aero frame and all I can hear is the aero fan vibrating? Do you hear any of this? Thanks again for your advise, much appreciated :)
@@barrytucker2 Awesome, I'm glad it picked up your frames. That performance is on par with what I usually get too. I've never really looked at the PPD once in the game... I'll take the jet up for a spin and see if my changes and get back to you. My computer specs are always at the bottom of the description, but here you go...

When I look around slowly in "desktop mode", yes everything does blur... others have reported this as well. I don't have that issue in any games however so I don't worry about it. I feel like that has something to do with the foveated rendering software and that Varjo will clean that up eventually. I don't think my audio headset hits the frame, but our heads are likely built different from each other (unless you look like Gabe Newell too :)) and I haven't noticed any vibration. I have heard the fan from time to time while putting the headset on or taking it off, but not really when wearing it. Hope that helps, and hope you enjoy the Aero!
Just flew a few sorties in the F/A-18 and the PPD stayed at 35 for me. Hope that helps.
@@GYGOtv Great, thank you for all the info and testing the PPD for me. I have seen some posts online that say its stays at 35PPD when using foveated rendering otherwise will be 27PPD? DCS does not support foveated rendering? Intrigued why / how yours shows 35 and mine shows 27 (Iracing / DCS). I will send a message Varjo and see what they say. Impressed with your setting you are running it at, must be down to the Rysen vs i9 10900K performance. Thanks again, very much appreciated :)
Great vid. Quick question...can you provide more details about the motion setup?
Hi Matthew, thanks for watching and for the comment. We already have a ton of videos talking about the Motion Platform, it's a DOF Reality H6 and you can start the video series here ua-cam.com/video/VxwCUUzOAyA/v-deo.html There are multiple segments so you should have plenty to watch. I hope you enjoy!
@@GYGOtv Thanks for sharing the setup videos. Enjoyed watching parts 1 and 2. Seems you have so much fun and great experiences. Well done
@@matthewtheyoungaviator5958 Thanks Matthew, glad you enjoyed them. We did a major upgrade this year as well that makes them move even more. Here is the link to that if you want to skip ahead ua-cam.com/video/Vd5aCnDFRYI/v-deo.html otherwise enjoy them in order and thanks for the compliments!
Is it possible to use the center mount for the stick while the wheel base is on? That's how my obutto is setup. All I have to do is unscrew the wheel for smooth transition between sims.
Hi E, I'm sure that would be possible somehow if you have a smaller chair and removable wheel. The DOF Reality Rig even has a center mount available. On mine, the chair is so big that there is not that much room and would be hard to get in and out. Plus I've always flown with a side stick from my desktop flying days so it is pretty natural for me. I've also seen others that remove the whole stick so they just have the base in the rig when getting in and out but I don't want to mess with reconfiguring every time. Hope that answers your question and thanks for watching.
It looks like when you're at a hard turn in game, the chair isn't moving to the side much. Do you have your motion settings lowered for this game?
Hi Ben, It might not look like much but it feels pretty good in the sim. Plus this was from the older gearboxes... the new SFU move more. Check it out now ua-cam.com/video/EHgeMzGhhIo/v-deo.html
Where can you buy a seat for it? since DOF don't include a race seat, I'm interested in getting the P3, but not sure where to buy a seat for it, any ideas or where did you get your seat? 🤔
Hi CamaroWarrior... Proud owner of a 1981 Z-28 here BTW! So realistically you can buy any seat you want to go with it. DOF Does that for 2 reasons... Different people have different wants in a seat (some like the pure racing shell type) and others prefer comfort and adjustability (like me). The second reason is it keeps shipping cost down on the units. I have an old DX Racer "King" on mine but it was a PAIN IN THE ASS to mount.(ua-cam.com/video/RNk-c88FNtA/v-deo.html) I'd recommend you join the DOF Reality Builders Facebook Group facebook.com/groups/1858593921047822 and ask them about seats and you will get a ton of answers from other owners who have tried different seats. I would recommend you add a slider also amzn.to/3xnmocH it helps a ton if other people use the rig. Hope that helps and good luck.
couple of questions sir...Is that cable on your headset tethered to the ceiling and then to your PC and is there a version of that simulator with the flight stick in the center?
Hi E Knight, thanks for watching! Yes those are just pully cables (amzn.to/3Oxgg7T) attached to the ceiling with 3M commander strip wire hooks (amzn.to/3S59ER2) and they run the VR headset cable to the PC. To answer your second question, you can customize the motion platform however you want. There is a center stick option, but with my steering wheel I wouldn't be able to get in the thing, so that is why I have a side stick.
@@GYGOtv thank you sir.
Flying the FA18, why not center joystick? is it possible with the H6?
Hi Pat, thanks for the question. Simply a matter of space to be able to get in and out of it the way we have it customized (more info here if you are interested ua-cam.com/video/RNk-c88FNtA/v-deo.html). We moved the controls etc. forward for stability and a bigger seat so it is a bit of a squeeze to get into as is with the steering wheel and center section. The H6 can for sure use a center mount, and DOF even has the mount as an option when you buy the unit. Honestly wasn't that important to me because all my life I have flown flight sims with the stick next to my keyboard on my desk so it is pretty natural feeling for me to have a side stick. If I converted this over to exclusively a flight sim, I'd change it to center stick but I still like to race as well so no immediate plans for that. Hope that answers you question and thanks for viewing our content!
Man you have officially sold me on a motion platform with this.
Thanks for the view Full Speed Fly, it is even better now with the new gearboxes that they have. I plan to post another flying video with it very soon so stay tuned!

As always great video. The one problem I see is that this chair is barely moving.. :(
Thanks Dariusz, appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. I totally get where you are coming from, but you can't really compare what you are seeing with how it feels, especially in a flight sim vs. racing. Flight is generally more subtle, so the movements just kind of flow into each other without lots of jerky movements that you can really see (except for the Catapult Launch and Wire Trap). What I can tell you is when you are actually in the chair it feels amazing. I'd say, it would be nice to have a few more degrees of movement (especially pitch), but even without that, it does a great job of tricking your brain into feeling like you are actually physically in a moving plane. Basically anything that "pulls you off the floor" and makes it NOT feel like you are sitting in an office chair in front of your desk has an amazing effect on immersion. That means even the most basic 2DOF system with just a little movement will still give you the effect of being in the vehicle. I hope that makes sense? Anyway, working on an upgrade that might help with the limited movement you are currently seeing. Stay tuned!
@@GYGOtv Im on the same page with the OG, I am simming in an F16 and from working on them for my day job, when you do hard forward, aft, and jerk movements on the roll; does your brain get tricked when in VR for the jerk?
@@kgallowaypa Hi Kevin... Sorry I'm old so don't know what OG is, but I'll try to answer the best I can. You can pretty much set the platform to throw you around as hard as you would like if you want to. I've gotten shot down and feel like I'm on a bucking bull in the past. Whatever movements you do, it does trick your brain into believing it, at least for me. Of course there is no real G forces, but let me say it this way... It feel more like you are really flying vs. playing a video game. I hope that makes sense? Also, this video was done with the old Gearboxes, which have now been replaced with the SFU upgraded gears. They add about 50% more motion than before. So much so, that we had to do a ton of clearancing of the chassis because it was hitting itself. Basically these new gear boxes allow the rig to move at the maximum limits that it's physical geometry will allow. The pitch now measures up to 21 total degrees of movement which feels pretty awesome. If you want to see the difference the gearboxes make, watch this video comparison at the 5:21 mark ua-cam.com/video/Vd5aCnDFRYI/v-deo.html Hope that answer's your question and thanks for watching.
Never knew that Stephen Hawking was a pilot.
Wow... Just wow
Did you have any motion compensation problems with reverb g2 and this playform?
Hi Luksus84, the motion compensation is due to the movement of the platform and irrelevant to the headset. Motion Compensation was not needed until I upgraded the gearboxes on the platform (which increased movement). Before that, it was fine without it. Hope that answers the question, and thanks for watching.
@@GYGOtv thx for replay, i ordered my dof with new gearboxes. Have you manage how to compansate, or now vario and base station do the job? Or maybe you have solution for reverb g2?
@@LMSTUDI0 Yep we have been working on Motion Comp, we are still in the prototype phase but will do a video once that is done... Did you get an H6 or H3? Also do you run a transducer for vibration?
@@GYGOtv i ordered h6. Now it comes with sfu gearbox out of the box and you dont have to make a upgrade. Still waiting for delivery. My friend also using h6 woth sfu, and said he had some isues with head going out of tje cocpit, but not often. So we are looking for solution. I fly on openvr instead of steamvr and wanted to share with you discord chanel about motion compensation that i found, but i think that YT has canceled my comment with link for invitation ;) cant wait for my h6 to come and to mount my rig on it :)
@@LMSTUDI0 Unfortunately as far as I can tell you will need to run SteamVR for the Motion Comp to work. Are you Aero or HP G2? Are you running transducers for vibration feedback?
Nice video. However I really don’t get what’s interest of this particular motion platform for flight sim. The movements have such a low amplitude. Seems to more for car sim
Appreciate you stopping by and commenting. That is the problem, you can look at it and say well doesn't really look like it does much (although I don't know how you can say that about the cat launch). In reality when you are actually sitting in it in VR and you have the motion, it is enough to trick your brain into feeling like you are there in either a plane or a car. It is amazing how just the slightest movement can reinforce in your brain that you are in an actual vehicle instead of sitting in a chair at your computer desk. The motion produced for cars is far more frenetic than that of a plane, but it doesn't make it feel any less real... it is just a different sensation. I think the best way to sum it up is that the motion makes you feel more like you are in the vehicle than it feels like you are sitting at your desk. It is something you really need to experience instead of just "speculating" what it is like. I hope that makes sense?
No sams, shorads, manpads, and/or enemy air defending the target?
O Hell NO... Those things will Kill You :) I have added more of that on other missions, but I'm still learning some of the ground defense tactics. Plus I originally set up this mission to let others try out bombing without the risk of getting shot down. Most have a hard enough time just managing the plane by itself. Thanks for the comment.
@@GYGOtv Nice video, thanks!
@@johnpancoast3236 Thanks John, appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!
can U give us info about servo motors please?
They are all part of the DOF Reality unit that all come together. I don't have specifics on the motors, but you can probably find them on the DOF Reality website dofreality.com Hope that helps.
What graphics card you running? Beautiful set up.
eVGA 3080ti FTW3 Ultra
@@krisztm7221 that would explain the amazing performance. I have the reverb g2 v2 and with a 2060 it's such a bad experience I don't touch vr.
@@tracyhall3591Yep I totally understand. If you can at least get a 3060ti, that ran pretty well. DCS and MSFS2020 where the big reasons I got the 3080ti... I wanted the best possible tech I could get so I camped out at the local Microcenter so I could get the 3080ti at retail on launch day! Totally worth it!!!
@@krisztm7221 Thanks for the quicker reply for me to Tracy... I think you are my first "unofficial" moderator and I appreciate the help. Sometimes I'm away from the computer for a while or I just miss someone's comment.
@@GYGOtv those 2 exact games are the reason I got the vr.
Looks great man.
Why don't you go more realistic with hornet stick and center position?
Feels a bit like cheating reality this way.
Great question... If I wasn't using the racing wheel I would, but I wouldn't be able to climb in the thing with a center stick. And honestly I've always flown like that back when I was on my desk, the stick was to the side next to keyboard so I'm used to it this way. Last, I is right for Elite Dangerous and other side mounts (f16) for what it's worth. It doesn't really hurt the immersion for me, and I like the button layout of the A10 better than the hornet stick. Hope that answers your question.
Honestly, if I read this correctly it comes with all peripherals including VR, for just over $2000, not bad...
Hi mtsalmela80, thanks for the comment. Unfortunately no, $2000 is just the headset... you will also need basestations and possibly controllers for another $500 unless you already have some. Plus you will want a pretty good computer to run it all. If you get all that, the experience is awesome!
Too bad your platform has no slope. A tip for the mouse. Stick a magnetic foil on the surface and on the underside of the mouse as well. Can be moved well, and the mouse does not fall down. I also have a motion platform and I have solved it this way.
Thanks for the recommendation Swiss777, the trackpad works great for me so no need for a mouse. Which motion platform do you have?
@@GYGOtv Ok, I have the RC4 4DOF from Fasetech. A fantastic part!
@@swiss777Nice! That is a cool system for sure, is it actuator based (super smooth)?
you should come fly with us
Gaben?
Nope, I'm Mark... But thanks for the comment.
motion look fun. Too low on landing, twice. You need to fly the ball.
Thanks for the comment Didier, I can't quite get the hang of flying the ball yet. Everytime it feels like I'm coming in "properly" with the ball, I end up with a bolter. I'm still at the point where if I can get it to stop on the deck, I consider that a win :) But I'll keep working at it for sure. Appreciate you watching our stuff!
It’s doesn’t look like it moves very much
Oh it can... check out the beginning of this video! ua-cam.com/video/nzmRzF7YQBA/v-deo.html Plus it feels like it moves a LOT more than it looks like it moves. It really is an amazing experience in VR! Highly recommended for sim enthusiasts... one of the best purchases I've ever made! Thanks for the comment.
HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED CONSTANT BLACKOUT DURING LANDING ON CARRIER WHEN USING VR???????????? THIS IS SOOOOOO FUCKING ANOYING!!!!! PLEASE HELP GUYS!!!!!
No mine has been fine. Is it only when you turn your head or something? More info please, what equipment are you running?
@@GYGOtv
It's OK...I found solution. I must turn off mirrors in airplane. It's working now
@@ivomajicThanks for the update! That sounds like maybe a memory issue? What memory specs are you running on the GPU and the system itself?
