Hauksbee 103 Posted October 5, 2014 How soon will we be dumping our TrackIRs and projecting a whole multi-airplane furball around ourselves? http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/5/6912979/microsoft-roomalive-research-projector-system . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hauksbee 103 Posted October 31, 2014 I'm waiting for Oculus. Yeah, Occulus Rift (great name!) looks good, but the problem is, when flying OFF/WOFF is that you have to be able to see the keyboard...at least occasionally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von Baur 54 Posted November 6, 2014 Relatively simple solution to that, Hauksbee: get a controller that will put all commands at you fingertips. Yeah, yeah, "Real WWI flying aces didn't have handy little buttons for this and that and the other thing." Real WWI flying aces: couldn't hit pause when they had to pee or grab a sandwich; didn't have their wife or kids need them to look for something when they were on a mission; didn't have UPS ring their doorbell during a hot furball or when stalking a flight of enemy aircraft; never had a cat land in their laps when they were lining up for a bombing run or recce pic. And they didn't have to wear silly headgear for anything other than keeping their ears warm. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Relatively simple solution to that, Hauksbee: get a controller that will put all commands at you fingertips. Sure. 'Sounds so simple when you say it. After all, people do learn to type by touch. But that's a bit more than I (a QC pilot, at that) want to put into it. I couldn't even memorise the few F-keys I needed to switch views, so I bought a second keyboard and modified it with big rhinestones so my eye would go right to them.
