I can glance back to see the runway as I fly down the downwind leg. The feeling of "immersion" is extremely cool! I feel like I'm sitting in the glider. I am surprised how much better it is than staring at a computer screen. I am extremely impressed with the new VR functionality in Condor 2! I am using an Oculus Rift. I've been playing with Condor 2 and the Oculus Rift more this week.
Computer monitor just don’t make you feel like you’re there. When I upgraded my rig, I had a choice to spend $900 on 38” wide screen monitor or buy Oculus. Hopefully, next generation of VR will address it, but even today it’s incredible. Imagine you’re short-sighted and you forgot your eye-glasses at home. It’s bad to the point you need to lean toward dashboard to have a clear view of instruments and PDA. It’s just not clear enough due to low pixel density of the displays used in the headset. The bigest problem is the clarity of the image. It also comes with free games that will make you feel like a kid, Robo Recall is one of them :) At first, I was concerned with field of view, is it wide enough? What about “door” effect? Well, it’s not an issue and it doesn’t interfere with immersion. That includes ability to reach game menu and settings.Ī few words about Oculus Rift, it’s on sale now for $350 bundle with sensors and two controllers and definetely worth money spent. Would be nice to do it in VR by using Oculus touch controller. I don’t have enough buttons on joystick, so in some cases I still have to use keyboard, which is impossible with googles on. Regarding immersion, it’s almost complete but lacks actual interaction with cockpit controls. Like with real motion sickness, it gets easier with practice. It’s incredible! On my first try I got sever motion sickness after 10 minutes of flight, but on the second day I flew for 2 hours nonstop without much problems. I’ve been flying Condor 2 with Oculus Rift for last several days.
The idea of being able to look around while flying is very cool. Which one do experts recommend? What is "Revive"? I don't know much yet about the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. If you already have Condor 2 installed, you can update it for free here: I also offer all the available Add-On sailplanes in a bundle for $88.
The ASG 28 Es Add-On sailplane is available here: If you don't already own it, you can order Condor 2 here: This update is free for all Condor 2 users.Īlso released today is our first glider with sustainer motor - the ASG 29 Es 18m in 2 variants with and without motor. Today the Condor 2 team announced the release of Condor update 2.0.5 with native support for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive (using Revive). Hi Condor 2 Soaring Flight Simulator Fans
