The Aerofly RC8 released on the IKARUS website

Nice!

I was absolutely not expecting this!

I'm really interested in trying out the VR-Mode. I've already seen VR-RC-Sims, but I think, it's gonna be much better by IPACS, the masters of VR-Flightsim!

Thanks for the information!

That Power Trike and BD-5 w/V-tail would make great additions to AFS2.

Regards,

Has anyone tried this in VR? What's it like?

my nephew is going to lend me his VR helmet next week. I will inform you of the tests.

Perfect. Thank you. I am curious if it is like standing at the rc field watching your plane in the first person, or is it a view from inside the aircraft as in FPV?

I bought the download version of RC 8 today. Pretty expensive (~$aud340) but so far seems worth it. I mainly bought it for VR with my Oculus Rift. So far it seems to work very well. I found that VR really requires you to use a 4D flying field though. Using other than 4D fields makes your aircraft start off ~2.5m above the runway, lol! The VR graphics/performance seems very good. I have both Realflight 8 and Realflight rfx and I would say so far RC 8 looks like it may be a real winner. I also have X-Plane 11.30 and VR with it. Still pretty early days so when I get a few more flights under my belt and finetune a few more settings I'll comment further.

Mr. Bean, In VR in the standard view at a 4D field it really looks like you are at the field. In the 4D fields you can also change your views so you are either following the aircraft or actually in the cockpit. Pretty cool so far imho.

Thank you TomC! That's what I'm looking for. Cheers.

Maybe time to start a separate RC8 sub forum?

Good work jparia !

Will Aerofly RC8 be released for Mac OS?

Quote from admin

bartokwhite We have plans to release aerofly RC 8 for Mac OS as well. We would like to wait a little for user feedback first before doing this step.

Well I'll certainly be first in line when you decide to do RC8 for Mac.

I've found since moving to Mac OSX 10.13.6 that RC7 v7.53 ULTIMATE no longer works and the app crashes, so am hoping future development will solve this.

I'd love to see more TrueScale models on RC8. I fly the P-51 Mustang all the time, plus double-sized Airwolf helicopter of course (I wish you'd change the pilots to have dark outfits + helmets to match the TV series though).

I am waiting for the MAC OS Version, too! I am curious to try the VR technology with Aerofly 8

RC7 v53 works pretty well on my Mac OS 10.14.2

I doubt that you will see any native VR in a Mac in the near future, but who knows, lol!???
