Got me again!!

Thank you for the update! What was changed?

Display MoreHi there!
i have installed the update, but it seems that the new version is pretty buggy. For example sound doesn't work in general or R22 doors can't be opened with mousbutton.
Regards,
Ives
Thanks for the update. Sounds working for me. R22 door opens also. Click and push the door handle.

Same problem I had and reported in another thread, along with the fix.
See below.
However when using "Navigation" or "Location" options from the main menu the map is severely distorted. Horizontal lines through map. Turning Vulkan off fixes this**.
**Update to the above:
Fixed the distorted Vulkan graphics "Navigation" or "Location" map by going to: Graphics Quality Settings > Texture Quality > adjust from MED to HIGH. On Medium settings the MAP graphics are messed up, on HIGH they are A-OK.

Using Vulkan FPS seems smoother! Nice!

In proper knife edge, the fuselage is providing virtually all of the lift. Flat sided fuselage is best. The Pitts has a tiny rounded fuse.
…in theory, with sufficient fuselage side area (fuselage is now the lift device), lots of thrust, and a powerful rudder (to control the fuselage angle of attack), you could fly all day long in knife edge.

Stealth pedals!

..or install voicemeeter banana
^ This.
BTW. Voicemeeter is what I use with AFFS2 in order to get aircraft vibrations transmitted to my sim seat, via sounds, through tactile sound transducer, whilst using the rift. Bass cranked to 12. Ssssseat sssshakes nnnnice.

It was wonderful "at the time", just like the VR is now with the Rift or Vive. Give it a few years and people will laugh at how primitive we were back in 2019...

Ah the old days. Good times. Sub Logic FS1. They advertised it as capable of 150 LINES per second. Not frames... LINES.

The Realflight Interlink Elite controller is compatible with aerofly RC 7.
Check and see if the Interlink is shown as a joystick in the Windows system settings, if thats the case, you can use it with RC 7.The Phoenix interface is NOT compatible with aerofly RC 7, it uses its own communication protocol.
We will improve the compatibility list on our website to state clearly what devices are compatible or not.
Where do I find the controller compatibility list?
Thanks!

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.
-
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?

Has anyone tried this in VR? What's it like?
-
I think the title of this thread is the definition of helicopter flying...
-
Whatever they (IPACS) are doing is working. AMAZINGLY well imo.

44 years a helicopter engineer and 1500+ hours flying helicopters and I agree totally, a sim doesn't help you one bit, Instructors push you so far but you learn far more on your own and by your mistakes, when a trip scares you half to death it tends to stick in the memory more
Retired airline pilot. Hundreds of hours in level D sims. Decades of experience with desktop flight simulations. Two things:
1) There is NO replacing proper flight training from qualified instructors.
2) There IS immense (potential) value from flight simulation, whether a level D sim, or a desktop sim (and especially with the advent of VR).

I lol'd!

I forgot how many minor pedal adjustments you make when flying until I flew today and consciously thought about it. I get how a non pilot would think it is tiresome. I compare it to driving a car on the highway, you don't think where the car has to be, you just do it. Same with flying a helicopter, you think it and it happens.
Definitely! It is sure not like a plane where you can trim it hands off, and it will pretty much stay there. Hats off to real whirly bird pilots!
