We will update everyone shortly. We just need to work on some items a little bit more before we can speak about them.
We know that it's been a while since you have heard from us, and we apologize for that, however we have been working on a lot of changes internally to prepare for better days to come
We will try harder to update everyone better in the figure.
Thank you Jeff! That’s exactly what I am expecting.
Looks incredible. Can't wait for it.
An alpha has been released. That’s all I know.
What's the alpha?
It's been a long time since we heard anything about the progress of our most beloved sim. Maybe some hints or rumors just to refresh us and make the wait more fun?
Ordered from where?
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R…s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull
I ordered HP Reverb instead. 
3K total resolution just won't cut it for flight sim. We should start from 4K.
Spectacular!
And if only we have dynamic 3D water...
This tendency has become more and more obvious with the release and success of ORBX TrueEarth series.
Eventually we will be flying in a very recognizable and immersive world. What a time to be alive for simmers!
Aerofly FS 2 was actually a leader in this approach, and I wish you keep the lead.
Reverb is the answer.
I have Odyssey OG and Pimax 5K+/8K. 5K+ and Odyssey have almost the same, but 5K+ has more clarity over Odyssey, and the instruments on 5K+ are more readable.
What do you see as the weakness for fs2 use? It looks very exciting to me.
Vive Pro resolution diluted to bigger FOV, thus only Oculus OG clarity. Big no no for Sims in 2019.
Good for other games, but not for Aerofly FS 2. More looking forward to HP Reverb.
Honestly, while we all search for the Holy Grail of super high-resolution, my experience says that aerofly is probably the only Sim that could run acceptably at those resolutions .
Anything else will be reduced to a slideshow , so I'm not sure how good those super hi-rez hmds are really going to be for simulation .
Perhaps Oculus being a bit more humble with its ambitions , will actually provide the more reasonable compromise .
Even turning down the resolution and Steam VR SS, a higher resolution headset still has better clarity than one with lower resolution panels. And FS2 can handle higher resolutions.
It shouldn't be that bad. You need to check with your Pitool and SteamVR settings. Flight simmers of DCS and X-plane are very positive towards Pimax 5K+ compared with other headsets.
I can read FS2 instrument more clearly on Pimax 5K+ than Odyssey OG, but I think HP Reverb will be even better than Pimax 5K+.
However good it is, this is for the general mass market, not for the flight simmers, hence not worth much discussion here.
HP Reverb is the one to anticipate, even better than Pimax 5K+, which is better than Vive Pro, which is better than Oculus S, for simmers.
DOF Reality 2 Dof. Managed to get simtools to follow my joystick inputs, which was a mammoth task in itself. Very jerky movement though which I cannot seem to eliminate with filter settings. DCS World.
Funny but the image quality is very blurry through my 5K+,(AFS2) especially in the distance. Frames are smooth though. Runways are completely blurred until final descent. Running a i7 9700 5ghz. 1080. SSD built into mobo.
Sorry but an R22 does not cut it for me. I want something a little bigger. Chinook would be nice.
That's very hard to understand. Most users of flight sim are reporting good clarity with Pimax 5K+. What's your SteamVR and Pitool setting?
As users of flight sims are more likely to opt for Pimax for its better clarity and FOV, you might investigate more into these new generation of headsets which might have compatibility problems.
Once Pimax get's their SDK done in a cleaner way and fo we might consider their approach of rendering to VR. As of right now they are only targetting Unity or Unreal which Aerofly FS doesn't use. We have our own rendering engine.
But the 35% performance improvement you mention here, does not hold for Aerofly FS. Using a fast NVIDIA type card we are not pixel shader limited so we won't see that much of a performance benefit.
And to clarify it, Aerofly FS is fully compatible with Pimax, but we have not invested into any special VR optimizations for these VR glasses.
Haven't noticed this, but you can use the normal view instead, and it's more friendly on FPS.
Yes I agree SDE and resolution are two things that are pushing people away from VR, but there is some progress. Pimax VR has better SDE and resolution than Odyssey to the effect that you can read all the instruments without any need to bend over for recognition. Definitely worth a try if you are unsatisfied with previous generation of VR headsets.
Yes... I have sold my Samsung Odyssey VR set after 2 weeks and I know there are lot of disappointed users. As long as there is no better VR headset that can produce at least HD on every eye without a screen door effect in Flight simulation I personally will stay on the good old 3DVision. Don't get me wrong... I was impressed with VR for flight simulation and as soon there is a good solution I will buy again a VR set. I have all the flightsims that are on the market today and the best experience for me was indeed in Aerofly and was for me the main reason for buying it but in 2D it's loosing my attention. What I wrote earlier, there are more and more flight simmers stepping aside from VR, Buying a big screen capable of 120Hz and go for the old Stereoscopic 3D. I see more and more people seeking on marketplaces for used 3DVision kits. For programmers it's not a hard deal to adapt also 3Dvision and I regret the decision of IPACS to not implementing it but hé, it's there choice and marketing roadmap.
Just my 2 cents...
Is it really worth the trouble to revive 3D vision in the age of VR?
