Title: Vox Machinae...Mech Warrior in VR
Post by: Jarhead0331 on May 04, 2018, 03:14:38 PM
Very eagerly awaiting this. I've requested press access, so hopefully I won't be ignored.

Like VTOL VR, this supports total motion controller support. This, is what I feel VR was meant for.

I cannot agree more with this comment.

How about porn and giant robots?  I sense a moneymaker there.

Depends. Are the robots anatomically correct?   :)

Somewhere out there...probably in Florida, there's a guy who's into that.

Erm Wow ... may be a reason to dust off my little used rift.

JH Have you tried the new Microsoft headsets - are they any better than the RIFT or Vive - I read they have in increase in Resolution and no cables - two of my main gripes with the rift

My pilot brain just can't get used to VTOL's controls. Its so weird to not feel any resistance and therefore I have a very hard time making controlled, fine inputs.
While I really like the project for its idea, I just don't think its practical at all to have main flight controls mapped like this.
A much better alternative (for me) would be to have joystick support and use a Touch controller to interact with the cockpit buttons and MFDs and the throttle.
The throttle being in VR is much less of a problem than the flightstick.

I'm very disappointed to read this. Personally, I think its one of the most revolutionary titles in flight simming. I absolutely love it.
