VR - Ostrogoth - 15.08.2010

I've tried the search function, but nothing came up, so:

Has anyone attempted to use a VR headset with Il2?

If not, why?

Thanks

I'll get one when we get HD image to the glasses.

Thank you for your quick reply to my question. I am researching for possible purchase and want to be reasonably sure I will not be terribly dissapointed.

I have not yet had opportunity to try one, therefore the question, to find out what others here had experienced.

I watched the video you linked. The VR unit was a bit low res for flight sims. I liked the helmet mod ideas and some of the cockpit ideas.

The biggest problem with VR headsets right now is video quality. Right now the best we can get without spending half the GNP of some small countries is 1024 x 768 and those are fairly bulky.

Now before anyone starts yelling "I've seen them with 1280 x 1024", let me say that, yes, they do make them with resolutions that large.
Those are also mainly used for military applications, are extremely large and bulky and cost in excess of $10,000.00 each.

Now with the use of OLED's, I think we will see the price come down and the video quality go up. Just give them a while to get it working right.
Hopefully we'll see a viable consumer version within the next 5 yrs.

S!

I had hoped that the quality had come up moreso. I can wait.
