  4. Pre-sale question - Vulkan

    in Saab 340A

    Posted

    Hello,

    I'm looking to purchase this aircraft and wondered if the aircraft is expected to work with Vulkan or if it will need an update. I ask as I'm testing Vulkan. I appreciate that if an update is needed it would make sense to wait until X-Plane Vulkan support is out of beta, but if it's expected to just work with Vulkan then I'll happily make the purchase shortly.

    Thanks in advance, and I hope everybody here is safe and well in these strange times.

    :)

    What is still needed to make the breakthrough, in my opinion:

    • affordable headsets, wireless, good FOV, excellent resolution, comfortable to wear for hours
    • CPU´s to fire these headsets at a good FR without significant loss in visual quality (i.e. not pulling all sliders left) - note: Vulcan will not fix that!
    • sensory gloves to be really able to manipulate the virtual cockpit in a realistic fashion

    Agreed, and in particular that last one combined with haptic feedback. It's good to see it's being thought about though, as I am intending to purchase the IXEG 737 and I do fly VR, so I am quite interested in this. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    My personal rationale about this is that it is not really possible to use an airliner in VR yet (either the resolution is too low to read stuff or the framerate is too low when you run a PIMAX or the like...). Lets give it another year or two for that.

    Whilst that was true, fairly recently it's becoming more of a reality. I use VR in airliners and I know of a Twitch streamer that does too: 

     

    The fidelity of the headsets is just about there now (i.e. now that we're past gen 1 VIVE and Rift)  and modern systems, with correctly configured X-Plane 11, can achieve decent performance in VR.

  8. Update

    Hello,

    I'm very interested in the IXEG 737. Will the next update be free for existing owners or will there be an upgrade cost? (I'm asking so I know whether to buy it now or later.)

    Thanks
