Weather and ice effects VR?

[Cyrex1984]

When can we expect this to be adressed? Really want those effects in VR for better imersion.

For now, we need to wait until 11.3 is out of beta.  After that, it depends how complex the new update is and what it's done to the TBM systems.  We'll need to address those first, before moving on to the rain and ice in VR

Ok, thanks for a quick answer

The TBM seems to be working fine on 11.30 beta. Already done multiple flights with it. Hopefully this means that the VR effects are coming sooner rather than later.

Can we see ice build up on the wings in VR? Are we simply talking about windscreen effects?

Cheers

Neither Saso nor myself have VR, so we can't tell you for sure.  Set icing conditions, stream it and see.  I'll be watching.  Joe from SimVR Labs made us a VR compatible cockpit object, while I make an official one.

These effects dont work in VR!

1.windscreen Rain\ice

2.Broken Windscreen

3.Heatblurs of engine

4.Ice on wings

 

I highly recomend that the developers buy a vr headset to help adress this issues

At the very minimum, ice on the wings would be great!

I can`t understand how top-tier developers can`t afford VR glasses. It costs less than 200 Euros nowadays.

Married developers are broke.

$939 AU dollars.

To support a small but vocal fraction of the market.

Then there's the issue of the hardware you own to run it. Buying a headset does NOT magically upgrade your PC.

This isn't AAA games dev where we make $250 million dollars on launch weekend.

 

I have a VIVE, I paid some $700 for it. My hardware is barely capable of utilising it. (970M GPU, Laptop.) 

It is mostly unusued and is currently boxed because life circumstance dictates that I don't have the space to set it up.

Thankfully I have a laptop so I can remain productive even with limited space.

 

Everything is a trade off.

As a VR only simmer waiting for this update, i'll hold off buying until implemented! I appreciate VR is expensive, but it's here to stay! :)

Thanks to the developers for this amazing plane!

Now that XP11.30 is out of beta would it be possible to implement these very desirable features-ice and rain effects in VR-for me this would add so much more to an already great product

[ManxJason]

Yes please do implement. Insta-buy customer here

Yes. Im waiting too

[ManxJason]

Seems a few of us re waiting. With the devs not currently owning a vr headset, I'd be happy to run any tests, screenshares and supply logs if you guys need them. 

[ManxJason]

Bumping this topic back up so it's not forgotten. It's such a superb aircraft, for me in VR all it's missing now are the rain and ice effects.

They look superb non-vr, but us VR flyers can't go back to monitors!

They'll get to it, be patient

[Captain744]

Also waiting............patiently, well.....trying too. 

 

Anyone else waiting for this must have VR FEATURE?

[Cyrex1984]

Yes im waiting, been waiting since the release.

[MarkyG]

Yes I’ve been waiting for this to be implemented too. For the developers who don’t have a VR headset and would like to test their addons for VR compatibility check out this link from Laminar, apparently you may not need to buy a headset :)

Another thread mentioned one of the devs is working in it, but it's complex
