Cyrex1984 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 When can we expect this to be adressed? Really want those effects in VR for better imersion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcbraun Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSean00 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Can we see ice build up on the wings in VR? Are we simply talking about windscreen effects? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited November 18, 2018 by Cyrex1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSean00 Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 At the very minimum, ice on the wings would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcbraun Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) I can`t understand how top-tier developers can`t afford VR glasses. It costs less than 200 Euros nowadays. Edited November 24, 2018 by gcbraun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxJason Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 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! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeye Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxJason Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxJason Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 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!

MarkyG Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 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 :) https://developer.x-plane.com/2019/01/faking-vr-for-fun-and-profit/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
