Ya, but you still need to initially be on the internet in order to login to Steam before you can go offline. This explains the process; https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0E18-319B-E34B-B2C8

The secret to get good VR with rf9.5s using Oculus/Meta headsets is to run it through SteamVR. If you run it through the Oculus runtime the colors are very washed out. Also, with SteamVR you can set the % visuals (on a per app basis) higher if your PC specs are good enough. This has been the...

I use a 5m (16ft) usb2 active extension cable with my Interlink DX and it works perfectly. I plug it into a PC usb3 port but the usb2 cable ensures it ends up usb2, which my DX seems to like better.

Ya, good one mate. That command is actually in my rf9.5 manual and also listed in the Help/show commands (H key). Still works with RF9.5s, esc to exit. Hopefully also works with Evolution. Cheers.

Not sure if this is still necessary but in previous RF versions I found I needed to select a US Keyboard in windows for RF to then allow the ~ command to work properly.

Like previous RF VR versions since RF8 you are best to startup RF in SteamVR mode, not Oculus mode. This will produce much better colors/contrast imho. If you have a good VR-ready PC you shouldn't notice any loss in performance.

Pretty sure that command only works with Oculus/Meta VR headsets like it does with RF9.5s. For other headsets you probably need to adjust your SteamVR % visuals. With my VP1 and RF9.5s (still haven't made the jump to Evolution yet) I've found it best to set SteamVR visuals manually (not auto)...

Actually the DX conreoller doesn't work great with RF8 (front left 3-way only works as a 2-way). You really need rf9 or higher. I have rf9.5s and it works great. Also works great with Aerofly RC8 (available on Steam). I use it mainly for VR and rf9.5s with a 2d monitor.

Thanks again and ya, fair enough. Whenever RF gets a more modern graphics engine and works better in VR (no real VR improvements since RF8) I'll def go for it!

Ya, thanks, I've got all that. I'm probably more interested in getting actual user feedback.

Sorry to need to ask this, but as a very longtime RF user, (since RF2), and one who now uses VR for most games/sims, why the heck would I spend us$70 upgrading RF9.5s, while I'm already pretty happy with rf9.5s, and mainly use it 2D flatscreen? Maybe I'm missing something? Please explain, thanks.

Thanks, ya, not too bad eh! It cost me a small fortune though (~aud$7,000). So far I haven't had any RF related problems. I don't have RFE, just RF9.5s. I'm still sorting out a few win11 issues, nothing too serious. This PC came loaded with win11 and I for a while I thought about just doing...

Sorry, probably a bit off topic; I just got my nice new i9 13900k/rtx4090/32Gb 5200 ram rig up and running with win11. RF 9.5s loaded up and ran fine using my Spektrum Interlink DX controller. For VR using my Quest 2 and Quest Pro I still find it best to run it though SteamVR (better...

Pretty silly thing to do mate imho. Since I purchased RF9.5 from HH I'd expect to get Evolution for free. The move to RF9.5s was mainly only a benefit to the developer to begin with so there is not good reason to treat 9.5 and 9.5s users differently imho. I can assure you that there is no way...

Looks very cool. We can never have too many 3D planes and heli's. It would be nice if there was a switch option to turn on/off rudder controlled differential throttle. This should allow for even more extreme 3D moves, lol!
