Arg... You mean I can't catch a plane and throw it at other planes in multiplayer?
Thanks !

Cool
yes this is great news. you will certainly need a good internet connection. I think most people do, but I know a few that still live far away from town so they have it on their satellite which is not always great

This is great! I was hoping it would be like this. Would it be more taxing on the internet connection than ordinary multiplayer? All the extra rendering would be local... no? Or would there even be any extra rendering beyond what you normally do to see other pilots?
Also assuming you can be in VR while other pilots in the room are on a flat screen?

I look forward to trying the VR! I've got an Oculus waiting for RF8 to arrive!

Probably a typo. I'm sure it has the same Sierra Nevada terrain as all of the other versions of realflight has. No you cannot add additional terrain, but it is possible to model terrain as a object. Look up Mt. St. Helens on the Swap pages.
Yes to both.

I borrowed a friends Rift VR set since he prefers another brand for his gaming. RF-8 is giving me 80-110 fps using VR on an older i5 PC.
I am really looking forward to VR. I could spring for the Occulus Setup now but I really want that Odyssey HMD setup from Samsung. I just don't want to be the guinea pig and purchase it only to find it isn't compatible with Realflight
. I Fly FPV with a couple quads, I don't get the nausea that some people have, but during FPV I deliberately fly slower than I would if I was flying from the ground. I got word that My copy of RF8 has shipped. I should have it next week.

ME TOO!
I have it from Samsung tech supp that the Odessey does support OpenVR... but that's not the same as an All Good! from someone who actually tried it.
The VR is entirely local on the client side, so it doesn't impose an additional burden on multiplayer (except that the rendering performance probably takes a little bit bigger hit for each additional aircraft in your view vs. non-VR). You can be in VR while other people in the session are not, no problem. We've done it here.
You say "only", but 5000 square miles of terrain is a looooooot of area for an RC model.
No, there is no option to add additional terrain beyond what's there. But you can add airports at different locations within the existing terrain.
Hi all, I just bought an Alienware 15 R3 laptop with 16 GB DDR4 ram, 8GB DDR5 overclocked G1070. Using Oculus for VR. Could some one post a list of tips to optimize the video quality in VR? I know that are lots of settings that can be updated with the graphics card, maybe the laptop itself, or maybe KE or Oculus.
I am pretty excited by this but just plugging everything in - the image quality is barely ok at close range on a photofield for a fixed wing, simulated fields or even photofields at normal flying distances are not good.
Oculus seems pretty responsive for a few other demos, I am not a gamer.
Tips please! Much appreciated.
Edit: I figured out how to enable frame rate display using Nvidia GeForce Experience. Machine is doing 280normal to as high as 380 FPS but as soon as I get my headset on, FPS drops to 45. I tried all RF graphics settings. Higher quality makes the VR picture worse while improving the pic on the laptop.
Feels like a compatibility issue or a settings issue between RF and Oculus. My machine and Oculus are blazing fast for other even more complex games.
