I have the download version of RF8 so this update was useful for me.
Since I fly RF8 in VR (with and Oculus Rift) and Non-VR modes I really like the option to start in either by adding the -novr or -oculusvr to the RF8 launcher. I've ended up creating 2 shortcuts to do either. Main advantage for me is that the non-vr mode does not try to start up Steam and force me to cancel it. Once I have run the -oculusvr I've found that I can just select RF from my Oculus core 1.0 home library the next time, no problems, and I never have to run the RF launcher ever again.
As far as VR goes, I do not see a lot of improvements. For me, with an Oculus Rift, there is still no water renderings (just flat blue). Night flying still has sky banding and looks terrible. Colours and contrast are still way too washed out. Both can be somewhat improved by adjusting the Sun azimuth (shift-page down or page up). Doing this makes it much more vr-flyable, and enjoyable for me.
Still the best RC Sim (VR or non-VR) on the market imho.
