I tried it out last night. What a rush! I have a DK2 and a CPU that is not "supported' so I wasn't expecting much, but I was impressed. I am looking forward to upgrading to the CV1 and a new CPU. One thing I found out is that air combat in VR is a real workout. Got into a fight with a P40 while puttzing around with the Oculus on. By the time the fight was over I felt like I needed a shower and a nap. :nice:

btw Elite Dangerous is also awesome in VR

Thanks Wozza I realised that but as for me I have been off from work for 6 months and had a spine operation so the DK2 will have to do until I am back to work and doubling my income :salute:
