I'd be interested in those settings as well if it is not to much trouble:)

And for me please, I can see how they work with my peasant edition 980Ti.
Me too, if you'd be so kind :praise:

I must go up to the skies again, to the peace of silent flight, To the gull’s way, and the hawk’s way, and the free wings’ delight;
And all I ask is a friendly joke with a laughing fellow rover, And a large beer, and a deep sleep, when the long flight’s over.

I never use it to be honest - just stick with Steam Vr since it insists it must run!

You'll have the advantage over me that you've had one before and know what you're doing.

I need to have the ASW off, as the blurryness it causes to the prop does not work for me. I use the tray tool for this function specifically.

WICKED!

I just tried the Rift in BoK; fumbled my way through the SteamVR setup and just took an Fw 190 for a spin. Right away I realised that the flightsimming I had been doing for the last 11-12 years was utter bs; I had never 'flown' before until I did it in 3d!

I have often seen and heard guys putting down flightsims other than there own personal favourite, often with the derogatory term 'arcade'; not a term I like, and I have myself always considered the different sims, BoX, Clod, DCS as games, or perhaps rather as simgames. None of them perfect, but all damn good at what they do in their own way; and the 'best' comes down to personal preferences,

Now, having tried VR, however briefly, I will embrace the term 'arcade' as fitting to describe flying on a 2d screen; there is simply no comparison.

However, I flew just off the bat, so it could look better. Any chance that I can be included as a recipient of those settings that are going round :D
