[simpits-tech] GAAAAAAH!

[Joseph Fagner]

I have Internet but have been in a cave...aka work...for quite some time
now.  Give me the run down on this thing.  It sounds like I can ditch the
projections and put this thing on yet still interact with the pit?  Am I
hearing you correctly?

I got my Oculus Rift DK2 in today.  (http://www.oculusvr.com if you've been
living in a cave with no internet access.)

OH. MY. GOD.

The desktop demo was interesting.

The Tuscany Demo was neat.

The CyberSpace demo was cute.

War Thunder?  AMAZEBALLS.

I'm dropped into the default P-26A Peashooter and I'm goggling around like a
Japanese tourist in the middle of Times Sqaure, giggling like a little girl
and plugging away at anything that moved.  IT. WAS. GLORIOUS!

I'm downloading DCS World on to my desktop machine right now.  We'll see how
I survive.

Being able to look around the inside (and OUTSIDE!) the aircraft, just like
you would in reality is the most amazing experience I've ever had.

If castAR is half as good as this DK2, I may never leave my house again. 
:D

This device is really going to make some huge waves in the flight simulation
community.  If they can make it an AR (augmented reality, vs VR, which is
what it is now), diy cockpit building is going to explode.

I'm not even embarassed to have used the word "amazeballs" with a straight
face. :D

I've got to get the controls rigged in the F-15 again.

Wayne, we MUST get that Air Creations trike rig built. :D
