DCS that was it. I never got off the runway, looked cool though lol.

Yeh flight simmers love VR, I downloaded one on steam, can;t recall the name it was a proper flight sim from a Russian dev team, but it wasn't dev'd for VR and I found it just waaay to difficult to get in to. Elite Dangerous is just the most immersive VR experience you could wish for. I am on the verge of shelling out for the flight controllers that are actually modelled in game and giving ED a new, concentrated run through. I love how you can also use voice commands in ED and the ship actually talks back to you, the voice packs even have William Shatner on board. Very cool. If you wait until 2018 you will also have wireless headsets and new "glove" like controllers with finger tip control.

There is an insane amount of content now MH6, and I would guess around 20 titles that are rate overwhelmingly positive on steam that are pretty much "must haves". Right now I would say that VR games are entering the next phase, where we are getting proper games that look just fantastic, and have decent longevity. You do need a decent space to use it granted, for room scale anyway, luckily I have a 4m x 3m space that works out just great. There are plenty of seated titles too though, although room scale is really awesome. I totally understand frustration around lack of space though. The only hastle I have is the cable to the headset, but later this year there will be a wireless adaptor, I am so pumped for that, it will help immersion so much not to be tethered to the PC.

So I did eventually get the Vive, had it for a few months now, must have about 90 games in the VR library lol. Lots of free stuff and sub £5 stuff. Only paid for a few that were £15 or more. Anyone else get a Vive? Would be good to have a spartan to swap stories with!

As soon as I saw someone call it System 2 Shock - the spiritual successor, I was sold. I put it on my wishlist and will get it once I have finished Wildlands!

Yeh Luggage was very helpful to me several times - where is that dude?

Thank you guys, I had a great family day.

So what's the cheapest you can realistically get into this lark to see if its something that you would turn into a hobby before fining out you wasted $$$$? Right now I'm saving for the Vive, so I don't really need this distraction but.... For example this thing is peanuts - but I assume you get what u pay for... http://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_343643.html?currency=GBP&gclid=CjwKEAjwkJfABRDnhbPlx6WI4ncSJADMQqxdYeXfGbbYqZjZ06aD5bdJUXk75o659wbbdCx-Qxg48BoC3vDw_wcB

Okay I got it - blue dots.

Okay I need help. - Awaiting in Hanger - 1 flyable ship Except my hanger is empty. I have a vague recollection that I lost my ship during my first n00b voyage, ages ago, Help...?

Just stunning! I am installing the game again now - the gamescom video is simply awesome! I really like the direction this game is taking.

Well I've made up my mind, I'm getting the Vive.

2:15 "This is incredibly impressive".

Short on time? SKIP this one and go to my next post... Awesome, just awesome. At the parts where there is a seat in the game, I can totally imagine me forgetting I'm in a game a falling on my ass. VR and full 3D, with room walking, SOLD.

Yeh I also read that this type of thing has been going on for years, it's only the advent of the "instant news" world that we live in now thanks to the internet that's made the general public aware of such events - the military are used to it now though. Great viewing for us though!

How on earth stage 1 landed on that barge beats me, I thought it was playing back in reverse for a minute.

Hmmm stuff like this makes me want to pony up right now!! http://store.steampowered.com/app/270130/

Yeh mini games are okay to begin with but I'm looking for the second wave that will include extremely immersive and dark games.

I was telling my kids this in the car the ther other day as I drifted onto the white line to demonstrate. When I saw the quizzical looks as I explained "like the groves on a record", I knew they were pretending to be impressed.

Its great fun actually, we had a blast with the VR apps, pretending to be on a roller coaster while sitting in a swivel chair is really cool. So cool, it does make me want to step up. I just ran the nvidia test though, I'd also need to shell out for a new GPU, so the whole deal is almost 4 figures now....

Oh yes they have. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Updated-Version-Splaks-Cardboard-Glasses/dp/B0193IM368/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1459964007&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=google+cardboard&psc=1 Works great too!

So Sony announced their VR headset will be about £350, the HTC Vive for Steam is about £650, and then there's oculus. Anyone clued up on this yet? Which is going to be the best, and what kind of rig does the PC gear need? Walk around sounds really cool on the vive http://www.cnet.com/products/htc-vive-review/

That GTS is my dream car. Right now I am debating keeping my c-class or getting the lovely new c-class coupe - but that GTS is for my lottery win.
