I’ve had more time using VR mode, and now I find it my favorite way to play the game. I did a nice VFR flight from Socorro NM to Scottsdale, AZ. I did a cold start to see how well I could work with all of the cockpit functions on a Beechcraft B58, and I successfully started the plane up, taxied to the runway and took off. I then flew west at 5000 feet eventually climbing to 10000 feet and enjoying the scenery. My aim was to fly over the Very Large Array radio telescope, but I missed it on my westward journey. A couple hours later I executed one of my best landings ever in this game. VR seems to make it easier for me to get lined up to the runway.
My next session was an IFR flight from KSAN to KSFO in the B787, and Wow! The experience was amazing. I wasn’t sure if I could handle managing the systems well in VR but it wasn’t too bad at all. The tool zoom feature really helps me to read the MFD information since the resolution at the standard seating position is too low to make the display legible. Once again I executed a perfect landing.
I don’t think I can go back to using 2D monitor now.
