The future of VR flight simming? http://store.steampowered.com/app/667970/VTOL_VR/ Random youtube review so you can see how it works, because I was too lazy to set up recording for my own: Basically, the idea is to get rid of keyboard/mouse/janky look-cursor/etc and have the only controls...

This is a thread for discussion of the new Star Wars movie, Rogue One, in an environment where we don't have to worry about spoiling things for people who haven't seen it. If you haven't seen the movie yet and don't want to see spoilers, this is the wrong thread for you. Go see the movie...

This was released on Steam Early Access a couple weeks ago, and I've just now gotten around to playing it. Loving what I see so far, so I figured I'd start a thread for it. http://store.steampowered.com/app/383120/ Trailer: The game is still pre-alpha, and it's already closer to the game I...

http://www.wpcentral.com/dovetail-games-resurrect-flight-simulator-series-using-microsoft-tech Also, Dovetail Games will be continuing the franchise: I'm a little concerned about the new games' ability to be competitive in this day and age, considering that FSX is approaching a decade...

Just discovered this on Steam's Greenlight. Basically...minecraft. In space. This is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for/wanting/dreaming about... Anyone else seen this or know anything about it? www.star-made.org ---------- Post added 09-01-12 at 00:25 ---------- Previous...

Xyon linked to this in the 0x10c thread, and I think it really deserves its own thread. http://hazeron.com/ It's also extremely hard to learn what's going on, has a steep learning curve, and several annoying issues ("I'm the emperor, why am I needing to pay for everything?" or "We have...

Pronounced...well, nobody actually knows how you should pronounce it at this point. Article: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2012/04/minecraft-creator-announces-hardcore-space-simulator-as-next-project.ars Website: http://0x10c.com/ Possibly the nerdiest backstory for a video game ever...

Just found this on Gizmodo... Anyone got a spare $8500 laying around for a Surface?

Looks like a pilot on a training sortie decided to take up a camera. Some pretty nice shots in there. LiveLeak.com - GoPro + F18 = AWESOME Edit: Hey cool, the forum embeds LiveLeak videos!

Anyone else playing Forza 4 that would be interested in an O-F or Orbiter car club in the game?

So, given the difficulty people have had setting up a working Minecraft server, I decided to give it a go myself. The server is at: IP: 67.182.137.227 Default port (25565) Dynamic server map: http://67.182.137.227:8123/ This is a SURVIVAL server. That means that there's no cheated...

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2010/feb10/02-01msx4keyboardpr.mspx It scans the keys individually, allowing you to push up to 26 keys simultaneously. At only $60, this could be a useful sort of thing to get for simpit building, if only to salvage the circuits out of, since the vast...

Saitek's answer to the Logitech G940, apparently: http://www.ironhammers.co.uk/home/2009/10/29/saitek-pro-flight-x65f-control-system-announced.html http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x65f.html They're planning on releasing it "in time for the holiday season," so should be soon. Some...

See http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=115665#post115665 for part of the preliminary discussion. The problem for simpit builders and anyone wanting to set up advanced inputs to Orbiter is that there's no standardized way of handling systems in Orbiter. Look at FSX, for example--you...

Just noticed these: http://www.saitekusa.com/prod/pfmulti.htm http://www.saitekusa.com/prod/pfradio.htm :OMG: :love: Doesn't say that there will be an SDK to allow them to work with other sims, but their instrument panel had one so I wouldn't be at all surprised if they had one for these...

Nice. The Saraychev Peak eruption from space. YouTube - ISS020 Saraychev Peak Eruption

Well, I tried joining dan's forums to report the bug there, but never got approved, so I'll post this here and maybe someone will find it... On Vista and Win7, if Orbiter is in windowed mode, switching focus to another window while in external view (with OrbiterSound playing music) will cause...

Coming out in September, apparently: http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/logitechs-flight-system-g940-joystick-almost-replaces-flight-sc/ http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/joysticks/devices/5855&cl=us,en Interesting features (some taken from the logitech site, some my own comments)...

One of the most annoying things about wheeled Orbiter vessels is that the nosewheel steering is extremely poor. I've got this great airport Wideawake, but none of the vessels out there can turn tight enough for the taxiways! Sample Solution...
