Hey Dan, I'm running:

@Sharkku - It's tough to get into a flame war when you have the superior system...
<ducks... runs...> Hehehe
Tony also said I should get a Rift but seriously, I think the hardware is probably largely equivalent aside from motion controllers now on the Vive. I haven't seen the Rift CV optics though, but on the other hand, the stuff I've been running with the Vive like The Lab, The Blu, Tilt Brush, especially FlyInside, and such have made it really tough to dig in on the nuts and bolts of FlyInside. It's really amazing. The robot repair lab is freaky cool. And I'm sure both headsets are big time improvements over the DK2. At least the Vive is IMO.
The view from the cockpit is a giant leap over the DK2. I was looking back at videos and while you can kind of see it in those, where it really stands out is actually in the HMD. The Tiger Moth was a cool plane but it always had a fairly cartoonish look to it and as I realize now, a lot of the detail was washed out. In the Vive I can see the rib stitching on the wings and in external view, I can see the top wing leading edge slats pop up when I get slow and at high angles of attack. It's really like flying a whole different airplane. The Moth has big gauges but before they were still difficult at times to read. The gauges are just flat readable no problem now. I can't wait to try out the other planes!
You guys will probably have fewer teething problems than us with the Vive, but it's fine. Learning more as we go. But man is the view ever amazing! I can't wait until you guys get yours and we can go flying again!
And congrats to you too, Sharkku! Another new mod!
@Tony - I was noticing that I have my third core nearly at 100%. I think that's what is kicking in the dropped frames for me - that core hitting 100%. I need to see what threads are on that core. We might be back to needing to assign a cores again? My affinity mask is 56 so FSX should only be on my 4th, 5th, and 6th cores. Need to ponder this a bit. Hyperthreading is disabled.
