Paid Leap motion plug-in for X-Plane 11 native VR
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2018 5:39 pm
Hi!
As you and other simmers already know, Laminar research released beta version with native VR support for both Oculus and Vive. Clearly, it's not very good news for FlyInside, because of the native VR support. Many simmers got used to fly with FlyInside using leap motion controllers and their own hands. Now, native X-Plane VR is better with graphics, but lacking Leap motion integration. According to their forum, where some people requested this feature, X-Plane devs are not planning any implementation in near future. So my idea is simple - since FlyInside already implemented this feature before, why not to splice code and create paid plug-in for X-Plane that could introduce Leap motion to the native VR cockpit? I would be very happy to purchase such product, because manipulation with oculus touch is ok, but when you have half cockpit switches physically present on your desk, and for other switches you have to grab touch controller, that seriously brakes the immersion. Please, share your opinion on this matter.
