Substitute for 180 degree wrap-around screen?
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2016 10:30 pm
I've only been on your site for less than 24 hours, so forgive me if my interest is too elementary;
I'm in the process of trying to decide how I might install a simulator in my garage (as soon as I clean out a spot) that will give me a seat, rudder pedals, stick (not a yoke) controls and a panel - but, while I've been thinking of a 180 wrap-around screen (I like to look over my shoulder to see my wingtips) I'm wondering if a VR-goggles setup might not work even better than a screen.
Is there somewhere on the site where FlyInside describes what it does or does not do?
Most of my stick time is in sailplanes but I'd like to use my simulator to also do some carrier landings in WWII aircraft. So far, I've been using FSX with a British "ballcap" VR (not goggles)from about 10 years ago but it never has done what I really wanted so I'm thinking it it time to move up into something more modern.
I'sd appreciate your thoughts.
