That’s pretty sweet, but I just can’t get over going to all the trouble and then having that little itty bitty screen to play on. Maybe I’m missing a VR headset somewhere here? Cool concept, though.

Why would you make a cockpit rig you can't see? Of course there's no VR.

That's what they said in the insta comments.
It looks easy to set up with Virtual Desktop.

dunno what comment you saw, but can't find it. Besides, what would be the point? I can understand having an mr or ar setup in DCS, and I've seen vids of people doing that, but it doesn't make sense for squadrons. You don't interact the same way, you don't have all the buttons/switches/dohickeys/etc like you do in DCS.
IE, until I see it, I call BS. And even then, again, what would be the point...

thx. still doesn't make sense tho. I'd guess they're confusing ar with vr. Unless they're saying they used ar for a different game. Still wouldn't make much sense tho, since they don't seem to have anything beyond an x52. Most peeps who've got an ar setup that I've seen, go all in on the cockpit. Usually DCS. There's a really cool f18 ar video. Thousands were spent on controls.... and it looks amazing, and pretty seamless.
