VR experience improvements
-
First of all congratulations, the PA-38 is very nicely modelled in general. However, at least with my humble Quest 2, the experience in VR is less than perfect. I have two issues in particular:
-
All main gauges are blurry unless you lean forward. I tried to fix the problem playing with settings, but I was unsuccessful. That problem appears also in a some other airplanes, but is fine in, for instance, the A2A Comanche or the Blackbird Cessna 310R. Maybe one can change the LOD settings for the gauges?
-
It is a light aircraft and very twitchy. In turbulent air I got quite dizzy. I usually have no problems in VR; the only time I had similar dizziness was when I practiced helicopter landings for too long. Some airplanes have an option for reduced turbulence reaction in VR, maybe that could be added.
Thanks for the great model,

Hello Peter, you can adjust turbulence in the sim (also if running FSRealistic with camera shake can really exaggerate). I agree on the comment regarding the gauges, they don’t seem to be as clear as some other aircraft such as the 310r in VR (Quest 3 + 4090)

I don't think this is related to my VR setup which is a Quest3 with Virtual Desktop, but I'm finding a lot of the switches are not clickable in the VR mode. For example the carburetor. Some are easier to get around than others. I only started playing with it last night, and so I need to make a list but there are a lot switches not working in VR mode which is annoying. Otherwise a good aircraft for slow flying, and testing procedures. I doubt I will use this feature often, but the walk around seems more of an afterthought, and is missing a lot of animations & information. Hopefully the aircraft will be improved with updates. One other criticism the VR map on the EFB is not the best but it's a nice feature to have.

I bought an INIU Link Cable 5m with Separate Charging Port, VR Cable, instead of using the WIFI connection to connect to the Oculus 3, again using the Virtual Desktop app, and it fixed the issues I was having. So nothing to do with the aircraft. The PA-38 is a fun little aircraft. I was performing some stiff cross-winds landings today in & around the channel Islands. I'm just getting back into Flight Simming after a long break.
