2023 Processors and VR Flight Sims

Re: Looking for rudder pedals

I know that Bear has just bought a set of rudder pedals. I believe he got the Thrustmaster ones. I have a set that I used for a while before I bought my crosswinds and I found them to be good enough to get started with and cheap enough to be replaceable if things go wrong.

Re: How to redirect steam location to update a game

I think that Steam allows you to chose the location of each install - been a while since I tried that though.

Re: Getting double vision in VR

I've had this in the past and had to re-install all my VR apps (Steam VR and Windows Mixed Reality). Merlin had it and needed to also re-install IL2 (I think).

Re: VR - HP Reverb G2 - settings - improved experience ? Seems to work better for me

Buns, the SteamVR settings - have you set that in General or in Application Specific?
