I got to sit in the VR flight sims here at Sheppard AFB

and they were flat out amazing.. They have the exact same controls, throttle and stick and stuff and are amazingly accurate with landscape and stuff around, although you can pick whatever area or airport you want.. I think ours have choice of T-38, A-10, F-15 and F-16s.. I always flew the A-10..

I actually can flight pretty well and dog fighting is amazing.. I did try to barnstorm under a bridge and didn't make it.. BUT.. in my defense I don't think it was possible to go under the bridges on their VR sims.. For solid structures you hafta put a "collider" on the bridge object and gives it girth or substance that will react like an actual structure - meaning you can crash into it.. To do the bridge correctly, you'd do a collider with the exact shape of the bridge, but that's more taxing on your CPU.. So, lotsa times they just put a solid box collider over the object, meaning you can't fly under it, cuz you'd hit the collider..

That's what happened.. for sure...



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
