Just a heads up to anyone using flight sims with the Rift or Vive.
Lockheed Martin added built in support for the Rift and Vive in their Prepar3d (P3D) flight sim. This is the spiritual successor of MS Flight Sim but has been revamped. You can change between the monitor and VR HMD with a simple mouse click.
Originally we only saw it on the Dev/Pro licenses but the academic licenses now have it too.
With the other performance updates in P3D 3.4 I have had no issues staying around 60-90 FPS with all my addons. Only downside is some gauges, mainly turbine aircraft, are still hard to read like in DCS.
P3D v 3.4 is definitely worth checking out with the Vive. I spent 2 hours last night buzzing around in the Cub and not a single hint of motion sickness.
