I used the Rift for flight/space sim (mostly IL-2 series & Elite Dangerous)

My favorite game is the space simulator Elite Dangerous - but you will need a HOTAS for that game to fully enjoy it (I recommend the ThrustMaster T16000).

No issues turning my head completely 180 degrees by leaning out of my chair and looking behind the cockpit in Elite Dangerous to see the entire spaceship in all it's glory

If I'm going to sit in on a few hours of Elite Dangerous, I'll go to the hassle of putting on the glasses and getting them in to the lens cavity and get it all adjusted

I use mostly to play Elite Dangerous and all I can

To some extent, reliance on the keyboard will go away as developers learn how to write for the device; Elite Dangerous is one of the best at this since looking left or right brings up context sensitive information which goes away when not needed.

Now the resolution is good enough for me that when I was playing Elite Dangerous with it in an SRV I could clearly see the tread pattern of the wheels outside of the glass cab not to mention all of the scenery I took in in awe.

To date I've tried Eve: Valkyrie, Elite: Dangerous (yes I love a good space game!), Luckys Tail, Project Cars and the Dreamscape app.

I have played over a thousand hours of Elite Dangerous in the the CV1 and the DK2, and it's easily my favorite go-to VR game

However for cockpit experiences, at least right now, the vive tends to judder a lot more, with the exception being Elite Dangerous which I prefer on the Vive for the wider FOV, brighter contrast, and no artifacts when I turn my head

Various awesome games are available -- i've spent most of my time in Elite Dangerous and Obduction.

Dirt Rally, Project Cars, and Elite Dangerous are the most compelling pieces of software, but they are also the most expensive, can potentially give you motion sickness, and (based on user preference) may need extra peripherals to be fully enjoyed

I know I felt it a little bit as I was bounding across the hillside in an SRV on some moon in Elite Dangerous with 10% gravity and going airborn.

I just about fell out of my chair the first time I tried turning in Elite Dangerous

Elite Dangerous is a different game with this piece of kit.

I mainly play Elite:dangerous with this thing and it is insane how fun it is

n’t want to scratch the lenses.
