Hey Chad and Jerry (and others with a Rift),
Have you downloaded "Air Car" yet?
It's a free demo. Pretty cool simulation of flying around a city
in an air car... reminds me of Blade Runner.
No game, just a demo, but it's pretty neat!

I have seen it. But I have not yet downloaded or tried it. I've
also seen the bladerunner2049 experience. I saw the first one
but I haven't actually tried the second installation.

I just completed obduction. It is developed by the same
development company that brought you Myst and Riven. I probably
put in somewhere around 12 to 15 hours. But if I had to go
through and do it again I could probably complete it in 6 or so.
Completely worth the price of admission for the game. I also
really enjoyed the Solus project and The Gallery: Call of the
Starseed Episode 1. Also if you can get Wilson's Heart. That was
another pretty enjoyable puzzle Style Adventure
If you haven't figured out by my list of games I really enjoyed
puzzle Style games

I really liked Myst and Riven, especially the music. They were
hard though and I often got stuck and had to refer to a walk
thru to get past quite a few of the puzzles.
So I was going to download Obduction, started reading some of
the reviews in Steam and it looks like there was a lot of
dissing the game play. Load times between scenes was really
slow. Something about you have to "transport" a lot in the game
and that would take forever and I guess in some levels you had
to transport quite a bit to solve the puzzles.
That kind of turned me off from trying it, maybe I'll check it
out again.

in the later stages of the game the teleporting can get kind of
tedious, especially the final large scale puzzle. But even with
that annoyance the game was a ton of fun to play and I found
myself looking forward to getting back to the game to continue
where I had to leave off. I had to check a walkthrough once to
figure out where to go after I had solved a section, but other
than that logical thinking should get you through the remaining
puzzles and areas.

Quick question out of curiosity. I tried the Steam VR test
thingie to check whether my system (gtx1060 6GB) is suited for
VR. It said that is ok for VR. I believe that the demands for
rFactor2 might be higher than for that test. What do you guys
think; how would it perform?
I'm not really considering doing VR at the moment, but if a
great deal passes by, I might be tempted to try it.

My specs are amd fx8320 Over clocked to 4.0 Ghz and an amd r9
290 4GB video cars. It runs rF2 vr fine for me. I suspect a vr
snob might find the occasional dips in FPS to be a problem but
they don't bother me one bit. I think going back to a flat
screen for me wold feel like a step backwards, even if I could
have better graphics. The immersive feel of vr trumps pretty
visuals. There should be Black Friday and cyber monday deals for
the rift package at $350. At that point if you have the coin I
wouldn't hesitate to pick it up.

Overhere black friday deals are becoming more and more popular,
but it's not the same as in the states. But if it's not now,
there are general sales in January.
In general, my first upgrade would be brakes. I really want to
go for load cells.

I believe you can also find the Rift on sale for US $350.00 on
Amazon on Cyber Monday. Not sure if the EU version of Amazon has
the same deal or not.

Hey All :), I picked up a Rift recently too (£370 in UK).
Interesting reading all your comments. I have similar PC spec to
you Gerry (i7-4770/GTX970) and was worried about performance but
it's not too bad as asynchronous projection kicks in when it
dips below 90FPS. Ideally want to keep it above 90 but just not
possible with this GPU. Tried fiddling about and optimising
graphical settings. 1.3 supersampling is the most I can go to
without killing FPS. The immersion is pretty amazing but I have
problem with motion-sickness too. Can do about 2 hours max
before feeling unwell.
