X-Plane VR Flight at Night with the Oculus Rift (GTX 1060)

October 18, 2017 by Dan Leave a Comment

On this flight, I flew over Seattle again. I wanted to show the amazing detail that you get when flying at night. It is a crazy experience. I started the flight just as it was getting dark. The lights on the airport are incredible. Again, I was running the sim on my i5-7600k with a GTX 1060 (6GB) and 16 GB of ram. The sim ran smooth. I was able to maintain between 30 and 40 fps. You do get the odd stutter, however I am flying over Seattle on a setting of high for graphics. I turned down any reflections and turned off other aircraft. I usually can have other aircraft running as well, however I like to keep it clean while I am trying to record in the background. System i5-7600k GTX 1060 6GB 16 GB of Ram (DDR4) (I have overclocked the graphics card and CPU slightly)

If your interested in using the
Oculus Rift , please check out my link. I want to be 100% transparent, and let you know that I do get an affiliate commission from the link. I plan to put out lots of great content in the future and would appreciate it a lot if you used my link.

Also, here is the Yoke and Rudder Pedals I use in case you were interested in that as well.
