Default Condor2, inbound on final glide!

Chris, I'll ask again:

Is their any plan to make Condor 2 capable of supporting Virtual Reality (Vive or Rift)?

VR is a TOTAL game changer in flight simulation - it changes something like Condor from basically a procedural trainer (albeit an excellent one) to pretty close to a full-up flight simulator.

And compared to the cost of a big screen setup (especially a multi-screen setup) a good VR headset is cheap.

Head-tracking systems like Track-IR - or worse, using a hat switch or mouse to move your viewing direction - are handicaps for initial training - solved by the natural viewing habits learned in VR.

Please - consider adding VR capability as soon as possible!

There was quite a bit of 'discussion' about that on the forums and I think the official answer was no there are no plans for VR, but they are open to considering it in the future.
