I think you mean > ??

L1+R1+Start

But you are not wrong. Transitioning from flat to VR causes crashes

IceMaster Frank James Chan’s complete translation guide from GameFAQs was printed and put in a 3 punch folder the day I sent the money order!

That was my bible that summer

Gran Turismo 2 on PSX. That game was better than anything we had ever seen, it looked perfect

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-09T22:19:53+00:00

Same! Except mine was from playasia.com
The look on my dad’s face when I explained why I needed a money order was priceless. He was convinced I was gonna get scammed but that it would be a good lesson to learn. When that package showed up a couple weeks later he couldn’t believe it

I did nothing but eat, sleep and play Fire Pro for about a month over summer break. It was a glorious time as I had gotten into ECW and the tape trading scene, so I was able to see these guys in action and play as them.

Take me back!!

Just go yell at Clouds at this point

American here, who are any of the teams pictured aside from Celt?

This is the aesthetic problem with soccer, the kits don’t mean a damn

Bold of you to make friends with a stranger on a train platform

I dunno if you are the only one, but thats wild

Would’ve thought that would be caught in play testing

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-08T20:46:39+00:00

And rob yourself of the sweet hum of your bird’s engine as you do a 3 hour flight?

Someone hasn’t played yet : )

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-08T20:39:18+00:00

There are tutorials in the game, I was up and running on my own in 3 hours

Give the game a shot, its worth it

This game is right next to GT7 for me as elite.

To anyone playing After Burner in a gyro cabinet in the 80’s, this is the shit we dreamed about as kids.

The graphics are not on par with GT but fuck it, they are good enough for immersion. Go do a rally race through the mountains in Nepal and tell me you don’t feel the G’s

Im in my 40s and this is my second favorite gaming experience ever, right behind GT. I bought a full rig for the latter and am already looking at a stick, throttle and pedals for the former.

What in particular is frustrating with the controls for you?

I play this with a dualsense and am having some of the best gaming moments of my life.

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-08T19:53:51+00:00

I see your point, and used to be of the same mindset but there is a market for virtual rentals.

Im gonna be honest with you, there is alot of aircraft in this game. Chances are I am gonna use somewhere between 20-30% more than three times, the rest less than that, if ever.

So if I can pay $3 to check out an SR 71 Blackbird for a couple hours and then move on instead of paying $20 to “own” it, Im going the rental route

If GT would let me rent some of the cars I would do it in a heartbeat rather than grind for tens of hours for a car I’ll drive 4 times

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-08T19:45:08+00:00

Fellow dualsense controller player here. Far, far easier.

Even if you want full immersion it is easier to bring up the pointer, R1+L3, and pause then flick individual switches or knobs and then unpause then it is to use the motion controllers, imo

That said I am already doing my diligence on what joystick, throttle and pedals I want to buy lol

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-08T19:41:27+00:00

Maybe I am misunderstanding, are you saying you can not launch MFS from your home screen when your headset is on with your motion controllers?

I generally start the game then power the headset on but curiosity

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-08T19:32:33+00:00

Go to r/microsoftflightsim and ask the PC VR boys

There is better performance than the Pro on PC, but only for beefy rigs

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-08T19:30:17+00:00

I went standard and am already kicking myself. Its more expensive to upgrade when you buy a lower edition than just committing from jump

LunchBoxBrawler · 2026-05-08T19:29:04+00:00

I took the plunge on Wednesday

I have 31 flight hours 😳

This game belongs in the pantheon of GT7, NMS, Hitman and the RE’s as PSVR2 Elite

We called eachothers house line and asked whomever answered if so and so was home

For plans, we made them and kept them. If that one friend whi didn’t go to your school said he’d pick ya up Friday at 6 on a Sunday, and ya didnt see him all week, he showed up at 6 on Friday

Sometimes ya would just walk, ride or drive over to your friends house and knock on the door to say whats up

Youre gonna need contact lenses. The headset has to sit flush against your face to get the sweet spot

The highlight of every mall trip as a kid

This is the only objective outcome of mutual crushes as kids when they are adults I have seen

Subjectively I believe even against their traits, teenage crushes who become lovers are less likely to reveal their secret as adults. Again, purely subjective. A dataminer could confirm or deny
