The AC-130

[CaveMonkey]

This actually sounds bad ass!

[Scruffman]

I love this idea.
I feel like a system where you can pilot the plane to a position and either start an orbit on the spot, or have a button where you can indicate on the gps where an orbit needs to be, all while switching to the TV seat. This will replace the player pilot with an AI that will orbit where it needs to.
In COOP however, the TV operator and the pilot are 2 separate players.

Why would you want to play the AC-130 in VR?
Its gunner will stare at a virtual flat screen for the entire game, at that point why even use VR

Why wouldn't you want to rain down hellfire from a plan armed to the teeth with weaponry that can turn many vehicles into metal containers filled with cherry jam?

The AC-130 gunner operates the guns with a flat screen. It defeats a lot of the purpose of having a VR game.
Just generally I'm fairly against anything that's VR that has the player spending most of the time literally looking at a virtual flat screen.
Why not play it with a mouse & keyboard on a desktop monitor?

Its not the same...Vr Gunship would be very cool to swap between pilot/loader/operator

[CaveMonkey]

Im saying a 4 person Operation with 1 pilot 2 tv operators and a munitions operator

[CaveMonkey]

Besides, those 2 games look like complete bullcrap id rather have the vtol vr experience

I don't think it's a good experience to be interrupted by having to switch to the loader to manually reload the gun when enjoying the shooting.

Why do you think the experience of being a TV operator with motion controllers is better than using a mouse & keyboard?

I'd rather actually feel like I'm there controlling that same flat screen inside of the AC 130 instead of sitting on my chair watching my monitor in the least immersive AC 130 experience ever

Helicopter gunners don't just keep looking down, otherwise why are they sitting in the front seat with a good view?
They have multiple interactive MFDs, and mostly look out and use the Head-Mounted Display to target enemies.

So you want to sit in front of a screen on your desk in a room, wearing a VR headset on, just in order to use another flat screen in a virtual room.
All you need is an AC-130 environment in your SteamVR home and use that virtual screen to play desktop AC-130 games.

Oop I think you pissed 'em off. Eventhough they are objectively wrong, they still want to fight this fight. Best to just leave.

It's a great idea and would be great to add to the roster of controlled aircraft.
Hopefully we can see some opfor aircraft get some love too.

Oh trust me I stopped listening to this guy a while ago.

Well, I finally managed to find such a VR AC-130 game.

For the same reason you do the same thing as a gunnner in the AH-94, dont you?
