We all know very well the VR ecosystem in the US, but many of us from Europe or the US have more difficulties in imagining what happens after you cross the Southern border with Mexico.

HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th.

FlyInside FSX , the crowdfunded VR plugin for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (2006) , was built well before first-party VR motion controllers existed, developed back in the DK2-era of 2015 as an ad hoc way of jumping into an already highly-detailed flight sim.

But this time, Valve has made it without the collaboration of HTC. The specs list is very similar to the one of the HTC Vive Pro. It is funny because the GTX 970 was the same minimum requirement of the Oculus CV1 , that is a headset that is far less demanding than the Index. Oculus Rift CV1 Headset. Image by Oculus).
