Sadly, seems there's so far no sales in the Rift Store, but Steam does have tons of offers, and many Steam games and apps support native Oculus drivers. 

My recommendations would be;

Tempestfall 20% off (supports native Oculus drivers):

Furious Seas 30% off:

If you have some Wands lying around, for The Golf Club it might be a great idea to use them. I was surprised by the extreme hardware requirements for the golf game, but it seems there's some short 3D grass which might explain that, lol - I think the grass is quite thick. Apart from that the game may be very un-optimized, but seems like a nice sim (including the physics). If you buy the 2D version, you can make you own courses and port them to VR. 

Btw, some screenshots from the VR version:

Yeah I would have to be able to get Knuckles to work with it.

Fixing to head out now for a round of golf !

Tried VTOL, not bad, got close to solid 90 fps using res 200%, but that's using the RTX 3090. Did crash a few planes trying to get airborne, lol. 

There's no Index finger tracking, but you do use hands and fingers to press buttons or operate switches. Elite still has the steeper learning curve I think... 🤔 😁 

I'm keeping the game for now, but not sure it's more than 7/10 or 8/10 in my book...

Merry christmas to all of you for sure 🎅

Great to hear from you - if I remember correctly you were working on a new rig - did you finish the build?  

[KlodsBrik]

Yeah I did, except for new GPU im still stuck with my 1080 but thats fine.

 Not gonna buy into a new gpu till I find one at a great price tag.

But besides that I love my new rig, and quest 2 + airlink is such a bliss. 😍

Very nice! A 1080 + A Quest 2 with AirLink is easily the best VR setup on the market. Going tetherless with near non-existent SDE and Glare is unrivaled. That was always one of the reasons I never upgraded my GPU. There's just no point to put all those beefy graphics behind a Screen Door Effect. Which makes a 3080/3090 coupled with an Index (and its noticeable SDE) very underwhelming imo.

I am hoping to see some further improvements with a potential Quest Pro. Perhaps then I will finally shell out more $$$ for a new GPU!

Proshop does have some relatively inexpensive models - but you have to be quick - they launch at 2PM when having arrived - and first-come, first-served basis (you cannot pre-order, you have to be there) - usually sold out in a few seconds:

They also have one cheap 3060 Ti:

But you have to be quick/lucky there too 🙂
