The new rig is surprisingly quiet to the point where the Vive base stations are still louder than the computer despite the load I put onto the computer using Flight Simulator, DCS World, and VRChat.

As for the contents of the video, I feel like this is a good time to learn a little bit from the fatal accident that occurred on May 14 in Miami, FL. In the video you can see two of the alternate scenarios I tried or at least had the time to do given how busy I was these past couple of weeks. In both of these scenarios I still crashed, however it is important to note that Flight Simulator will always render any landing of an aircraft that is not fitted with floats as a crash. The scenario with the landing on the ground doesn't take into account physical barriers such as light posts and moving traffic. Either way, I feel like the pilot who died in the crash had very little, if any, options available to him at the time other than to attempt to land on the bridge. If I had landed on the road ahead of the bridge I would have had to deal with pedestrians, vehicles, trees, and light posts. The bridge still had light posts and vehicles, but no other obstacles. The water that was available to the Northwest appeared to be reachable according to the simulator but Air Safety Institute made a good point that we don't know if the pilot and passengers were able to swim. The incident also happened on a Saturday which meant the beach was likely packed and thus not a safe option.

Summary: I believe the pilot made the best decision possible given the circumstances. And as I previously mentioned, we only have preliminary reports from the crash and the National Transportation Safety Board is still investigating the cause of the accident. Until we have the final report from the NTSB, we can only speculate.

As usual, fly safe.
