A long time ago (late 1990's), while at a trade show, I saw a similar VR headset demoing a flight simulator. It was amazingly good. I can't remember the name of the manufacturer, but I walked away fully convinced that the technology would be available "any day now".

Somewhere along the way, VR headsets simply... fell off the radar. Then the flightsim industry vaporized, with Microsoft laying off their flight sim development crew (twice), and most of the sim hardware manufacturers moving on to other products. I think the only survivor has been X-Plane, but that's really just a one-man operation.

I'm glad to see something happening on the flightsim hardware front again. TrackIR makes my Condor experience much more immersive, but a good VR headset could probably do even better if done properly.
