Default TA + Condor + Occulus Rift = Awesome

OK I have an even better idea!

Instead using this technology to make a simulator more like flying, how about we make flying more like a simulator?

Just picture it: You get into the cockpit of your glider wearing the Occulus Rift which is streaming video from a camera mounted up on the tail. (this could be wireless or hard-wired up through the fuselage... your choice). Now you can fly around in a third-person perspective!

You can even toggle the "tower view" (just like in Condor) to bring in video from your faithful crew down on the ground who is following the path of your glider with another wireless camera!

You could even switch over to the camera mounted on your friend's head who is at home watching the Superbowl so you can check in on the game during those long, uneventful glides between thermals.
