Virtual hello

[V8Griff]

Hi Guys, didn't spot this as I came in via a search for Virtuality.

As some of you may have seen elsewhere, I used to rent Virtuality machines to the corporate and exhibition space so if you went to an event back on the '90s or early'00s it was probably me.

I owned two 1000SD units, one of which had been used by Fabergé for their Hero hang gliding experience and then a SU2000Duo.

I still have one SD1000 unit and the Duo but non working and in pieces but I'd love to get them both working again.

I've been speaking to Simon who has the CS1000 he's restored and we're planning to meet up as I think we could both help each other.

Hope to see some of you guys out and about and chat on here.

Thanks for the welcome

Here's a picture of one of my 1000SD units.

Here's a few monitor screenshot images from an 1000SD WWI dogfight experience called Flying aces. Remember this was all pre digital cameras so these are scanned publicity photographs from Virtuality.

Here's some from Exorex or Heavy metal as it was originally called.

Exorex, Or Heavy Metal as I knew it as was the first VR game that I played and I loved it!!

Its the game that got me in to VR, and I so want to get this working again!

I have the game now, thanks to TRM, and I have spare VR kit, thanks to Gridrunner, and an Ex-VR Technician , who both supplied me with parts.

Unfortunately I cant get it completely working, hence myself and V8Griff will be meeting soon to try to work out how to get at least one system running.

I have not yet played Fly Aces, but I hope to soon!

A lil Trivia on Exorex..

It was called Heavy Metal temporarily before the name change to Exorex.. but the `HM` logo can still be seen in a few places in Exorex.

For instance look at the last picture.. on the far wall, and partially top right.

Also, when the game is finished, and `Judgement is Passed`, the result of the match is on a rotating HM logo

I think its great that they kept that in
