Is VR for me?

Oh wow, well you’ve certainly put your money where your mouth is. At this point I am not sure what more you can do…. perhaps flying lessons - but hey that’s a whole other can of worms :slight_smile:

LOL, maybe i should have put my brain where my money was ??

Oh well, you only live once. I did have two intro lessons back in the '80s in a Cessna 152 and I can still remember it clearly, they were a birthday gift from family. Too expensive now and I could never afford to fly if i did pass the PPL test.

I’ll stick to the never ending hobby of chucking money at FS2020 I think…

This is a very interesting question. I have been flying in vr for almost 2 years now. I started with the Q2, and then the reverb g2. Few days ago I returned my headset because of warranty reasons (the headphones are not working) so I do not have a VR headset right now. I decided to connect my PC to my 4K tv. I set every setting to ultra TAA (I have an RTX 3090) and wooow… I almost forgotten the beauty of this simulator, because I used to vr “sharpness” and low-mid graphics. Flatscreen 4k looks way much better than vr… And the most important is that I find myself enjoying flying. In VR I usually chasing higher fps, stutterfree expereince, I had to worry about openXRdev settings, openXRtoolkit settings, ingame setting, small sweetspot, DLSS ghosting and blur, swetting in the headset in hot summers, bad head tracking when my room was too dark and many other annoying things… so I always found myself spending more time tweaking settings than actual flying… Now I have an absolute smooth experience and much better graphics. I pop up charts in my iPad, enjoy my beer and fly (yes, having a beer is also not too easy while in VR, once I poured a beer because I accidentally hit it :slight_smile: ). And now I don’t have to worry about anything. At this point I am thinking of giving up VR, simply beacause I dont want to waste my time, at the end it is all about having fun… Dont get me wrong, I admit the immersion of VR, but this tech and hardwares needs an other 5-10 years development to enjoy VR without compromises.

Time to break out the Dremel or X-acto! :grin:

I had an Oculus that I did carve out a little (just the face guard if memory serves), and it worked well.

I have to use a pen and paper. Stuff moves too quickly up there.
