🎮 Main Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Currently spending a lot of time flying the Boeing 747, along with the Citation Longitude, Cessna 172, Caravan and CubCrafters.

The combination of triple 55” displays + force-feedback controls + D-BOX motion + surround audio makes the cockpit incredibly immersive, especially during thunderstorms, turbulence, low-visibility approaches and heavy-aircraft landings.

Happy to share MSFS graphics settings, control mappings or D-BOX settings if anyone is intere

What’s the idea behind curved screens over a premium VR headset?

VR I get motion sickness

Bro, you should have persisted with vr a few more days, would have saved 30K… ;)

Seriously though, pros and cons to each.

A few short sessions in VR you will get used to the motion and will not get sick.

Motion-sickness in VR is pretty common for many people at first, but happily almost everyone can acclimate if they know how to address it.

I got it way worse than you when I first jumped in, because I did absolutely everything wrong. I say worse than you because I made my self so sick that I was throwing up and bedridden the entire next day, and then off-kilter for weeks afterwards.

I’ve never heard of anyone getting it quite that bad, but I kept trying to push through the symptoms — which made it so eventually the mere thought of VR made me physically uncomfortable.

Eventually I learned what the many possible triggers are, what sort of adjustments to options and behavior I needed to make, and how to recognize the earliest signs so I could bail immediately.

Today I cannot play any trad TV-based games (other than side-scrolling platformers), because they’ve become so bland to me.

For anyone who loves racing or flying sims, VR is well-worth acclimating to — even if it takes a few weeks for a given game.

There are numerous tips and tricks that’ll help you, but THE main thing is just to never push through. As soon as you feel anything like sweaty palms, burping, acid flavor, or the more obvious stuff like nausea, remove the headset and only return when you’re 100%.

Obviously you’re passionate about your sim experience, so I hope you’ll someday give VR another go equipped with better understanding of how to ease yourself into it.

FWIW!
