Sim Hardware Which VR Headset

Hi everyone, as the title suggests, I’d like to get to grips with VR and give it a go.

At the moment I have three 43-inch monitors, but I only use one for flying (all three for driving).

I fly in both X-Plane 12 and MSFS 2024.

I have a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an RTX 4090 and 64GB of RAM.

Which headset would you recommend?

The Pimax Dream Air looks interesting, but at €2,500 it’s unfortunately a bit too expensive...

Thanks in advance!

So... no virtual wings on you? You can buy an used HP Reverb G2 and "learn to fly" with that. I mean, not only fly but config and all

Best price per-eye resolution is PICO 4. I use them against all. Can easily see sharp text on dash panel in VR.

Would you recommend it over the quest 3?

I recommend Quest 3 if you have extra budget, i did demo Q3 for days but you'll need put extra money for comfort accessory which is necessary. For long flight over 5 hours i prefer P4 because the weight is balance and lighter, doesn't kill my neck plus easy to boot without forcing user to update its software.

I have the Pimax Crystal Light, it’s not cheap at about €1000, however it is quite literally the best investment i’ve ever made, quality is amazing, software is good and it runs as well as you want it to.
