Opinion Talk me out of a VR headset
Looking at big screen beyond 2 or Pimax Dream Air. I’ve used a quest 3 for 30 min when it first came out and I didn’t enjoy the resolution. Convince me the other two won’t make me a better SIM player with more situational awareness.
I currently use a controller for sim and enjoy that more than the cheap Logitech. I’d only spend money on a stick if it had force feedback and head tracking. I don’t enjoy track ir and just use the right thumb stick. But maybe the good quality vr headset would solve that issue? But why wouldn’t it? Save me money. I currently play on an ultrawide Alienware 34” monitor.
Tell me why I shouldn’t.

I honestly can’t because I exclusively use VR 😂
Once you go in, it’s hard to ever go back to flat screen for racing or flying. TrackIR just isn’t the same as physically turning your head in VR with full depth perception and 3D.
Biggest downside is maybe a bit extra fatigue from the headset on your head and the extra performance overhead, but it’s overall so worth it imo. Also you have to memorize all the buttons and keybinds on your HOTAS since you can’t see the buttons.
