So, there is always the debate about whether to stick with a monitor or go VR in flight simulation. For me, this is obvious! Go VR!…. Ok, hang on, there is more to it then that. In this episode I want to give you some of the benefits and show you that there is a downside to VR. Yes, even VR Flight World admits that there are some downsides to VR. Of course, the upside completely outweighs the downside, but I want to tell you both sides of the story. So, please join me in episode 13, where I get into the reasons you should have VR and some of the reasons you should avoid it.

My Equipment

Oculus Rift 

Logitech G PRO Rudder Pedals

Logitech G Saitek PRO Flight Yoke + Throttle Quadrant

My System

i5-7600k (overclocked to 4.8Ghz)

GTX 1080Ti (used to use the 1060 with 6GB but recently upgraded)

Thanks for listening and I hope you have an awesome day!
