    How do you like using reverb g2 for a longer session? Currently running triple 55" because I was worried about the narrow focus on vr headset but the g2 looks pretty good from few reviews on youtube.

    Of course VR makes me faster -- faster sick :confused:

    I never found a good setting for driving and only a half way usable setting for flying (but here the better immersion made a hude difference for my simulator flying skills).

    Even worse, I got a little faster when I was driving the Nordschleife with deactivated seat mover because of hardware issues...

    I can't tell that virtual reality is making me go faster in races. Sitting at the monitor with a joystick in hand, it is much easier to control the car, but when you are wearing a helmet and playing on a 2dof platform with a real steering wheel, it is much more difficult to control the gearbox and pedals. True, the pleasure of this is more than on the joystick. VR doesn't make me faster in games, but it does make me faster in a real car.

    VR made me slower at first, but once you get used to it it's much easier to be consistent. I'm using a Pimax 8kx, and it's bloody lovely. I can't race pancake mode any more.
