Do you currently use VR in your current flight sim?

Darn Devon, that wouldn't work for me. I cannot wear contacts! Although it is a cool idea!

So long as nobody googles my senior picture, that would be cool

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Close, but need a silk shirt and gold chain. Lol. ( after paisley, before wife beater t's)

Wow! Even I can't believe this.  I was even shocked at 25%

On the other infamous poll VR was at 44% total last time.

So the two pretty much agree with each other. I knew VR grew alot this year with the new headsets , but from news online. 

"... Year over year, monthly-connected headsets on Steam are up 80%" ~Forbes 

so this is real. And nuts

There's a large poll at the Org (the x plane main forums) and they found only about 1% of the polled users has used or is using VR....that's pretty low.

 

X-plane is the last major sim that added VR support, and it has the worst VR support. Very framerate unfriendly. So it's natural its VR users are few.

If you go to the Aerofly FS 2 forum, much more VR users there. If you go to the FlyInside forum, all of them are VR users.

There is a new thread about VR on Reddit flightsim sub group, most people are very happy to see Microsoft's new positive attitude towards VR implementation at launch. Users of Reddit flightsim sub group might be more "casual" flight simmers than those of Avsim, but they are flight simmers after all. Please see this thread:

No idea what you are talking about XP's VR there. Yes, it is not as performant as Aerofly, but I get much better frames than with P3D and, of course, the touch control implementation is very good. Add to that the community tools such as Avitab (that allows you to have an EFB with Navigraph in VR) and you have the current standard for VR implementation in flight-sims.

If MS follows suit, I'd be very happy.

I think thanks to this new poll, we will find out that 99% of the simmers are using VR :)) If this poll is not reflecting reality, what is the point of it?

[jcomm 5,890]

No, and I really do not plan to ever use it in this encarnation, unless forced to in the day there's only that option available.

Meh- VR implementation should be delayed until VR headsets can produce 4k images at 60fps- the current tech with the screen door effect won't do the visuals of new sim justice.

Nice attempt though at being provocative.

The Pimax 8K-X have 4K screens per eye and 170 degree horizontal FOV (will release in december 2019). My 2080Ti/9900K combo can run this. In one year (when MSFS2020 is released) I can upgrade my 2080Ti .... so running dual 4K screens in VR is doable. And what about the VR hardware in 2 years - and still no VR support in MSFS2020?

I will ignore the "Nice attempt though at being provocative" insult.

and what is the price for upgrading hardware every year?
