Hi, what would you choose if you had the option of only purchasing one? Let’s assume you have high end hardware all ready and all controls all ready. (Honeycomb yoke) 

I have both and my Brunner yoke gets far more use than my VR headset.  I’ve largely determined I’m a 2D screen flyer at this point though, I just prefer it over VR.

How is the Brunner in MSFS? I’ve been on the fence for a year now. Currently using the honeycomb. Do you have the rudder pedals too? 

Vr for me, it changed my simming so much, cant ever fly in 2d, bought a buttkicker recently to get that little extra. Sim heaven for me:)

Buttkicker is good, I got one around 5 years back. Really good. But I just can’t stop, now I’m looking at 6DOF systems….. where does it end 😳😵‍Can’t tweak anymore so, something else has to take over ha!

Yeah, 😂 I feel like Alice In wonder land falling down that rabbit hole. Luckily my better half prevent me from selling the house, invest in a full motion system and buy all the addons ever made. So I can live in my simpit 24/7 connected with a feeding tube to give me nutrition to spend every second of the rest of my life in msfs metaverse :P.

 

It never ends.  With a higher end headset like the Pimax Crystal and a high end system I'd go VR!  (and then buy the yoke lmao)

I've used my same MS FFB2 sidewinder stick for 20 years haha!

It’s good if you’re willing to tinker with the profiles.  I had debated between buying this (I have the CLS-E NG) and the Yoko and ended up buying the Brunner as the prices were similar enough that I figured I may as well go for FFB.  Every once in a while I’ll get annoyed with a setting/profile not working as I want and wonder if I should have kept it simple and gone with the Yoko, but when you get a profile dialed in nicely it is a pretty cool feeling, especially in GA.

I don’t have the pedals, I went Virtual Fly Ruddos there.

I hear ya!  I had actually contemplated building a home cockpit but realized I don’t like to lock myself into a single aircraft type so I’ve bought various pieces of flexible hardware over the years for the immersion factor.  There’s always something new though.  In the driving side of things I just bought my fourth Fanatec wheel so yeah I might have a problem haha.

Are there any preset profiles available? To save tinkering? 

NO QUESTION! VR is the only way to go. Since you already have a decent yoke get into VR, after you get used to it and learn some commands and you bind those commands to extra keys on your yoke, you're off.

There are some you can download yes but not many.  I think it's basically 737, C172, TBM, and a couple of others, maybe Mooney Bravo?  What I do is assign a profile to each aircraft, pick which of the available profiles are the closest, then tweak a bit, mainly just for differences in aircraft speed (ie how quickly the controls get firm as you gain speed).  It works alright for me, though I do wish they had more professionally created profiles for increased realism.

There's more work Asobo needs to do with the look of VR in the sim but given the choice I'd take a VR headset which I have (Reverb G2).

I agree - though are you using OXR at all?  I've found using 150% render in OXR but using dlss is a lot nicer than 100 render and TAA.  better fps and a slight sharpness increase.
