How do you primarily use MSFS

[Rob G 60]

I am curious how most of you are using MSFS. I kind of stepped away completely, deleted all the software. Then decided to come back into the fold. About 75% of things I had before are now reinstalled.

Trying to figure out what's the best approach for me to start up again and set up my home office.

I have a Quest 2 but at least on my system I have never really enjoyed the level of quality with MSFS.

I feel you're inherently building in bias with your selectable options.

A 32" IPS 4K monitor, a 35" curved, ultrawide OLED 1440p monitor, a 100" projection screen, and a 15" 1080p laptop screen are all 2D, yet give vastly different experiences.

Yeah, this is primarily a VR poll.

Very true but for now I was only interested in who was using flat screen and who was using VR devices. I have good flat screens if I decide to go that route.

I'm aspiring to one day have a 4K wall projector with my TrackIR but those things cost heaps right now.

Or a multi-monitor cockpit setup.

I am curious, why is it biased? I was just curious how many people are invested in VR use of MSFS vs how many are using display monitors. How is that biased?

2 x Asus PA329C 32 inch monitors. No interest in VR, mainly due to vision issues.

Correct me if wrong, but seems like Asobo estimated that about 15% of MSFS flyers use VR. That means 85% are using monitors or projectors.

2d monitor.  I tried using a Playstation VR and I get super queasy after just a couple of minutes.  I was surprised by that seeing as I never get motion sickness in real life.  Maybe it is something specific to the Sony setup, but I haven't invested in VR at all since.  I get the value of VR, but it just isn't for me.  A nice 2D monitor that I can sit close to is immersion enough for me.  I customize my views for each plane and can do what I need.

And that looks very close to the split according to this thread's poll figures (as at 16:40 UTC today).

2D screen but it's not flat. The earth is flat not my screen! 🤕

[Ricardo41 5,949]

2D only. 

In terms of percentages, how many folks are actually playing MSFS in VR?

Had you posted your question and survey choices in the VR forum for MSFS2020 you'd probably get different results skewed toward VR as I, and possibly others not interested in VR, would never see the posting because I never go there.
