Thanks jcomm! He mentioned how having a feedback chair would be great in the video , so I'm now looking into what 'the best' feedback chair is and will post a review when/if I get one.

Hi turbomax, I've heard and read some great things about the Reverb G2 and was torn between the two. I'm planning on getting the Quest 3 when it comes out and will post a YouTube review about it soon after. For now though, the Quest 2 is fantastic and has greatly improved the in-flight experience my Dad is having with Microsoft Flight Simulator. 🙂

Thank you Fielder, I don't believe the Quest 2 has a blue light filter but it does have night mode which we haven't tried yet. Anything to reduce eye strain or tiredness can only be a good thing. I appreciate the suggestion!

I can only speak for our own experience, but it was a huge difference between the two. I wouldn't have kept the headset nor made the video if the cable hadn't worked so well. That said, WiFi worked perfectly with some other apps I briefly tried including SuperHot VR the game.

Hi Fielder, thanks for the comment! I didn't think of an additional battery pack, although using the link cable means the headset remains charged up. Initially, I connected the Meta Quest 2 via WiFi but visual lag/delay in flight was horrendous, and the link cable fixed this. Eye tiredness is the main downside for using the headset, where after 20-30 minutes use we both found we needed a break. I'm currently looking into getting some additional prescription lenses (for my dad) for the headset and will post an update if we get some.

All, Following on from video I made showing the PC I built for my Dad earlier in the year, I’ve now added a VR headset and wanted to share with you how it’s gone: It’s incredible how well it works where I almost got carried away using it myself after setting it up. We are absolutely delighted with it!

haha that made me laugh. My Mum is delighted as she now has the remote control for the TV back 😂

Thank you Simtech95382 that means a lot to me! 🙂 I just read out your comment to my wife and we both agree it is extremely impressive you are still building PC's (for yourself and your son)! The cabling in particular can be awkward to fit.

🙂 thanks @DAD it's much appreciated. Given the video it probably goes without saying, but flight sim's are the only 'gaming' my Dad is interested in. However, his old PC was a huge restriction where he was just about getting by with FSX. This is leaps and bounds ahead!

Thanks Mace 🙂 I am delighted with the combination of the components and how the build has gone. The resulting experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator is exactly what I wanted to achieve for my Dad. I'm looking forward to getting a VR headset for him and will post a video of this once we have it (in the near future).

Thank you sonny147, it is really appreciated 🙂!

Thanks Silicus, I really appreciate the kind words 🙂

Wow I had no idea you could get these, thanks turbomax!

Yes, you're right! I noticed I did this at the time. Thankfully, I didn't apply much pressure before readjusting my hand position. Appreciate the kind words 🙂

Thank you Lawrence, it is very much appreciated! 👍 I also appreciate the multiplayer offer too, I'll mention it to him when we next speak. 🙂
