Thanks for the input guys!

I've been thinking a motion rig might add some realism to my flight/car sim. I use VR and have a Reverb G2 headset. A friend has the DOF Reality H3 motion rig with the upgraded SFU gearboxes. He also uses VR and has a Reverb G2 headset. I've used his H3 a few hours on race cars and flying. It seems to be fairly accurate replicating the feeling of driving the cars. However, when flying using MSFS 2020, it does not work correctly. I'm a full scale pilot and I know that when one does a coordinated turn, you only feel G forces downward into the seat - your body does not lean. But flying MSFS 2020 using the H3, it tilts the seat in the direction of the turn and the tilt remains; this is very unrealistic. The proper response - for a left turn as an example - would be a very slight lean to the right (due to the initial left bank roll acceleration) followed by a return to an upright seat, regardless of bank angle. A steeper left turn/quicker roll rate would cause a larger intial lean to the right with a return to upright in the seat. Does anyone know if this can be set up properly in the SRS software that the H3 uses? From what I saw on the setup screen on my friend's there is no way to adjust this. Or is this an issue with MSFS 2020 providing the incorrect inputs to the SRS software? I wouldn't want to invest $4000+ in the DOF Reality H3 if the flight sim turn behavior cannot be set up correctly.

Thanks all for your inputs. I went ahead and bought it from STEAM. Just finished building and setting up my new computer, so haven't had a chance to use MSFS 2020 yet but looking forward to it. Will probably first build my VR Sim Cockpit and get all the controls set up and working with it before I start using it. I've got an HP Reverb G2 V2 so hope that will be sufficient running off my RTX 3080 Ti and i9-10900K.

Thanks for the input.

Today I'm building a new computer specifically to run VR in MSFS 2020, DCS, and racing Sims. I am not a gamer and it appears most folks are getting their games and also MSFS 2020 from Steam. What is the advantage of getting MSFS 2020 (also DCS and others) from Steam as opposed to just buying MSFS 2020 directly from Microsoft or some other retailer and installing it from a USB stick?
