Aloha from Maui!
I too have been at this since the Sublogic days and have followed along with every version since. Now, at 82 years of age, I felt this would be my final phase and decided to not hold back. Invested in a high-end gaming system last summer when it was pretty evident MSFS was soon to be released. After it all was finally set up and running, invested in a Honeycomb Alpha yoke and then the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. I thought I was in heaven, but wondered if there was more. Started to investigate VR and after reading forums and seeing things like "you'll never go back to 2D again," I decided to squander my stimulus check of $600 on an HP Reverb G2 headset. It arrived four days ago and I must say I couldn't have squandered any better!!
I only fly GA aircraft, and mostly in Bush/rural areas, and with VR, I am finding it difficult to tear myself away from the computer!! You truly must experience it yourself to fully appreciate how far this technology has come . . . and I believe it will continue to grow and only enhance our enjoyment of this wonderful hobby. I might even give up golf now!!
Thanks to all who contribute on these forums and help to perpetuate everyone's enjoyment of flight-simming.
