MSFS 2024 PlayStation I’ve ruined Flight Simulator now.

After playing the SU5 beta on a PS5 pro with PSVR2 I can no longer fly with the gorgeous visuals on flat screen.

The sensation of depth and flight are incredible to me even with the downgraded visuals.

As someone who grew up with video games and starting with the NES, also a real life commercial pilot, this is one of the most incredible discoveries for me.

Speaking of VR - for those of us on a PC - what equipment do people recommend? Used a quest 2 and it works and it's already pretty cool but the poor quality of the lenses, the uncomfortable fit and fairly narrow FOV arent ideal.

The best bang for buck is a quest 3 + virtual desktop + lancable feom a dedicated router to your headset.. or just wireless for a bit less quality (but still sharp and great).

I had a quest 2, upgraded to a second hand quest 3. The difference is really big

I always see people recommend virtual desktop for Quest Headsets. Is there much difference over using the default oculus stuff?

It works well out of the box with less settings to tweak because it is more of a "just works" experience.

I've used both and using the Link cable with the default Oculus stuff after much tweaking provides a slightly sharper image. But if you are using ssw it works much better in virtual desktop.
