SWEET! setup. Must be an amazing sim experience.

My 32" curved monitor arrived today, a couple PC upgrades and rudder pedals will arrive before the week is out. Looking on YouTube there are a couple of EXTREME flight simmers who have purt near a full-boat 172 or 737 cockpit in their game cave - lol

Discretionary big bucks a wonderful thing I'm told. lol I stopped imagining such a setup here in my bungalow when I found out how much three 55" gaming monitors cost. LOL

The great thing about VR is you can do away with a lot of the sim hardware. If you have a good stick and throttle, all the other switches and controls are at your virtual fingertips. I never realized how annoying the switch locations for lights are on a 172 until I had to find them under the yoke and flip them in VR...

And VR is cheap too...a good VR headset is only about $350 these days.
