The problem is you need all the other stuff like external sensors and controlers with that one.

As @Aginor pointed out the only solution here is RiftS.

It depends what one will prefere. E.g. you can always run VTOL VR instead of DCS :slight_smile:

AHHAHHA Exactly, to run VR I’d have to remove all of them from my games! :rofl:

I think if you don’t have a headset already, then it’s probably better to go for a Rift S rather than the Odyssey Plus at this point already. The O+ has been out for about 7 months before the newer S, plus the Oculus software is smoother, and the Rift S screen/pixel layout seems ideal for sims. The sound and some launch bugs are the downside, but that’ll get sorted out.

As an upgrade step from a Rift (plain) or a O+ it’s harder to justify, but I suspect the Rift S will be a bit cheaper in about 6 months anyway.

I’d agree with fearless. The Rift S sounds like it has similar image quality to the Odyssey+ but has to be more comfortable and is in the Oculus ecosystem. Between those 2 I’d chose the newer offering.
