I can't do flatscreen racing anymore. VR is truly incredible. The main thing for me is being able to judge distances and speeds so much better. First few times I was wondering how I was getting so lucky dodging T1 crashes, then it hit me it wasn't luck, I was just able to react quicker because my brain was able to sense direction changes so much more easily.

VR is definitely the future of simracing and gaming in general, we just happen to be at its early stage. But the VR technology will improve just like the GPUs have which present us photorealistic graphics, which many deemed impossible in the past.

I'm someone who doesn't have any of the gear, no racing wheel, no seat, nothing but a ps5, but man, the sim world looks incredible! Your set up is very inspiring.

never had triples but had the chance to use a few setups over the years and I own an index. VR is a game changer for sim racing. I can race people uncomfortably close compared to my old single screen setup.

Motion + VR is amazing! I find my consistency is greatly improved. My depth perception in regards to breaking points, my spacial awareness and just overall immersion with the feeling of G-forces from the motion seat and VR is unmatched. I do however completely agree on the cons you mentioned.

Great as always! Actually using VR and my old single screen. The firt time I use VR all this world change!! Is not perfect but is absolutely incredible. I used to explain that you are inside the game, part of it. Difficult to imagine if you dont try it. Now my single screen is use only for special moments with friends around, just because dont need the isolation as you well said. Thanks for your videos. I love your voice!!!

I bought a OG Vive in 2017 without any knowing about VR... that blows my mind! Last year i set up a Triple Monitor Setup. It was okay, but far away from VR... Now i have spend more than 7000 hours in VR and wan't miss it! I sold my real racingkart and bought a Motion Rig. In combination with the Reverb G2 and a Powerfull 3090 it feels so close to real race driving.

every time i come back to your channel i am shocked about the quality fo your content! keep up the good work

I was swearing by VR for a year and a half now. It made me feel the car better than before. It made me understand my mistakes. It made me feel what the car feels. That said, I just got a triple setup going... and im loving it. The sheer comfort. I am in no need of taking brakes when driving (and not nausea, just the warmth, the thing on your head, the sweat, the slight discomfort...) Even alt-tabbing is a problem in VR. On triples, everything is easy. When properly set up, the triples are just amazing as well. It took me almost no time to get my head around them and get on the same level where I was with VR. VR helped me understand the car, made me faster, but on triples, i feel a lot more comfortable, and with the knowledge i got from the VR, i can push further.

I had all of those side effect , my first day trying VR I was dumb enough to play the most uncomfortable games and roller coasters, I started to get sick and tried to gut it out. I started sweating like crazy and had a headache for days and a constant whistle in my ears. But I didn't give up and now I can handle anything. I will try iracing with it first time today. Thanks for the video.

in diesem 12 Minütigen Video lernt man mehr, als in einem Schuljahr XD Danke für deine Mühe und für die Super Videos !!

Agree 100% I have had both and went back for the same reasons you stated. You hit the nail on the head.

I love your attention to detail in your videos! Glad i stumbled across your channel!

I cannot stress enough, how important your suggestion on taking an immediate break is, when you start feeling VR sickness. Having handled VR Flightsims very well initially (apart from flat spinning), I was totally overwhelmed by trying VR FPS games. I tried to "push through" and was a wreck for several days, needing way more sleep than my work and family schedule could offer. I race in VR almost daily now, and have regular IL2 or DCS flying sessions, but I cannot convince myself to ever start a VR FPS game again now. Thank you for your awesome content, and the detailed explanations on each topic you touch.

Da du in Deutschland wohnst schreibe ich jetzt einfach mal auf Deutsch ;) Für mich bist du DAS Vorbild was Simracing angeht. Oft gucke ich mir einfach so deine Videos an, weil es mich einfach so fasziniert wie viel liebe du da rein gesteckt hast. Deine Videos machen einfach nur Spaß. Ich würde mich sehr über ein normales Rennen von dir freuen, wo man einfach alles genießen kann. Mach bitte weiter so! Dein Content ist mit das beste was ich im Simracing bereich auf KZfaq kenne! Mein größten Respekt In english: For me you are THE role model when it comes to simracing. I often just watch your videos because I'm so fascinated by how much love you put into it. Your videos are just plain fun. I would be very happy about a normal race from you, where you can just enjoy everything. Please keep it up! Your content is among the best I know of in the sim racing area on KZfaq! My greatest respect!

Awesome video and awesome advice. I don't have triples yet. Need to measure my space properly and see if it will work. So right now I am racing on a 47" LED TV. 80cm away from my face...feels great...but I know triples is where it is at. I use my VR headset for having fun and like you put it so nicely..."Get lost in that world". Love your content. Glad I subscribed.

Such a high quality content, well done! Luckily I dont sweat at all so thats no deal for me. I also dont feel the lag. Maybe I got so used to it. And my rig looks pretty simple, just a OSW and a DIY shifter. So VR all the way for me. One downside for me is that VR glasses have a small sweet spot. So you really have to turn your head to read stuff like lap times etc. I cant forget my first VR experience couple years ago with the Oculus CV1 in iRacing. First track, Laguna Seca. The corkscrew felt so mindblowing. But if I had your rig, I would also go tripple because everything looks so beautiful.

This was a nicely balanced discussion. I enjoyed this👍🏻

My setup is all about VR, although I have a monitor on an arm to swivel for titles that are not VR compatible. I love being fully immersed, and forget about everything else, but I absolutely see the case and need for triples. I don't have too much time on my hands, having 2 little kids, so I don't need it for long periods of time, which works well for any discomforts it may bring. Lately, since updated UI, my favorite has been RFactor2, which is less demanding on VR than ACC. Hope next year the new batch of graphics cards will actually be available so I can upgrade to get all the eye candy! Thank you so much for the amazing content you provide!

1. your content is absolutely mind blowing and as someone who makes video content I have to say you're one of the ones who inspire me. Everything from lighting, to shot angles, movements, edit, colors, and audio is absolute perfection. Thank you for sharing your skills and talents. I agree with everything you said in the video 2. I use mainly VR (Rift S) for my casual sim racing and I gotta say the realism is just pure jaw drop, every single time, every single lap, even now after 2 years it still feels absolutely mind blowing. However it took me around 4 weeks to be able to go around the track at full speed without feeling nauseous, so that was a slow start for me lol 3. I also have a SUW 49 which I tried, used, and LOVED it, so I can imagine how triples like yours would look like. But the sense of immersion and BEING in the actual car is quite a different experience IMO and still nothing beats it. Having said that, if I were to race daily on a usual basis and anything more than a few hours per day I would definitely not recommend VR. The strain on the eye is obvious after long sessions with red-eyes, minor head aches, and eye pain. Keep at it and happy racing ...p.s I am stil waiting for the next gen 3D TVs promised years ago where you no longer need glasses, imagine that for sim racing with triplets wwoww 🤣🤣

Great content as always 👊 so I'm new to vr been using triples for some time. I set up Acc in vr jumped into a practice session with the lamo after a few laps pulled into the pits & was completely blown away when the pit crew were running around in front of me changing tyre's. For me it felt so real sticking with vr 😍

First time I tried VR was with a racing game and I got VR Sickness pretty quickly because I wasn't focusing on the drive I was too busy looking around at the world in awe. I enjoy VR now but more often just play on a single 32 inch curved display. One of these days I may get triples. I'm sure I would love it.

Love the content man. VR all the way, just for the fact of 3D. That alone makes it worth it for me. I think it gives you an advantage. I've only been sim racing for a year (if I'm really lucky an hour or two every few days) and I'm putting up top ten times in AMS2 regularly.

Amazing content as always!!

A fantastic video. Love the enthusiasm as always...keep it up boss!

What a setup man! INSANE!🙏

I don't always watch KZfaq channels, but when I do, I watch Race Beyond Matter.

nice video! first time i saw it actually. I also have both VR (Rift S) and triples. AMS2 is amazing in VR, but pretty much everything else requires too much tinkering with settings to get the maximum out of the experience. Eventhough i have a RTX3080ti. I also have quite a nice simrig, with buttonbox and DDU, it's true you miss all of these when racing in VR. Quite a nice collection of wheels you have there!

I can't comment on triples, I would love to try them one day, but VR is just so immersive, and can only get better with headsets that will have high clarity, being able to look into the apex is amazing. Great video yet again mate!

You are my Sim-Racing-Guru. You are really an inspirational guy and your Vids are amazing - Thank you really much. After first time use a VR-Headset in a Simracing game I was completely fall in love with this combination. Even with a Joystick the immersion was fantastic. Since this experience I am investing in Simracing a lot of time (and Money) and i love it :). I am still a slug on track but its a lot of fun to drive in a AC-League with others. For me because of no space for triples no way to come away from VR. I have tried it with a single 32" curved, but the immersion of VR is soooo much better. Only the visual quality is a little bit a "fun-breaker" for me. I am now waiting to get a alpha mini with gt4 wheel and than I am f....g happy with my setup (for now ;)).

Absolutely the best channel in my opinion. I love it when he mixes how the body perceives the real environment, VR or triple screens with racing. He apparently has some background about the science of the biology.

Very helpful video. Thank you so much.

Great explained buddy! It's just like when you are on a big boat, with the difference that we feel the motion, but the eyes detect no movement. I was açtually motion sick for 15 hours after my first try in VR.. But it was too good, so I kept going back every day for 14 days.😅 After that I've never been motion sick.🎉😃👌 I've gotten both faster, safer and more competitive one track since I got VR do to like you say, depth perception, spatial awareness and how natural it feels to drive in VR.💪😍👌

This is actually one of the things I have been really torn on. An oculus quest and link cable right now, just to give VR on the PC a shot, isn't that expensive. I'd be able to give it a go and see how I like the immersive experience. I've run triple screens before and love it, but I always had complaints about how narrow the view was vertically. I'll keep this video in mind when I do decide to take the plunge and try out both setups again. I just got myself a cockpit and direct drive wheel, so this is probably the best time to figure out which I prefer more.

I had a bad motion sickness from vr, 5mins and i felt very sick, what helped me was to drive in tracks with minimum elevation changes, and adjust the graphics so the fps dont drop below 70. I still get motion sickness if i drift for about 20mins but can race for over an hour without problem. Hope it helps anyone having motion sickness.

Another great video brother…and a nice science lesson as well👍

Be interesting to Know your point of view 12 months later as there new headsets out and new graphics cards out too! 😊

excellent video. i just switched over to VR and it's amazing!! better than 3 monitors in my opinion

thank you for your insight, i'm a beginner slowly building up a humble sim setup. been using my quest 2 for most of my racing because it was the best option i have right now to get a decent race going (my only gaming monitor is a small 24" monitor) and for the most part i do quite like the quest 2 for VR experience, althoug now with more time spending racing, I'm starting to really struggle with certain aspects of VR (or at least the quest 2) namely comfort of wearing, actual graphics (the quest 2 graphics are really bad compared to a screen), and seclusion from the outside world. been really considering making the plunge to a triple monitor setup instead of investing in a better VR headset. but wasn't sure if it would be worth it or if i would end up disappointed with the end result. but seems like most people share the same conclusion that triple has many advantages over VR except for the total immersion. great content and what an amazing setup!

Since a couple of days I use the Varjo Aero. Truly unbelievable experience, insane!!

Great video, I'm celebrating 💪 I think you have to try vr for sure

I'm driving on 32" 4K and Oculus Rift. Your explanation ist just perfect. VR for Immersion better Carrfeling and positioning. Monitor for longer Races. My dream would be to try the HP Reverb G2, because this one should have the clearest View (on VR under 1k). But I can wait a little more time for falling Prices for GPUs. I also driving GT Sport on PS5, would be crazy if the new PS VR2 will also work with PC ... time will show.

Iracing new support to OpenXR gives very nice performance boost for VR headsets supporting it. With AMS2 and ACC you need to use OpenComposite and toolkit then to modify picture shown but performance benefits are also clear. ACC allready almost starts to be in limit to be playable with VR :)

I feel like I've been tricked into learning and it's a good feeling. Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant 👍👍. Been racing all day on AMS2 and just finished a 1 hour stint in VR 😁. I'm gonna refuel (burger & chips) and go again - watching your channel is so bad,,,,, your so bad, your so inspiring 😁👍😁👍. I love all the Vids you do. Keep up the brilliant work.

It took 15-20 minutes a day for about a week to get over my VR sickness now I can have 8 hour sessions without issue. Still close my eyes during a spin out as going backwards in VR makes my stomach lurch lol

VR and motion rig is awesome and removes some of the bodies disbelief which can cause sickness. No g forces but feeling the bumps and curbs is excellent.

Great informative Video!Keep the good staff. About the input lag you are talking about in VR ,you can apply offset = no lag.If you dont have motion , you do relay to drive from what the ffb tells you + picture - in the end you need that sens to be oversaturated ! to fill that empty feeling of not feeling g-forces or some movements of the chassis(because in the end your steering input is couzed of what body is telling to your brain where the chassis is moving).If you get a blind men they have increased hearing abilities due to the fact that they cant see.the same is in sim-racing with oversaturated DDs torque(you compensate due to lack of body feeling). Beside that frames goes with the ffb , so in tripples you can go higher fps=more ffb per frames but if the game engine like Iracing sends 60hz (you get 60fps=60 frames with ffb) ,ofc you can you use irFFB to multiplied.About the resolutions of VR that all ppl are talking . Think about something ,before 20 years the TVs availble on the market was with less resolution then the actual Vrs , and we didnt find them pixalated , thats because the pucture sent to them was equal or less to the resolution that they can project- even if they pushed above it was slitly.I have this conclusion after testing by reducing track/car resolution with Oclus CV1.Thas my 50cents - happy driving

I really liked that science explanation lol

VR and simulation in any kind of cockpit are a perfect match. Also, putt putt golf is great too. haha

Awesome video as usual! At what distance from your eyes is your center screen positioned at?

i started sim racing because i bought an oculus, over the years i got tired of the quality of life issues with VR, i transitioned to an ultrawide then to triples, ended up back on the ultrawide for reasons, i am glad i gave up VR though as i am much happier on screens, i now have a single 43" 4k monitor and love the extra vertical screen size

A big advantage that people forget with vr is that you can move your head. That means that you can move your head sideways to look around the a-pillar or the halo in an open-wheeler. That makes a big difference to triples in my opinion

Awesome as always bro! I'm slowly getting into VR, had my Pimax 8K plus for some time now but still struggling to get a sharp picture, it's the only thing putting me off. Pimax are doing a trade in later this year for their new 12k headset, will be interesting to see if the current GPU's can run it :).

Great video as usual and very well put 👌🏽 For me personally, I realised what resolution snob I am when I tried VR. I just can’t deal with the small focus point and overall lack of quality for sustained period compared to my triple 2k 32’s. I just enjoy doing a few hotlaps in VR for some fun and immersion but am not interested in actually racing in VR at all.

At first I thought I was going to be able to handle it but it seems that it's going to take quite some time 😅 Great video, thank you for the information.

Holy shit !!!!! When I suggested you do a video like this on your last video I had no idea what a mind like yours might create. Without doubt the best, most intelligent and reasoned exploration or VR vs triples I have ever seen. Informative, intelligent and able to relate to what people want / need / dream about. KUDOS!! You managed to sum up and actually address all of the things that I had wrestled with in choosing which direction to go. Personally I have gone with a scary ' all in ' investment on enhancing my rig with a full VR with an Aero. You describe exactly why perfectly! The nightmare is you also tease the idea of what it would be like to experience the immersive real world environment you have created… For a while that will have to wait as the detail you have created is immense. One day I hope I may do it This video proves to me you with out doubt are the best Sim racing channel out there- everyone else has a LOT to learn from your approach Thank you! ( BTW how is the Patreon coming on??? )

The most comfy headset so far for me is the pico 4, high res, has a built in fan and don’t sweat, combined with yaw2 motion rig, motion plus vr should be the end goal for any sim racer. Going up the mountain in Bathurst feels so real because of the yaw2 has the most degrees of pitch and roll for its price point. Going almost sideways on a banked turn is surreal. Now I just need a wind kit and bass shakers to complete.

Interesting point about latency! I went from pretty rapid triples and got immediately faster with VR, though, I found the VR experience so much closer to driving my track car so perhaps that's the reason. Nontheless, brilliant video :)

VR completely changes the game literally, especially in the sim world, both racing and flight sim! Would love to see you try the Varjo Aero and give us your impressions of that headset, I'm sure you'll see a huge improvement over the Index

Thank you 👍

VR all the way. I don’t quite get the latency you describe and I am way quicker in VR than on screens. I’m lucky that I don’t sweat and my fan system keeps it comfortable. Your con tho of the isolation of VR is actually a pro for me. Locking me into the cockpit of a car without worrying or getting distracted with what’s going on around me is a huge help for concentration and immersion. While I love your setup I agree most of it is not useful if you can’t see it. I’m going to move to a hybrid system that way I have both but I generally just can’t give up the depth perception especially when I’m in packs of cars it all feels better just feeling the distance between things in VR.

You persuaded me to give VR another try. Thanks. Driving the Nurburgring for 90 minutes without wrecking seems impossible to me. One day…

As a scientist/engineer, learning about neuroscience with regards to a fun sport makes retention of information much more intuitive.

Hey Steylian. As always amazing high quality Content both informationwise and productionwise. You know i love your work as a creator and the style you havbe in creating your videos. For me its triples all the way, mostly because i tend to race purely Endurance Races in competative leagues and i cant stand the eyestrain and heat under a VR Headset for double or even triple stints. But imersivewise VR is unbeatable and when the newer generations get much crispier image quality it will get even better. PLeas never stop what youre doing and as always a hug, much love for you and your family and a great rest of the week my brother.

Just do both, VR and triples, it's what we all love anyway :) .. also best sim racing channel in the known universe!

thank you again DUDE!!!!!! i want try vr so bad!!!!!

i just returned tech for the first time ever, the reverb g2, was kinda ok when it worked but was pain in the ass and never felt like I could just jumpinto a quick race, more that had to set time aside for a vr expereince whilst hoping ofr no black screens. After returning it, I feel it was okbut I aint gonna miss it

I live my vr and will never change it lol. Love ya bro. I also have wind sim running along side it with out it vr is dam hot

Hey just wana say I’m a big you and boosted media have inspired to go full on into the Iracing actually busy getting my setup hopefully ready soon 👌

As a VR user and a person who sweats a lot in general - I tend to have a bit different experience in that regard. I've raced with Rift S, and it was manageable but tough. Then I switched to Quest 2 - and surprisingly it does not generates _that_ much heat. I've done VLN solo in VR and it was quite comfortable. Of course after 5 hours I needed to change my socks too, but that's kind of expected when you drive for 5 hours )

Interesting points. It comes down to personal preference but for me it is VR 100%. The immersion is unreal, the sweat, heat and discomfort is something I experience in my real life race car so I was blown away how close it was with a VR head set. Combined that experience with a motion sim, you have pretty well tricked your brain to get you in the zone. Absolutely no way playing on a flat screen anymore.

My first VR experience in a racing game was the nordschleife, what I noticed immediately is that I tried to keep my head still. It took a few turns before I actually started moving my head.

You have some good points there. I am racing in vr. (Started with one Screen - but that was not enougth) since I don't have to space I went for VR. It's impressive how less space you need if you drive in VR. But you need real good hardware to get perfect results. Unfortunately I also like to build stuff, so I can't see it. But will you where talking I realized to best simracing setup would be AR - with that you can enjoy your Rig and the best 3D view. But as always there are pro's and con's for both. I can also enjoy a 6h session without a break. BTW: If you have trouble with motion sickness - set everything up to get a CONSTANT framerate (the highest framerate your VR can handle).

Great video :) I race on A curved monitor myself & VR :) & Both are great in their own way :) But there is just something special, with being "in" the car 🤩🤩

VR also feels like a helmet, to me the only con is the sweat. Love the content mate, keep it up!

Hey Steylian Thanks for the quality video as always. In your opinion would you say the Valve Index is the best VR for Sim Racing ? I am looking to get a VR set up as I currently run triples and love the current setup but I would like to have VR as an alternative. Just keen your opinion having tried various VR devices.

Having raced with triple CRT monitors and TrackIR about 30 years ago i have to say VR really changed my POV (LOL) The BIG negative for VR is that 1) it takes a while to get used to and for your brain to learn 2) you need the best GPU money can buy 3) It will take a lot of patience to get the best graphics setting for each sim 4) if you dont put on your HMD the right way even with all the former points correct without that sweetspot it was all wasted time and money.....But once you get it all right you are in another world. I often step out of my car in the pits and just go to the pit wall and watch the cars go by...LOL I LOVE THE FUTURE !!

From the first minute I put on a VR headset I loved the sensation of movement. I wonder what makes people different in that respect?

im so hyped for gt 7 and i hope psvr 2 come out soon after or end of this year. i love vr games

i enjoy racing in vr but i recently changed to triple 4k 65" 144hz mini led panels similar to wills from boosted media with sigma intergrale dk2 motion kit on a trakracer tr8 pro chassis. the fov on triple 65'' is crazy.

I personally dont have experience racing on flat screnes because i was straight into vr, but i do have experience with flying on both a d i can say without a doubt i would never go back to flat screens on the flying, its just so much more real feeling.

Cool video!! I started with one screen. That didn't satisfy me.. Then I bought VR glasses and wow..!! The immersion is unbeatable! I am sure there is nothing better in connection with motion and tactile feedback. I could sit a little lower, was a little faster and was able to estimate lateral distances much better. However, it was very hot and rather unsuitable for people who wear glasses. Even with contact lenses it was not optimal. And most importantly, you don't see the periphery. You know my rig, I'm just as crazy as you are, that's why I ride triple screen now and I'm totally happy. But it's not out of the question that I'll buy VR glasses again.. :)

As a VR User for a few years now - this was another fantastic video, RBM - and I definitely agree that VR is not for everyone..... But could i ask you about the footage from 5;15 pleas. Is this 'stock" footage from one of those common websites - or is this a VR program that I have personally never seen before? Cheers RBM. [:]-)

As a VR user I can say it would be impossible for me to go back to monitors. Also your channel is best no doubt about that.

There's no sweating in VR while driving if you get the attachment fans that blow air down on your face. This attachment is available on the Quest2 so YMMV. It's subtle but it works.

Just say that I bought a vive pro 2, this is in my opinion the biggest upgrade that I never seen in video games! As a driver, I complety see the sim games in a different way: before I had the feeling that sim games were real about their behavior but I found always really diffuclt to feel what speed you are, how the road is, how the brakes work good or not... I was always too fast on new tracks! But now, I drive as in realty, you know this feeling that you can push so much more but you know that you are not a pilote so you prefer to be carefull ;) I feel my car when she slides, she bounces or move a really little bit ! (Sorry for my english, je parle baguette de Paris)

Excellent informative and unbiased video. Got a sub from me

Great work, superb video as always. But you just confused me more than ever. I am on VR right now for lack of space, but it is evident that I need a Triple setup also. My wife is not happy with you.

I never had binocular vision, my world is flat all the time. On the flip side I don't really have to make a decision here, triple monitor is the way to go. I do have a VR headset for Beat Saber and such but never felt comfortable driving, my lap times an cosistency took a big hit, and I'm pretty slow to begin with. This channel is a gem btw, thanks for the awesome content!

I love VR and I think it will be much better in future. High resolution in VR makes a difference. We are still far away from "retina" resolution in headsets. Micro OLED will also improve immersion during night time racing. And hopefully we will get much vider field of view in future as well.

Just picked a VR headset up. Complete gamechanger. I tried a sim inbetween actually being in the racecar. Working on optimizing my settings still but it’s close

VR helps me get my daily dose of F1 and GT-Racing. Fortunately I usually don’t get motionsickness. Next I’ll get a full motion platform hopefully motionsickness will be a thing of the past?

I have not raced in VR since the DK2 days so it may be different for me now (better GPU better headsets) . I could race ovals fine but road courses made me sick even if I didn't get sick it just made me feel off for a while. I even tried motion sickness pills and the little patch behind the ear people take when they go on boats. Funny thing is I can live on boats with no problem. Really just got back into sim racing heavier this year and ordered triples this week. Might grab a used headset to try it again.

Two of my drivers use VR full time for sim practice before a real race. I tried both of their setups and really enjoyed it. Problem for me was I race competitively on WSS which I didn't think about beforehand. I went ahead and purchased my own VR headset and during testing it was great like before! But when it came time for my first race in VR it was horrible. Within minutes I was sweating and the lens began to fog up. Thankfully it was only a 12 minute sprint. Then I was struggling to find my Brake Bias & TC knobs during qualifying and the race. This distracted me every time and caused me to lose consistency. I told the team I was selling my headset and they were totally confused. I had to explain that for my use it wasn't practical. If you race and interact with your sim equipment often, stick with monitors. If you like to just practice, hotlap, or cruise around then VR is for you! P.S. - HP Reverb G2 for sale w/ BoboVR M2 strap!

For whatever reason, the solution that will merge VR and triple screen is already obsolete. I'm taking about Nvidia 3D vision. Yes the one with 3D glasses. Imagine throwing this in the conversation.

Great explanation on VR vs Triples. For met it's VR now. Why? Indeed, the immersiveness. I don't care too much about all the buttons and stuff, or I would have to go as far as you before I would be satisfied. And man, that's a damn project. So maybe it's a form of protection to not go down that route. I would be broke 🙂 I just want to feel like I am really in the car. For me VR has that more than triples. I want to get the feeling that I am going downhill or uphill, seeing that depth. When I turn my head there's a car next to me, the image changes when I turn my head. The current image (Reverb G2) is good an enormous improvement to say 3 years ago. But I would really love VR with a bigger Field of view (Pimax is no good imho) and with a larger sweetspot. I have to turn my head too much currently , and the clarity and reaction times of the view should be improved. So can't wait for that to happen.

Thanks very informative video. I'm on a tv and since years I'm thinking about upgrading to tripples. I guess you forgot one point though - space. Tripples are using a lot of space compared to a VR headset, my question though, can you also use the Headset in Windows, meaning get rid of all monitors or do you still need one and only use the headset in games?

I'm definitely #3. I've been racing in VR for 2.5 years now to the point I can comfortably do endurance races with stints up to 3 hours. At first it was sweaty, but getting your body used to high performance can really reduce how hot you are. Not just by racing but also working out, fitness, jogging, etc. Get fit like a real racing driver and you'll be much more comfortable racing.

I race in VR daily for at least 2-4 hours and more when time is permitted. I live in a hot country and sure, it can get pretty hot in the VR HMD however, I have a large Hatari 3 speed fan that is height adjusted to blow are directly at my HMD. Now I never sweat and no, I do not use my aircon. Easy remedy, try it and see.
