      With the Quest 2 standalone I can play some games like beat saber just fine, but others make me want to sit down and vomit in 10 minutes. With PC games like Assetto Corsa I haven't had issues at all, but I got a used 3090 to do it (before I had a 2070, it could do it but stayed at ~70fps which is at the edge for me, I guess that a 2080 is enough for simracing games).

      Ok, as a dude who has spent/wasted a lot in looking for the utmost comfort and best battery life for my Q2 experiences, I have tried almost all popular headstraps, I can say the following combination is the best, most comfortable and lasting solution ever: BoboVR M2 Plus (the version with twin battery pack) and their fitness facial interface that includes an extractor/ventilator so the lenses dont fog, is the best thing ever, I can spend hours on the sim racing, no VR face marks, oh also got the Globular Cluster 2023 Version Stereo Bass VR Headphones, got all from amzn, around 200 bucks in investment for all things but it was really worth it, more than all the money I invested in other solutions like the frankenquest, elite headstrap with battery and one from kiwi designs, its scary how much time I can be lost in my Q2 with this setup...

    I agree with you Dan, once I tried VR out I could never go back. I even invested on a high end 4k monitor thinking that it would be enough for immersion, but VR is a whole different game. I also find myself saving a lot of money not trying to buy too many wheels as the VR wheel representation is all I need.
    The quest is great, but personally favorite is my Pico Neo 3 Link, the link factor is that it connects to my PC via an actual Display Port via USB C and it provides amazing visuals without a hitch of compression.
    My wow experience was when I put the VR headset on and found myself inside the Lamborghini Huracan GT4 on ACC. Can never forget that moment. Plus there was already random rain occurring and it was even more immersive.
    I do hope the VR tech improves as the quality of the textures and clarity are still miles away from what you see on a flat screen. Once such company that is pushing the 200 FOV mark is Pimax. Giving you a full view without the binocular vision that is present with the Quest 2. Once you tried the Pimax 8kx or the 5k super there is indeed no turning back. But these products lack the image quality and the clarity that the Quest 2 has. They have a new one coming out called the Crystal (High in clarity 42ppd but low FOV [Quest 2 like] and the 12K QLED with a 200 FOV, which is going to be a game changer. 6k per eye! That's insane!

    i don't think I have ever gotten to this kind of intensity of sitting hours on end with a VR headset doing SIM racing or any other games I have. But i see it can be addictive and I have done allot. What really pushes SIM racing drivers is first the immersive-ness trying to be the best and the fastest in online racing. To do this you have to spend hours on each track, tweaking car setups, and then racing with other people to feel comfortable.
    It finally boils down to do you still enjoy doing this and the experience of SIM racing and VR.
    Good luck in your SIM racing and gaming in VR.

    For some reason I wasn't subscribed to your channel? I thought I subscribed years ago. I've been watching your motorcycle content for like as long as I've had my motorcycle, 9 years? Sheesh time flies. I also got bit by the racing bug recently, It's weird seeing you play dirt rally, aha that's my favorite game rn. The only thing I'm missing is the headset. And I guess I'm still a beginner because I play in 3rd person mode.I don't know if 1st person mode is easier/better on a VR headset but I suck at it when I try to play 1st person mode On my TV. 😅

    I’m seeing this on the day I first played GT7 on PSVR2.
    I just played it on my couch with a controller and immediately started searching wheels and stick-shifts and sim rigs.
    I don’t know if you’re all PC supremacists here but I don’t mind.
    Maybe my stuff is bullshit to all of you but GT7 on PSVR2 Is. Fucking. Incredible to me and it honestly looks every bit as full on as this PC stuff.
    There’s no way I’m not getting the cheapest direct drive I can and a rig.

    Dude it is the first time I watch you and can 100% relate. VR has reignited the gaming passion I lost after becoming an adult. I literally don't understand how can someone not like VR, except from may be having too much motion sickness. The whole reason we game since our childhood is to feel like we are inside the game. There is no better way to experience that than VR. Wait till you discover Skyrim VR with VR mods that make the game insanely immersive. I was never interested in this game, but because of VR it is one of my favorite now alongside racing sims.
    PS : I am sure you heard that PC3 is far from being the most realistic sim. I say if you like it who cares. However, if you get the chance to try rFactor 2 or iRacing, the experience is on another level.

  • @feverdream2661

    My only concern with VR is that I get bad motion sickness. Ive seen mixed reviews of how to alleviate the problem but its hard to know until you try it. I just dont want to waste thousands of dollars to then find out that its unusable for me. Same thing with buying a sim racing rig. I would gladly dump a good amount of money into this but I have no clue what to expect. I wish there was a place that let you test these rigs out so that you know if its the right move.

    Couple of tips for making the VR setup easier! Virtual desktop was a game changer when I got my quest 2, lets you stream from PC wirelessly no link cable! You can then get a 30 watt charger brick and it will actually gain battery while playing!

Probably dive right in tomorrow ... got Asseto Corsi Competition or however you spell it, got Dirt Rally 2 or 4 or whatever on steam ... gonna try it on Wreckfest (love that game) ... maybe even some time on American truck Simulator. I've spent so much time and money building my rig and putting everything together and setting up software that I sort of feel like 'I just build gaming systems, I don't actually play them ' lol ... oh yeah got a pair of VKB NXT Gladiator EVO Omni's hooked in to the rig for some Star Citizen and anything I can find in VR flight/space ... the desk mounts for those come in tomorrow too. Been a long road, almost afraid to start playing, but you look like you're having fun. Thanks for the video, cheers !

Got that setup now but still waiting on a fanatec setup with their lc pedal. I play in VR too and went straight to that I played a couple games with my monitor and it was not great and I just wanted to be in VR. I bought a link cable with charger you also plug into the wall and it works amazing to charge my headset hanging right by my rig when not in use and then its plugged in ready to roll when I turn it on and I just have to run oculus on PC. If you set that to auto run at startup you dont need to almost do anything to get rolling. Launch CM through the desktop view in headset

    I'll honestly say that everyone skips the biggest drawback to VR racing. It's incredibly taxing, physically, mentally, and even emotionally.

    Remember years ago coming across you bike videos, love em. I’m a casual Sim racer on Dirtrally2.0 what’s your screen name and are you on any of the tournaments through codemasters ? Honestly I see the logic behind getting the best of everything right away for your sim rig but the best way is to progress in my opinion. Take for example someone who just wants to get a wheel and see if they even like the experience. The cost is so much nowadays you almost have to build up and trade up /sell equipment until you hit a level your comfortable with without blowing the whole cost of a real car on your sim rig if you don’t have money to waste.
