[HVY] MaverickSawyer

Throwing my experiences out here... As others have mentioned, the immersion in VR is truly impressive, even at lower resolutions. And the sense of depth and distance is absolutely a game changer. I used to have trouble with making smooth landings in FSX on a monitor, simply because I lacked any depth perception. Throw on a VR headset in MSFS or DCS, and I think I've crashed on landing only once, and that was because I stupidly locked up the brakes on my Viggen and wheelbarrowed it off the runway. Downsides are definitely the performance hit, the lower resolution, and the limited time I can stay "under the hood". At the end of the day, it's very subjective which is better.

Another budding Viggen pilot looking for some expert advice and training.

Greetings from central Iowa! Been toying around with getting into DCS for several years, but only recently dove in in earnest. Looking at focusing on the Viggen for now.
