I started simming with Falcon 4.0 in 1998 and built up quite a nice virtual cockpit over the years: Cougar HOTAS with FFB, Warthog throttle, pedals, Cougar MFD's with exported MFD video, CH button panel, 32" QHD monitor, VoiceAttack. Probably spent in area of $2000 over the years, not counting PC upgrades.
Since I received a CV1 last Christmas, 90% of my sim time has been VR (single-player). I just enjoyed the VR immersion more than I enjoyed the flat screen cockpit, despite the CV1's limitations. I found I could operate the Cougar MFD buttons quite adequately with the headset on. I detest using the mouse, but am in the next batch of Miles' PointControl shipments. New Reverb arrived Saturday and raised VR experience to a new level. I have found VoiceAttack to be 99% accurate, using a few phonetic spellings as suggested by BigDuke. Can't see myself returning to mostly flat screen play.
One man's opinion.
