   I'm a private pilot and I used MS Flight Simulator with my HP mixed reality VR headset a couple of years ago. I found it to be amazing for the first half hour. Then, the VR-induced nausea turned it from an amazing experience into a chore. It was still usable, but no longer enjoyable.

   I believe this is caused by the disconnect between the visual cues you see and the lack of intertial forces your body feels. I quit using the VR headset, and in fact, Microsoft discontinued VR.

     @AinsleyLowbeer @GossiTheDog I play iRacing in VR and noticed the same thing for the same reasons. The visual cues don't match up with what your body "expects" to feel. I was lucky and never got fully nauseous from it, but it did go away after I did it a couple of days in a row. I guess my body adapted to the situation and now I don't feel weird when racing.

     I would just rather fly an actual plane. 😀
