I can relate, I am a little prone to motion sickness myself. But it just hasn't stopped me.
I actually have tinkered around with VR for a long time. My first set of “VR googles” were the SimulEyes VR which worked with a CRT monitor by blacking out one eye and then the other. The best game that worked with them was the DOS (pre-Windows) version of Descent. I had to shell out $175 for them about 30 years ago.
Since that time, I had various other versions of optical devices, cell phone adapters, like the Google Cardboard, and a fairly expensive 3D Television.
But I am new to the actual “modern” versions of VR Headsets. I am using mostly Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 with the VR headset. I purchased a gaming laptop at Costco for $999 last month. It is still on sale for $400 off. It is an HP Victus 16.1” Gaming Laptop - 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700HX - GeForce RTX 4060 - 144HZ 1080p - Windows 11.
I am now getting good results, but it took some tweaking. I spent $15 for Desktop VR and use it with OpenXR toolkit which is freeware. It works much better than oculus app that comes with the headset or SteamVR which works with many games. I just about wrote the VR goggles off until I started using those two tools and then tweaked my settings a bit. MSFS 2020 especially was very jittery which was very annoying and promotes motion sickness. Now it is pretty darned amazing. It feels like you are sitting at the controls in the airplane.
I also use X-plane 12 with VR which works well also but has much less in the way of scenery which I enjoy. I own earlier versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-plane, but prefer the later versions. I like to fly the simulator versions that are very similar to the actual airplane that we own, a Piper Cherokee.
