My first experience with a VR headset was negative in the same way. But I found directions about which software and tweaks actually worked, and I have not had difficulties since.
I understand that if I switch my FS2020 PC to windows 11 and install a particular update...it basically bricks my HP VR headset...
"Yes, upgrading to Windows 11 24H2 will render many Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) headsets, including HP's Reverb G2, essentially unusable. This is because Microsoft is discontinuing WMR support in this update, causing the headsets to stop functioning"
I would have to pretty massively update my PC to get good functionality using the latest flight sims...just not something I have the funds or the time to spend right now.
BTW, remember Sublogic and the 3d glasses?
Truly amazing how far flight sim has come.
If I hit the lotto...I'd build one of those full-737 cockpits I've seen on YouTube...or a motion rig with VR(bring on the Dramamine)
