> VR is an incredible experience for flight simmers

It's not though... nobody enjoys 7 FPS in a flight simulator. No serious flight simulator is capable of achieving 90+ FPS on average, even with today's top tier pc hardware.

The "sims" that do work well in VR are not really sims - they're just arcade experiences. They are indeed fun, but they are not simulators.

I have no experience with sim racing, but I suspect the same from the serious ones.

Truck Simulator? I can expect that to perform well - there's not a ton of physics being calculated every tick after all. But even there, your average person can only stomach VR for maybe an hour or two.

Even when it's fun, it's a serious PITA to setup. You have to setup to use VR in some game, and that means often people get tired of it and wind up resorting back to their flight yoke or stick. It's a novelty, in other words.

If the $600 versions didn't catch on and go mainstream - then a $3500 version is never going to go mainstream.
