I wasn't suggesting a 1000$ last gen VR headset. There is surely a latency issue (small or worst), and the lack of more DOF is taking away from the experience. But for VR racing, and from what I understand you are impressed by it, I can wholeheartedly tell you that you are missing by using the solution you suggested. My best VR gaming was with the oculus quest. I haven't tried Oculus Go, and I wouldn't bother by today's standards for sim racing. I also had tried a 3d projector before VR came out and then I also tried non proper VR solutions(wired or wireless phone solutions) before trying oculus DK1 and on. You probably thought I was offensive? Not at all my intention and sorry if I sounded like that. Just an idea for anybody else who wants to try a very simple VR racing solution on the cheap (literally $200 and some freeware). I’m not sure how many other people know about this I’ve only come across a few on reddit. I still drive the cars through my pedals & wheel, hooked up to the PC and the sound still comes through the PC speakers. Perfect for sim racing because it only operates on 2 axis, so no issues with head movement skewing driver position, which makes it great for motion sims. Never any software communication issues because it gets the signal as a wifi stream. This thing was dirt cheap, weighs next to nothing, is wireless and works reliably every time. I have not tried any other VR headsets, so I cannot compare, but to me it is DAMN good! It took a little tweaking as usual to trade some quality for FPS. It maxes out at 72 FPS (software limitation). One AC2100 Wifi router and RTX 2070 gpu upgrade later, and I am running Pcars2, Dirt Rally 2.0, rf2, AC, iRacing, and Kart Kraft at 60-70 fps with high to ultra settings and 200% SS through this VR headset. I spent a few days studying up on software settings. I later found out about the ALVR freeware through Github. The built in apps are mostly rubbish, and I quickly became bored with it. I figured what the heck I’d try it out for the novelty. So I was in the local Wal Mart about 5 months ago, and found the Oculus Go VR for $200. Its always hard not to race in 3D, once you’ve tried it especially with the rf2 and Pcars karts. Since 2009, I have been racing on a projection DLP using Nvidia 3D vision.
