Microsoft Flight Sim is a beast of a game. It looks absolutely stunning but that obviously comes at a performance cost. It devours whatever computing power you throw at it. That is to be expected given its volumetric clouds, realistic terrain and high poly objects. To run Microsoft Flight Sim in all its glory, you need some solid graphical power. …
Microsoft Flight Simulator Optimal VR Settings Guide (2024)
MSFS is rather demanding flight simulator, especially in VR. In fact, it is more demanding than any other VR flight sim in my experience. But you wont hear me complaining about any of that as the graphical quality is unmatched as well. Where else can you fly anywhere in the world and crash your plane on a continent of your …
Best Monitors for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2024)
For maximum immersion with flight sims, you essentially have four options: VR headset Ultrawide monitor 4K monitor Multi-monitor setup There are pros and cons to each, but I prefer VR and ultrawide over a multi-monitor setup or even 4K for that matter. Ultrawides are simply a step up over the multi-monitor setup in my opinion. Over the last few years, …
Microsoft Flight Simulator – Which Edition to buy?
The new Microsoft Flight Simulator is perhaps the most ambitious flight simulator ever. I have been flight simming close to 2 decades now and never have I seen such excitement amongst not only hardcore flight simmers, but even casual gamers. Why? Because it really is just phenomenal with the best terrain quality and weather effects I have ever seen anywhere …
Best VR Headset for Elite Dangerous (2025)
I am a Premium Beta (2014) backer of Elite Dangerous and I can say that without a doubt ED is “THE BEST SPACE SIM IN VR”. For the past 8-9 years, I have been having a blast playing ED in VR. The combat is pretty great because of the situational awareness and depth perception. The cockpits of those ships feel …
Elite Dangerous – Best Joysticks/ HOTAS, Controllers (2025)
Elite Dangerous has been the premiere space sim since it hit Beta in 2014. Despite it’s considerable age, it continues to attract fans due to its wonderful depiction of our galaxy which allows for an immersive exploration experience as well as good mining and combat. I have been playing Elite since 2014 but I only really got into it once …
IL2 VR Settings and Optimization Guide (2024)
Flight sims can be very demanding on your GPU and even on your CPU in VR. IL2 is based on a somewhat dated engine and it struggles to maintain 90 FPS in VR even on high end gaming rigs. So you must make some compromises and reduce some settings to get the best experience. But all settings are not created …
Best VR Headset for IL2 Sturmovik (2025)
The original IL2 was the flight sim that many of us grew up with. The first time I flew, I had no idea what was going on but the slow hum of the engines, the tumultuous water underneath, the periodic crackling of the radio and the sun setting over the horizon, all created an atmosphere that I knew I would …
Best VR Headset for Beat Saber (2025)
If you have read any of my other reviews, you’d know that I LOVE the HP Reverb and recommend it for many games. But not for Beat Saber! Beat Saber is a different beast and these are the thing you need to look at before buying a VR headset for it: Clarity and resolution are NOT your top priority. You …
Best Steering Wheels for American/ Euro Truck Simulator 2
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is one game that I never thought I’d enjoy at much as I did. I still come across a lot of people on reddit who are surprised that a non-racing driving game exists, but frankly I am glad that it does. ETS2 has this calming, chill vibe and I used to play it in VR after …
