What does VR ready mean

  • Hello All.

    I am extremely keen on Aerofly FS2. The future looks very bright.

    However, When I bought my new computer recently it said that it's VR ready. What does this mean?

    After reading all the posts there was no doubt in my mind that I just had to get VR, and have read every post on the subject since. I am

    not in a position to get it now but hopefully in 2018. Am I right in believing that you don't need a monitor? if this is right it's truly unbelievable.

    So to sum up. 1. what does VR ready on a computer mean?

    2. do you require a monitor to run in VR.

    Thank you in advance for your reply. I'm just trying to understand the basic's at this stage.

  • Jim,

    you will still need a monitor along with your VR headset. The PC is still a PC when not running something (such as Aerofly) in VR.
