    Having flown both real world and sims for many years, I now want only the most realistic VR experience. I have quite a few hours on various types of real and virtual but only have a non VR though high spec MacBook which is great but it's now time to move up to high spec PC eg. Alienware Aurora or equivalent with powerful GPU, HP Reverb 2 VR & possibly YAW VR Motion platform.

    I already know that FS2 is the most visually realistic high frame rate VR experience. That may or may not change with the release MSFS 2020.

    Without building a serious realistic cockpit which seems now redundant, do I need new stick & pedals? I have some years old & still solid - Saitek X-56 Hall effect stick & throttle quadrant.

    Either way, what's the best way to maximise the realism apart from what I've already mentioned or is that all that's needed? Any advice & wisdom would be mightily appreciated.

    I recommend he Alienware Graphics Amp. I installed only a Geforce 1070 into the amp and have had good results.

    Add a ButtKicker Gamer2 to your chair for some added realism.

    Wow that's a long list & where to start?

    In no particular order & only partial - Pitts Special, Extra 330, Navion, Pipistrel Virus SW & Taurus Electro, Cirrus SR22T & Vision, anything with tundra wheels & capable of landing in the desert also flying machines in which I learnt to fly constructed from sailcloth & metal tubes like the Drifter.

    I have some old ones can't even remember what they are. They always seemed to be the weakest link in realistic control without feedback - even more so than the stick.
