Ok here's what I do...
I have The aircraft sounds coming out of my home theater speakers.
Then I log into https://www.liveatc.net/ with my iPad, select either my departure airport or my arrival
airport, connect my headset to my iPad and I now have a very realistic cockpit experience. Live ATC through
my headset and aircraft sounds in the background.
Granted you can't communicate with ATC but it sure adds to the VR experience without costing a dime.
