I'm 57 and new to VR.
My recommendation? Go for it.
First thing I tried in VR when it arrived was AF2 and I've never looked back. My mouth literally dropped open in amazement when I first tried it and I still get a massive buzz from it. 2D on monitors seems so old fashioned to me now lol. Totally immersive in a way you have to experience to appreciate.
And as a bonus, I can now fly a helo, which I could never ever manage in non-VR
As another bonus, you get to play with other cool stuff like Half Life: Alyx, Google Earth in VR and a ton of other stuff.
Using a Rift-S. With AF2 the performance is amazing. Other sims have more features, but you just can't beat the fluidity of AF2 and that really pays off in VR. If you get a chance, try VR in an area with lots of skyscrapers (like the Meigs add-on) in the R22. It's an absolute blast!
