Since November last year I fall in love again in ..... VR this time.
Firstly it was IL-2 BoX, FC and DCS, now, this Christmas I installed P3Dv4.5 with ht2 (full install).
What is was a full surprice for me!
P3Dv4.5 has a new, better life for me again! The immersion is a LOT of bigger than on my 2D, flat (and now awful ) screen!
Immersion VR in civil sim kills everything for me what I know about simming (just pity I can't do nice screenshots like before ;D).
No any problems with any addons, I used Active Sky (with his 2D panels for weather raports in the sim), ORBX for sure, REX ect. and ... PTA also (like LumaSharpen, colours, saturation, effects ect).
Obligatory for VR users is my old friend, known software: ChasePlane - better and customable views (default views of P3D in VR mode are poor simply).
What is very good - all 2D panels are customable in 3D space, see examples in new J3 of A2A:
I customized also some of hardware to have all things, levers near my hand (here full throttle columns with throttles, mixtures, prop, levers for coolers ect.):
Now Im stayed of big fan of VR, especially of P3D. It works well, with stable 45 fps for me (with motion reprojection "on").
Settings in P3D I have worse than on monitor but still on high/medium level what is still good.
Trips in VR are fantastic!
I used HP Reverb revision 2 (the best resolution on the market now).
Here is my full review of this headset:

(its in Polish but You can use translate button).
Also, on our Polish Forum I opened a tips about how to settings P3D: http://il2forum.pl/index.php?topic=19520.0
and on Avsim about how to place 2D panels in 3D space (customs positions): https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/5...s-in-vr-p3dv4/
Its a new time for me and future. I will never invest more in 2D monitor or home build cockpit, just for VR (maybe next 8KX Pimax but I'll check the first reviews, I don't trust Pimax's promises ;>).
Btw. I was using also Oculus Rift CV1, S, HTC Vive, Pimax 5K+ (in the last 1-2 years for tests). HP Reverb v2 works ok from me without any issues like it was with rev1 and was my final choice (and the first own VR headset).
I really advice to check P3D in VR mode! This will further change your approach to this simulator .
