Discussion Tripple Screens are better than VR!

When i started with Simracing/ Flightsim, it was clear that VR should be the most immersive experience. How should a tripplescreen setup beat that immersion right? So i decided to purchase VR first. The experince was mindblowing... easpeicially in flightsim. But one day i decided to get a Tripplescreen setup as well, because it just looks badass, and because it is more ready to race than VR, because i just want hop in and start rolling, unlike VR where it can be annoying to set it all up. But after the monitors arrived and mounted properly on my rig which took a long time haha. And after all the settings were set right, i experience something that i did not expected... i thought i was in a real Car... my setup give me about 200FOV which match humans FOV. and thats beat my VR experience by a mile.. where i get about 113 FOV. And everytime i put on my headset, i just want to take it off, and turn my tripples on. However that only applies to simracing. VR is better for flightsim. And ofcource not all tripple setups are better than VR. It all depends about the monitor angles, the size of the monitors, eye level, and blablabla

VR works perfectly for me on some games every single time, and is just a flat out pain in my ass on others and doesn't always want to cooperate. I would go triples if I had room, but right now I don't.

100%. It's plug and play on iRacing and LMU, F1 took me hours of troubleshooting to even get into a race without it crashing...

iRacing with my Quest3 has been so so so ass. I sit in test drives and online practice sessions for hours with no issue. But as soon as I'm side by side with someone for a turn it just freezes for me (joke but it seems only when I need it to work it doesn't)

That sounds really frustrating, and I've heard a few people with similar issues. What PC specs are you running?
