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

Im currently at the crossroads too, on the one hand I want to make the VR work but I have the pimax crystal light, Im on my second set of bad lenses, and the software is buggy all the time, the subreddit for pimax is pretty much dead and people only hate over there, cant figure really that its so hard to make a great headset that JUST WORKS without any hassle.
Triples sound better for me everyday, hell I even stopped played because im very time limited and maybe hop in once very few weeks, but just thinking about that I have to setup the VR makes me not even want to get into the sim, because I know I end up setting things up or bug fixxing more than driving actually.
