Hardware and VR questions

[axellayer_2]

Hi there everyone, please I need your help in order to start using Prepar 3D 5.3 and VR in my school here in Mexico. We plan on using this simulation software on a PC with Oculus Quest 2 but:

1.- I need to know standard windows requirements for it to work well without spending all of my budget on the PCs.

2.- Which Yoke, pedals, and throttles do you recommend?

3.- While using Prepar 3D 5.3 on VR could I use the Oculus controls to substitute the mouse? Or, do I have to use the mouse exclusively?

Thank you in advance, any help on these matters would be greatly appreciated.

With VR I am afraid you'll have to spend a lot of your budget on the PCs!!!

I do not have VR myself, but what I have seen here in the threads over time is that VR requires a lot of extra horsepower, compared to a PC for P3D without VR. And a PC for P3D without VR requires a lot of horsepower as it is already.

Perhaps a VR user or two could come up and tell you how their PCs are configured, and how they like VR on them?

Hi Jorgen,

Thank you, hopefully a VR user will answer.

As for joystick etc. I use the Thrustmaster HOTAS-X, with the rudder bar on the front of the throttle, not what you are looking for with pedals.

Thanks again,

The thing is that we will use the Beechcraft King Air 350i for the lessons, so we need a yoke, pedals and throttles.

Interesting - I have been looking for a 350I for P3D v. 5.3, where did you find that one?
