    Yea I tried a DK1 and while it was awesome for soaking up a static environment it was near impossible to drive race pace and completely lacking in menu support. Couldn't even load car tunes. Still has my interest though just biding my time.

    Yeah, and to be honest it's still not great, however im coming from a 2k monitor... However the feels is beyond the care point of how good it looks... It 'feels' like i'm sitting in the car and it looks good enough to pass!

    Ill end up upgrade if the CV2 is good enough for the upgrade... for now, I have it and it's awesome! I seriously recommended people that have 3 screens to reinvest into something like this! However I also recommend you try one out first before you buy.. Alot of people are getting motion sickness from them, so they sell them... I picked mine up for a bargain 800!

    Yeah I see how that would be a pain! now - if you have a mouse or keyboard close by you can get around it... It's not 100% crystal clear however you can make out what it is in the menu..... I will need to get some vid up at some point! :)

    By the sounds of it now tho, its heaps better Dave... :)

    Has anyone with a VR headset experimented with a seatbelt strapping you tightly into the seat, so that in addition to being held into the cockpit, you also have the headset weight 'feeling' like a helmet? I reckon with seatbelts, and the helmet vision facade put onto your screen, you've got max immersion, so that's one of the first things I want to do in VR!

    @Crunch, My rig has race type seat belts fitted - I have a helmet with inbuilt speakers and I run two transducers (shakers) bolted to the seat frame. When u are strapped in tight being pushed a bit more into the seat makes the back of the helmet sit on the headrest which picks up all the vibrations. I have had this for several years. Though not VR, the limited view through the helmet and all the vibes is a bit of a laugh and adds some extra realism.

    Yeah what Rolz put up is what I got. I just took the gear shifter post from the left hand side (as I have my shifter up next to my wheel) spun it around and bolted it back on to the right hand side and attached it to that. It works well.

    The only thing I have in common with your rig is a $9 tablet holder :(
