DCS World? I don't think so.

its not something a console is geared for ever. Not talking processing power. I'm talking the whole study sim deal. Let the consoles have warthunder and those type.

Asseto Corsa was similarly hardcore and didn't succeed on console. Still you can get flight controls for console so who knows.

Even higher end PCs can have a hard time with DCS.. and PCs are several orders of magnitude above a console system in raw power.

In order to port DCS to console you'd literally be looking at a complete rework of the engine. DCS is heavily dependent on single core performance right now and that would deep six console performance. Not to mention the RAM and VRAM requirements for good performance.

Then you have the UI and control issues on top of that...

Anyone wanting to play DCS would be better off taking the money they'd spend on the XB Series X, and dumping it into performance PC parts.

If you want some immersive gameplay in DCS, VR is the best no doubt. But VR require a powerful system to make you see more details, that's the weak spot for consoles because they are fixed spec machine that you got no way to upgrade but HDD.

VR hurts your eyes and makes you sick. Choose wisely.

Personally I've written off VR for at least the next 5 years, would rather wait until the technology improves if I'm going to sink that much money into a peripheral, plus most VR games feel more like showcasing rather than serious titles to get lost in. VR is like cheese, it needs more time to mature before it's actually a must have.

In regards to DCS on console, it will never happen. It'd be the equivalent of trying to run the International Space Station on a Raspberry Pi.

Is it? I saw a news about a japanese uses his VR headset for playing for 3 months and his visibility have increased from 0.5 to 0.9.

Unicase, but no sight of VR will harm eyes unless you use it for loong time

Yes, VR is still young. But it still provide something irreplaceable feeling that no other thing could provide.

For example: TrackIR.

Oh yeh I get that, and if you have the expendable cash then by all means jump in, but in 5 years you'r going to have a lot more marketplace competition bringing the price down and better technology behind it, so I'm willing to wait and stick with TrackIR.

Once you went VR, you're never gonna go back. Yeh, the tec is still in its infancy, stuff can get a little choppy sometimes and especially stuff that is far away is hard to see (not only a problem of VR but of DCS in general though...), but the spatial perception is just irreplaceable. Landings, AAR, dog fighting etc. just feels so way more natural and immersive. But yeh, if you sit on a tight budget, it's probably better to wait it out a few years.

Consoles on the other hand... serve me mostly as dust catcher. With most games these days even lacking good couch-coop and with all the technical limitations, they lost their reason for being for me.

It can, but it shouldn't consistently.

I've found a few things that need to happen. The headset needs to be worn and set up perfectly on your head. If it's not, you're going to get eyestrain. You also need to be running at least 90 fps. The amount of motion sickness I got in VR dropped significantly when I realised my headset was only running at 60 and I kicked it up.

It helps if you have a high resolution set like an Index or something like the O+ that has ASD filtering.

If one is planning on playing flightsims a lot, at this point, I'd still stick with TrackIR. But once you're used to VR it shouldn't hurt your eyes and make you sick.
