Got a unit from a friend for testing so I could see whether the investment was worth it or not and... boy, I cannot play Gran Turismo 7 on a flat screen again, it's so weird and jarring.

One of the things that has surprised me about the experience is how my perception of certain tracks is changing. I always hated Autopolis with a passion, a bland and uninspiring string of corners leading nowhere. But with VR? I can be more precise and feel it flowing better. It isn't a track I would say I am good at or even enjoy as so many others, but I don't find it the waste of disk space I once did.

Racing some events from the DLC on Fuji earlier, I've noticed how easy it is to nail the last few corners when you have actual depth perception to judge where to break, turn and position the car to fit everything together nicely.

For me, this is the only negative from using VR.

I simply cannot play with a screen anymore. Not that i want too all the time but every now and then i just decide to have a go and play on my screen.

It usually lasts about half a lap before i'm in the grass or gravel and my session ends as i reach for my VR headset.

Welcome.

We are your people.

This is your church.
 
Well I’m going to buck the trend here and say I just went back to flat screen the other day. I dunno since the Spec 3 swear i couldn't drive anywhere quick enough on hard tyres, or is it just the new rubber squealing putting me off.

I had a 1.38.6 in VR on fuji this week, i haven't raced flat screen in nearly a year and within an hour i had a 1.38.4 and i know there is more time there, also feeling fresh and an hour is easy on flat screen, an hour or 2 in VR is a work out :D

Also something i find myself doing in VR is turning in too late, also being stuck in mid pack and battling with groups i find it hard to be fast and give space, so i usually end up losing time by trying to give other space as its hard to know where others are.

So yea i'm going to use a mixture of both VR and flat screen going forward.
I actually think using both can help in terms of lap times.

As a full on, fully assimilated VR2 convert here, I'm gonna say you answered your issue with your second statement.

I seem to recall somewhere in the settings of GT7, you can tune the level of tire squeal for both you and your opponents. I just don't recall exactly where that setting was/is. I've set and forgot about it, obviously.

I was like this initially, but now I only use my wheel + VR if I’m fancying a “proper” drive. For the weekly challenges, as an example, they’re my kick-back and relax with a controller time.

Side-note, nice to see a scouser. Plastic scouser here. lol.
 
Completely impossible to play flat here. Would have bought pmr on release..just to try..but there’s no point. I go half a lap flat and its…..nope!

Loving the ffb on the dd+ with VR post patch too. So much more visceral. Finally feels dang close to what it should!
