@haymak3rupdate.  Grandson called me yesterday and has the system working.  He downloaded a game he plays with friends, something with ghosts, to test it out.  Says the VR is really nice.  Next was downloading MSFS and I told him to download the Mooney bravo module.  I’ll get to see it for the first time this weekend.
 

That's so cool! Would love to hear what the specs are on the build. And what headset you're going to get to use

With all of those fans, it will sound like you’re flying in a jet.

X-Plane has better flight modeling.  MSFS has better graphics.

DCS for flying combat.

That will be a very nice system! Should have no issues. Congrats and good luck! I have the reverb g2 as well. If you run in to any strange tracking issues, let me know. I have some tips to improve it drastically.

@haymak3r

What recommendations would you have for a stand/seating?

There was an issue connecting the VR to the system but apparently solved with added adapter in the cable setup.  Getting close now.

We’ll need a YouTube video when it’s all set up and running.

For seating, there are a lot of gaming chairs available.  The chair I am using at my home office desk is from Office Depot.  I just went in and tried them out and picked the most comfortable.

Ya, I also just use my home office chair. dealing with the headset cable sucks though . Can't wait for proper next gen VR. With actual wireless connectivity, and eye tracking. Will be a huge change.
