I have been playing Dirt Rally on my 49" ultra widescreen for the past few days and I have come to the conclusion that the incar view is as good as playing in vr if you get the drivers seat in the correct position.

On my 27" I couldn't play using the incar view as I couldn't see enough what was going on. but with the ultrawide its ace as I can see as far as the side windows, so its very similar to vr accept you have a better resolution and doesn't make you feel sick after a few mins of playing.

Looking around the car and the view outside is pretty cool in vr, but when your actually racing you dont look much further left and right then in my screenshot?

I cant really look all over the place in VR anyway as it makes me feel sick big time.
 
Yeah my screen shot does look slightly odd and looks like your sitting quite a way back, but when you about 12-20 inches away from the monitor, it fills up your full view, its ace.

Hard to really tell from that screen shot , but he would have to position himself correctly and close enough to the screen to make good. I have considered those extra wide screens, but when I have seen them in the shops running things like Assetto Corsa on Demo or PC2 they are no where near as good as just running triples. If I was to upgrade my 5760x1080 setup 144hz, I would go triples again but higher Res. At the moment there is not the GPU grunt unless i drop down the FPS. I will wait another couple of years at least. Hopefully then we will have some super dupa VR options too.

I have never really figured out how to get games running on multiple screens, Im guessing only some games will run on multiple screens?. Also you can only play racing sims in the incar view at full resolution or you get the strechyness/fisheye effect going on, so I play all my other games at 21:9(2560x1080) and not at 32:9 (3840x1080), so the strectyness is not as noticeable.
 
I dont know if the headset is anything todo with the sickness prob, as Im only using the DK2? Its the moving forward and looking around that gets me, but If I look around slowly its not as bad.
