Being properly prepared for your medical can save months of frustration.
Once you’ve used a VR flight sim, you will not go back to a flat monitor. They are so much better. I did the SimVenture (PilotEdge.Net) Oshkosh Fisk arrival using VR and it felt incredibly real. My heart was pounding.
Sounds interesting.
I’ve been using a Red Bird for some of my IFR training and I find it useful.

You feel like you’re flying an airplane rather than a simulator. One big issue (which Red Bird is attempting to solve) is manipulation of the controls on the panel. It’s challenging using a VR controller.
