Jab45,

Hi.  Welcome to SimV.

From my experience playing with those type of goggles in OTHER stuff a while back.... the issue that I think that there'd be with FlightSim is that the "look arouund" factor would be right up there and pretty amazing..... but then you'd want to "reach out" and adjust a control..... and you'd have to use the mouse pointer. 

Blows the realism factor.... and is harder to do than hit keys on a keyboard.  To fix this.... you'd also need one of those "position sensing" gloves that will mimic the actions of your hand to make it work OK, IMHO.

Until there is the Star Trek "Holodeck" type simulations available....... that stuff will be an issue.


There's another way to "up" the reality factor a tad.......

If you are interested in "as real as it gets"....... stop down to the Homebuild Cockpits form every now and then and see some of the stuff people are working on.  (Bear with it since some stuff there is still getting separated out of the single massive thread that resulted in the recent creation of the forum.)

best,
