compared to Quest 2<\/a><\/strong>, which should ensure smooth performance even in dense urban areas. The ability to play completely wire-free, thanks to the standalone functionality, is a major plus for freedom of movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, as much of an upgrade Quest 3 will be over the Quet 2, the visuals are still going to lag behind most of the other options on this list and battery life is still limited to 2-3 hours. In addition, the basic fabric headstrap seen in the leaks likely won’t be ideal for prolonged flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On balance, Quest 3 looks like it will be a compelling standalone VR headset for Microsoft Flight Simulator, but is probably better suited to the more casual user. The visual clarity won’t match premium PC headsets, and accessories like headphones and battery packs will add to the cost. For simmers who prioritize fidelity over mobility, Quest 3 may not be the best choice. But for many, the enhancements and wire-free convenience will be highly appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
