Valve index. Got a lightly used one for a great price.
TBH I mainly bought this thing cause I want to play the Myst remaster in VR but I better get some use outa this. So what else is worth playing aside from Beat Saber? Any good VR mods?

I’ve mostly played flight games on VR, lmao.
The first game I played all the way through in VR was Project: Wingman, and it’s fukken fantastic. The jet interiors are a little bad, but the game’s all arcade action so you’re not going to be looking at them very much. If you’ve got a joystick I can’t recommend this one enough.
If your computer can swing it DCS in VR is really, really great. The best modules are either the F-14 or the JC-17, both of which have a lot of little details that really put them over the top in terms of making you feel like you’re actually piloting the jet in question.
If DCS is too buggy, IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad is another great combat flight sim, but unlike DCS it was built from the ground up to be VR-ready so it plays nicer with slower hardware. There’s a bunch of DLC, but trust me when I say that all you need to start with is the base game - it’s got a dozen planes, a full campaign, a mission editor, it’s all you’ll need for a hundred hours of gameplay at least.
Lastly, VTOL VR is the flight game that makes the most out of being a VR experience. It’s not a simulator of anything specific, but the jets in it resemble modern jets. The best feature is that all of the controls exist in VR, which means there are no other peripherals to buy or mess around with, your headset and VR controllers are all you need.
I mostly fly helos in DCS, but I can confirm that it is awesome. But I’d like to point out that a lot of the more popular modules have full flickable cockpits and full motion controls. The UH-1H, AH 64, and KA-50 all fly great in VR with motion controls, no joystick needed. A bunch of other modules are full motion as well, but the only fixed wings I can confirm fully work are the p51 and f86. I haven’t tried any others.
*Edit to say that I highly recommend a rudder pedal though.
See, I’ve never touched helos so I didn’t know that.
Personally I have everything that’s supposed to be on the HOTAS on my actual HOTAS - but I don’t mind clicking with a mouse/trackball for everything else. I actually prefer it to VTOL VR’s method of reaching out at the void in front of me in order to flip a virtual switch.
