So I could't believe how realistic the cockpit of HS-129 "tank buster" felt the first time I virtually "sat" there, but unfortunately all the graphics outside this cockpit felt like 1024p resolution, which is a far cry from my 4k monitor.

And because of all that realism your brain gets tricked into believing you're literally flying an airplane, which means motion sickness while doing even mild combat manoeuvres. I got used to that after a while, though, and then it just added up to the immersion.
I use mine mostly for iracing and other driving sims. It really makes you feel like you are there, even compared to triples. It's not 4k sharp but it's worth it to not feel like a game. Also the depth perception really helps on judging apexes or walls on street circuits. Supposedly VR transfers better to real life.
