I want a VR headset to use with flight
sims like DCS and IL2. I bought an Acer WMR headset last year for this and it does all I need but my IPD (distance between my eyes) is 70.5 and the biggest it can accomodate is 67. Therefore I can see great out of one eye at a time if I skew it a little. :(

I need one that connects to the PC and has physically adjustable IPD. WMR headsets are fine. Don't need or care about any room type vr, only head tracking for PC. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm selling a forklift VR training kit that uses the HTC Vive that has adjustable IPD. I don't see the IPD specs on their site. https://enterprise.vive.com/us/BE/
Next time I fire it up I'll check.
Thanks but that is way overkill. What I need should only cost a couple hundred bucks.

I think there are some lesser known products that would fit the bill but its not easy to specify what I need in an effective google search, hence this post. :)

I have played games and watched movies on the new QUEST VR. 400 bucks on amazon amazingly immersive. They also have shooter games

I have the Oculus S that I really need to use more. It's pretty good for the things I have used it for.
 
All that's needed for PC games like flight sims is:

1. A pc connection (lots of the new ones are stand alone).
2. Head tracking.

Thats it! No controllers, no other tracking hardware. No software other than windows drivers.

For my "condition" however I need:

3. Goggles with a manual IPD adjustment.

I don't mind paying for controllers, etc because most come with them, but I'm trying to keep costs reasonable.
