Is Air Racing a gimmick in VR? Sim Update 7 Beta (Pimax Crystal Light)

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 7 Beta hands-on: testing the unreleased National Championship Air Races in high-resolution PC VR with the Pimax Crystal Light. Does 35 PPD clarity, native DisplayPort fidelity, and glass aspheric optics transform MSFS 2024 air racing from an arcade minigame into a true simulation reflex check?

In this MSFS Sim Update 7 Beta flight test, we take the L-29 Delfin down to 50 feet at 250 knots around the Reno pylon course. We test the new flight physics, dynamic AI racing lines, wake turbulence prop wash, and engine thermal management limits—pushing full throttle until the coolant boils and the engine blows.

See how the Pimax Crystal Light handles high-speed ground photogrammetry streaming, edge-to-edge cockpit gauge legibility, and zero screen-door effect running on an Nvidia RTX 4090.
