Why Star Wars: Squadrons VR triggers motion sickness
A cockpit normally protects you, but dogfighting means sustained rolling, the single motion axis stomachs handle worst, stacked with pitch and yaw at combat speed. The linked veteran, seasoned across three headsets, describes symptoms they had never met before. Story missions in calmer ships first, multiplayer rolls later, is the reasonable ramp.
