Correct, it's optional

It says VR because VR is supported.
It's not required.

Odyssey, iirc, doesnt even fully support VR on foot, so yeah. You're good without it 100%.

It is not required. Although I think VR is the best way to play. Especially if you use it with a flight sim controller. HOTAS I believe is what they are called. I'm just re-installing the game now after a long break and playing a little bit of the original 1984 game. Be prepared for a learning curve. The game is kind of what you make of it so set your own goals for what kind of pilot you want to be. Last I checked though my PC didn't like Odyssey in VR and didn't perform very well. Hope maybe they fixed that. Otherwise I might just play on Legacy for the sake of playing in VR. Anyway though have fun. Elite is very cool game if you like space sims.

Thanks ya'll

I will say this- in the event that you ever pick up a vr thingee- I don't do a ton of VR but.... IF you ever get a VR set THIS might be a game to look at. I still remember that moment of sitting in the hanger. I wasn't flying, i was just sitting there.... but it was one of the coolest moments of my life. I mean, the later flying was obviously a bit more fun, but I'll never, EVER forget sitting in the cockpit looking around the space station.
