its better than having a naff LoD have sky scrapers jump out at you in race games, but having said that you wouldnt normally be looking out the windows for the scenery, but ive always found scenery pop up at you more disjointing than a perpetually blurred PoV, but being short sighted thats kinda like what i would see any time im without my glasses regardless of my focus off attention
