Virtual Reality (VR) Hardware and Games

I am confused about which flight sims require Steam VR to be able to run with the Samsung Odyssey. Part of that confusion seems to be related to whether FlyInside is being used, but I am not sure. So, now that I have a Samsung Odyssey: Are there any flight sims that can be run with just the Odyssey and Windows Media Portal? Which sims require FlyInside? For which is it optional? Which sims require Steam VR? For which is it optional? I haven't ever used Steam. I have only used stand-alone sims in the past (such as FSX, X-Plane).

Hi guys! Would you like to play such a VR-game?

I'm completely new to VR and serious flight sim, I own a VR Oculus Go and I'm hooked on VR now. I'm also a Private helicopter pilot and obviously into aviation to the point I want to experience all types of flight in VR. I did play around with some flight sim stuff years ago but its come a long way. I need help with spec a VR goggle and computer along with any other controls to get me going. Thanks

hello, after installing the glasses with the windows mixed reality portal, looks like nothing is shown in the lens just small box said that the controllers are not connected, there is green dot and its stable green inside the glasses. it looks like the computer not recognize the glasses as a second monitor, neither Nvidia control panel. it connected through HDMI port to GTX980TI. already tried: uninstall driver with DDU and install the last nvidia driver, multi monitor support from BIOS is on, on the other hand i also have mac book and while the glasses connected to it, it shows the desktop. so i guess the glasses are fine.. what im missing…

I've been reading about the VR performance improvements in P3D 4.2. Since that was a main selling point of FlyInside, is it still needed/recommended?

I have modified an XboxOne Kinect to connect to my Win7 PC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0rWWT24TNE) to use as a head tracker for my VR headset. Kinect SDK v1.8 installed but my PC doesn't detect the Kinect, can anyone offer any help? TIA Dave

This game is the one you need to show your friends, and finally takes VR to AAA levels. It explores the mental illness of its main character and her epic struggles, and along the way it's sure to creep you the heck out, even as it engrosses you. Buy the VR standalone on Steam, or by the 2D version and get the VR edition for free. Get it Get it now!

Tried to fire up my Oculus Rift Software this morning and it gave me the following message: "Can't Reach Oculus Runtime Service" After checking on the Internel, I found this: https://www.polygon.com/2018/3/7/17091938/oculus-runtime-error-outage-rift-vr-facebook Bill Clark

Hello, I'm getting a Samsung Odyssey WMR headset that I'm pretty excited to try in P3D! That said, I do not plan to use it 100% of the time. I normally use EZdok + TrackIR when I fly, but I'm not sure how compatible that will be with VR. Mainly will I need to disable EZdok and/or modify any camera.cfg files depending on how I intend to fly? Basically what's the best way to get the two to coexist so I can fly with VR or TrackIR depending on how the mood suits me? At the moment I'm not planning on getting FlyInside, but I'd consider it if it would help. I'm not against having EZdok only run when I need it and modifying camera.cfg or anything depending, I just…

I have just encountered a real strange issue. I run P3D v4.3 on my main PC and I Run Aivlasoft EFB flight bag on my 2nd monitor and have never had any issues. Since yesterday for some reason after about 5 minutes my 2nd monitor turns off and I cannot turn it back on again unless I turn my main PC off and start again but again the same problem happens again. I am running windows 10 and my graphic drivers are up to date. Really at my wits end to try and work out what is going on and would really appreciate any help/observations. Many thanks in anticipation. Michael

I have this posted over at FSL forums, getting no response. Can anybody provide some input with using the Airbus in native VR successfully? Im having a hard time getting it stable. I received a crash with a "hung VGA" notification last night. I can run other complex airliner simulations with relatively high settings no problem. If anybody can share some advice or recommended settings would be much appreciated. System specs / addons below. I have tried to run the bus with FlyInside as well. I dont really care for the program as it seems to be more problematic than beneficial. I get crashes and a lot of flashing/artifacts. i7 7700K (OC to 4.8 ghz) *HT OFF …

Hi folks I've recently got into vr and think it's fantastic . I made a cessna 152 simulator in the garden shed here's the wee link http://gbktvblogspot.blogspot.com/?m=0 If you click on the link and select web view you should see it all . Thanks Dave from Scotland

Hello, I am using a Samsung Odyssey with P3d4.3 . Is there any way to use the hand controllers to work (other than Flyinside)?

Hi, Suddenly, when I tried to open my ATC window in Flight Simulator X, it does not display properly, I only see a very small thing, but I don't see anything written or anything. Please help me. It doesn't let met attach images from Imgur, but if I did I'm sure they would be more helpful for you.

Hi, I just got hands on Bridge Crew with TNG DLC. It is simulation related to a degree - it has flight controls to control the Enterprise 🤣 First of all let me tell you about the experience: OMG!!!!! Waited all my childhood to be on the bridge of the Enterprise - whether it is TOS or TNG. Now, I can do both. VR will make gaming surreal. I mean with Occulus touch, it makes my hands show up. I mean what is surreal is that my brain thinks the panel is right there. Infact it is only in VR but the way I touch the panels in VR, feels like real time. Piloting is challenging especially when Borgs on your tail. But being on the Enterprise is…

just tested out the new v4.3, single pass rendering is now working good. you can now zoom in/out in vr, and pop up panels also show up in the vc (you can move it via combination of keys and left mouse button but settings are forgotten when panels are closed). single pass fix makes for smoother flights and looks like dynamic lighting isn't as heavy as before.

Howzit Guys, Any one here care to share an FSX model? Ive been looking everywhere for a Twin Comanche. Happy landings

Hi everyone, I have the Samsung odyssey HMD and it was working perfectly with 4.1 and 4.2. After doing the update to 4.3 I am suddenly getting CTD when I enable the VR. My system is on the higher end with a Nvidia 1080Ti card. Is anyone else having problems with this headset in P3D 4.3 VR?

Hi VR uses, I was looking forward to all the new and improved features of 4.3 but after a fresh install I noted that the Virtual Reality menu wasn’t available. I uninstalled then re-installed the latest Nvidia Drivers and everything is good again, however I don’t get any pop up windows. Is there a VR setup setting I’m missing or are the latest Nvidia driver re-install not working properly. I only install the Nvidia Driver not all the other options. Possibly I need to do a full uninstall of P3D again. Any thoughts from anyone before I uninstall P3D again? thanks IM

Hi all, I have searched the forum for an answer, but didn't found one. How exactly is it possible to use the Pimax 4K with P3D? I have rented a Oculus Rift CV1 to try it out, but I need better resolution. So I came across the Pimax 4K. I know I need Nolo VR for positional tracking, but I'd like to know, how to get the Pimax 4K to work before I buy one. Do I need additional software, like Steam VR etc.? Thanks to anyone who can help me. Sven

Just did the full install of P3D4.3 however in VR I now get a black frame crossing the screen. If I select mono from the VR settings it goes away. Never had this in 4.2. Im using the Pimax which uses the vive software so maybe it needs updating. Had anyone else seen this problem? thx IM

I'm flying a PMDG 777, however, while I'm flying, Pro-ATC always asks for squawk but I don't know what that means and how to get and enter the squawk code to the transponder. Can someone please help me out?

Vr continues to evolve and advance....
