Virtual Reality (VR) Hardware and Games

I use P3DV4.2 native VR, Oculus Tray Tool, and Oculus VR with Dash. I use the Dash function to project a small window inside the cockpit to display the gps. Lately, this window has started to randomly loosing the gps display and going to a blue screen. I can restore the gps display by stopping and restarting both the Tray Tool and Oculus VR programs. Anyone seeing this as well? Any ideas how to fix it? Danny

Hey all. Im pretty into flight simming with my rift. prepar3d I have a msi GTX 1070ti 4790k Z97X gaming 3 DDR 3 16 Gig ram thermaltake smart 750w 80bronze can someone help me with why my pc reboots under load, eg addon airports and scenery. default scenery I can fly around all day. In oculus tray tools when I set Power plan to high performance and put on the rift, the sim rebooted straight away. also Nautilus game reboots the PC after about 5 - 10 mins. thanks guys. Dan.

Does a VR device like for example the Samsung Odyssey provide the same field of view as your naked eye? Is your peripheral vision limited like a computer monitor while in game?

..running P11 with Asus 980 Ti, well, I'm happy campers when it comes to 2D, but with VR ,though, I get steady 45fps, quality is not something that makes you want to spend much time wearing those VR Headset ... now, my question is: should I consider upgrade to the 1080 Ti which means substantial investment, or the enhancement doesn't justify the investment, & as some claim, the poor quality is due to the Headset limited capabilities, and thus better wait for the next generation of those Headsets ? Any comments will be highly appreciated Cheers Yair

Any thoughts on curing them? Fly inside cured this but I'm using native more at the moment as it is very switchable. Any info on rotating clouds? Any way to stop them? Noticeable using standard weather. Even worse with active sky.

I´m thinking about getting PRO-ATC/X for my P3D VR flights but would like to hear from someone who owns it to see wether it works well on VR (lot of text). I use flyinside and it displays atc on a deattached screen in VR, can it be done with Pro-atc? Thanks! Carlos

How do I get VR to work with P3Dv4.1? Before I could activate VR from the view popup window but now there is no VR selection in that window anymore.

Or, any 3rd party add on like it?

Hello I have been flying FSX for 16 years. Recently I am able to build my home flight sim cockpit. I did use your design and it is working very well. Display is where I am having issues. I purchased the items below: Computer: i7 (7700) (1-pci X16) and (1-pci X1), 32GB (2400) gaming ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX video card 6gb (3-DP, 1-HDMI & 1-DVI), 4 outputs can be used at one time, this is the issue. VRInstruments GPS-5 (Which requires vga display) VRInstruments U-ProPit (Which requires vga display) I am running 3 TV for the Front, Left and Right View My Nvidea GTX 1060 only supports 4 outputs As you can tell my total outpu…

Hello everything, After creating my flightplan and I do the pushback from GSX,then, at the moment the pushback begins to run, the FMC is blocked and not usable. No movement with the mouse. When I do the pushback with Shift/P, then no problems. Previously, one week, there were no problems with this. I hope that anyone can tell me what's wrong with this. Greetings Jopoloco.

I have my sim set up around a lazy boy type recliner, very comfortable for long flights. My question is can a VR headset be used in a semi reclined position? not reclined all the way but probably around the 30% position. Quote Edit

Interesting........

This is a subject that attracts me. When I was young, and tried to get adults to try new things and maybe play video games with me, they always reacted as if I was trying to offer them dog poop, and ran away screaming. They almost acted as if interacting with technology was beyond them somehow, which always puzzled me. Years later, seeing adults reacting to the new with openness and a willingness to try always makes me smile. I wish my own adults had been like that!

I am having issues with my samsung odyssey. When the headset goes into sleep the sound cuts out in p3d. This happens even if im using desktop speakers, not just with the hmd audio. I have tried turing off the audio switching functions in steam vr and in windows. Any way to either stop this thing from sleeping, or stop the sound from switching?

What do you think?

Found several comments that i need Steam VR if I plan to use the Odyssey. Can’t find exactly what I have to buy/download to get Steam VR. Went to the website but that is all games and hardware. Can some advise how I get “Steam VR” so I can use the Odyssey? Thamks

I have a new PC dedicated to FSX and it is has Windows 10 installed. FSX works fine, but my HAT-Track from VR Insight (now discontinued) crashes every time I try to connect it with "simconnect" and, yes I do have the latest FSUIPC installed. Does anyone know of a fix for this or of an alternative for tracking the scene with movement of the head?

I realize that it is somewhat expensive ($99) but the Virtual Reality SImulations F-18 along with their TacPack for weapons (guns, missiles, SAMs, bombs, etc) in a simple scenery environment like North Oahu (photoreal) provides a very fun and fluid VR experience. I have a 4.2 Ghz i7 CPU and an Nvidia 1060 6gb GPU running driver 388.71 and I get the ASW 45fps running smoothly with 2XSSAA and SuperSampling (using Oculus Tray Tool) set at 1.5 for clarity. I downloaded Javier Fernandez's freeware USS Nimitz and then the scenario generating freeware program called CCP from FSX@War. Now I can have a 5 ship task force with the Nimitz where I catapult off of, find a four ship Ru…

This looks like it could be a game changer: https://overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/google_and_lg_creates_an_insane_120hz_5500x3000_vr_display/1

After reading the reviews about the odyssey I decided to give it a try. I was surprised that despite the higher resolution of the odyssey, the rift actually seemed to provide better instrument readability, maybe it has better lenses. I also thought the rift just fit better and liked the fact that I can still use the rift in a dark room. However one thing that stood out was the quality of the display seemed light years ahead of the rift. The rift always gave me very poor rendering at night, too bright, banding in the sky, bright clouds, it looked like an only 16 bit video game from the 90's. Is there something wrong with my rift, or does the odyssey just have that muc…

Using the odyssey with steam vr how do I disable the acceleration and deceleration effect changing my eyepoint?

Just updated to the recent version and: 1. My Tablet Map is not operational, mean, I can use the mouse to move it or zoom, but it doesn't turn on Any ideas ? Tnx in advance Yair
