Virtual Reality (VR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

If I am not fullscreen and i venture my mouse far below like the APU switch in the Longitude, it will freeze unless i have the desktop rendition in fullscreen mode.... in windowed mode it can freeze.' Anyone else see this>?

This topic could be sticky here. For VR beginners: https://vr4dcs.com/2020/12/22/fs-2020-vr-experience/ btw. he maxed too much settings in VR section in MSFS according me but you can try. 💪

I've had some problems with my wifi dropping out. It seems to be more when games are running. Now that its crucial the bits keep flowing I'm looking for a way in VR to immediately know if anything is failing. The reason is that I'm seeing some odd things of patches of ortho not aligning with adjacent ones and roads not drawing correctly and I don't know if my wifi has dropped out a bit (I think I've made progress on the issue but not sure) and failed retrieve data or the scenery is lacking a bit. Suggestions welcome. I'm trying to take screenshots but haven't got the hang of that yet either.

Flying VR low and slow in smaller planes is great, but all in all I‘m more into airliners. While I‘m happy with performance and visuals in small GA planes, I haven‘t found the sweet spot for airliners yet. It’s either smooth and uncomfortably blurry or sharp (at least the cockpit) with poor frame rates. Now I was wondering if anybody has been able to get acceptable results with airliners, especially the A320, and how. My specs: i7-8700K, RTX 3080, 32 GB Ram, Reverb G2

anyone need some assistance, I can't bind keys for VR, did I missed anything?

So I just got the Occulus Rift S, pretty cool, experimented some in Google VR and another game, but now I'm trying to do it with FS. I'm probably missing a step, but I open the Oculus app, then I start FS2020, but then when I click the toggle VR button, or a key I assigned for it, nothing seems to happen. Inside the VR I'm sitting in a virtual loft with a fireplace.

Several VR setups out there so which one is the best to get that will work well with MSFS ?

Probably not a big deal, but I'm a bit dissapointed that the steam gauges are moslty flat, the instrument hands are in the same plane as the instrument face. No paralax error when looking at the instruments. A bit dissapointing taking into account all the other details precisely modeled in the cockpits. I remeber some FSX planes having gauges with thier components actually modelled in 3D.

Really tempted to get a VR. Only thing concerning my is how much FPS needed in order to have smooth true to life experience ? And will micro stutters from scenery loading gonna kill the immersion? Thanks !

For Reverb G2 what is better (MFS2020 from Steam): - native WMR with OpenXR Runtime/Developer tools? - Steam VR?

My system specs are in my sig. For the life of me, I can't get VR to function. I bring up MSF2020, and then click on VR?? But all I get is an orange display in my G2 HMD, and the desktop shows a split 180 with nothing but a black screen. Would appreciate any insight/help...

Hi guys, please can someone help my to fulfill my childhood dream? I have spend a lot of money and im am desperade, i have the Quest 2 with the Link cable and a band new pc, but cant get it wo Work that i can play the fsm in vr on oculus quest. i buy the fsr in the windows store. Oculus link works but in virtuell desktop i can not play the game in VR and head motion Windows mixed reality and open xr does not detect the quest2. can someone explain me a way it work ? thank you

I have things working pretty well w/o VR, but while in VR (though it looks pretty incredible), I'm having a few issues, namely: 1. Lots of flickering (scenery, menus, tooltips, etc) 2. Normally, I'm able to zoom with my mouse wheel, but that's not working in VR. Perhaps I need to bind zoom with something else? 3. Sitting in the 787 cockpit, it's almost impossible to read text on the glass displays, FMS, radio, etc. Even switches that are close up are blurry. While in the hanger, I'm able to see the menu OK, especially when looking directly ahead (periphery is blurry). I've set my IPD on the headset itself. 4. I CTD first when clicking on the battery sw…

Trying to dial in my settings to get a smooth experience. can’t quite figure out what settings seem to affect main thread bound performance the most. Any suggestions? thanks, Jason

Hi guys. First time diving in here using only WMR and Reverb G2. I’m used to using fpsVR and steam VR settings to tweak my performance in DCS. what’s the game plan to monitor for MSFS which only uses WMR? Does it automatically employ reprojection? Is there a similar tool as fpsVR to see if I’m CPU or GPU bound and see frame times and framerates? thanks, Jason

Hi all, had the open border blocking my view, so turned off the use stencil thing in debug, that’s solved. However I am also getting a black border on my left eye only reducing fov in that eye. Using v23 oculus software - cv1

can somebody tell me what is the message on screen when switching to VR? can't read it, so tiny and unreadable

Hi. I just updated to run vr mode, but everytime I run vr mode, it enters my quest just fine, but I am greeted with this prompt: please look straight in front of you and VR-CAMERA RESET key to set the pilot view. The problem here is, that I can not change the key assignments as it wants me to. any others with the same problem/ a solution??

cannot refocus as the only 2 entries on my controls listing is for toggling to and fro VR and the toolbar toggle Nothing about focus or VR view reset Initially there were more entries but i did not fill them all out, only the VR on/off toggle and went to see and unnaturally I was positioned outside the aircraft so i returned to the controls list to assign the view reset entry but they were gone Also was expecting groupings under VR_Graphics and VR_Traffic but never saw these Any way of reinstalling update?

My take from interviews of the Asobo team was that they stated if they are going to do VR they are wanting to do it right. For an initial rollout I am very happy with now having VR in MSFS. I have an: i7-7700K o/c @ 4.8 (Kaby Lake), 1TB SAMSUNG 960 PRO PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, 32GB DDR4/3000MHz, ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX HERO, GeForce(R) GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition, HP Reverb G2 I fell in love with your C152 back in Alpha and Beta testing as my favorite default plane to fly and getting to see it in VR was everything I had hoped for. I am so happy you went with a way to have VR graphic settings separate from PC and a vast amount of customizable items with various settin…

hi guys, in vr working great on my system, but for some reason there is a black square box on my screen, very thin lines and clear in the middle. Im using the rift s, running fs2020 through steam but don't have steam vr installed, could this be the problem?

using index, start steam vr, load up msfs2020, go to options, enable VR but no image in headset?? What am i doing wrong? I look around and make sure ui screen is not behind me..or i press space bar to center it..nothing..help 😞

I'm curious to find out what people will think of it. I might get a VR set if its pretty nice. One thing in FS that I never have enough of is screen real estate.
