Hi all,
I bought MSFS via Steam some time ago and have been running it via WMR+OpenXR with my Reverb G2 up to now, that is, completely bypassing SteamVR. Now I wanted to give this a go to see how performance compares, but until now I have not been able to do so. I tried two ways:
-
Launch SteamVR. Then, in 2D on my desktop, I tried to launch FS via Steam because the 2D SteamVR app won’t give me the option to launch FS. However, I was prompted that “Flight Simulator is not a VR game” (translated from the German output) and that FS will be run in desktop mode. If I do and then switch to VR in-game, it will just be the standard WMR VR mode which means that If I close SteamVR, FS will keep running in VR mode.
-
Launch SteamVR and launch FS from inside the 3D SteamVR environment. FS first seems to start but actually launches in desktop 2D mode. In the 3D SteamVR environment, however, FS is tagged as “playing”, but when I try to switch to it in 3D, I’m only getting a sort of popup window with the FS logo including a button which says sth. like “proceed to application” (again translated from German). However, I can’t click that button because at that moment, neither mouse nor keyboard nor VR controllers can’t be used.
Any ideas & suggestions what I am doing wrong are much appreciated!
