Hello,

For all who have flickering VR, check you don’t have any game window (ATC, map…) open on a second monitor when launching VR. It makes it crash !

HP Reverb G2 jumping between MSFS2020 and WMR

Hi, I’m complete new to VR and just got my first headset (HP Reverb G2), especially for msfs2020. But I have an issue, so far haven’t manage to get VR mode to stay on, it keeps switching to WMR then back to MSFS then back to WMR etc until MSFS finally crashes and I’m left with WMR running. Played around with all my settings based on a few videos that were posted on this forum and even lowered everything down to minimum in case its performance related. Downloaded OpenXR dev tools and configure…

Possible solution: I had the same issue, and after much investigation and reinstallation, I found that if you have multiple screens and have “ANY” control windows such as ATC or VR map open on one of your other screens, you will experience the flickering and potential crash of MSFS.

Simply close the ALL control screens on other monitors before entering VR.

Hope that helps many who are having this issue.

You could have just read my post above… and avoided much investigation and reinstallation

I did a flight today using VR and everything worked perfectly. CJ4 with a SimBrief flight plan.

I rebooted the computer and when pressing CTRL-TAB to enter VR the VR binocular screen flashes quickly and the mouse or keyboard don’t work. The G2 only has a solid blue display. I can only close MSFS using the task manager. This was using the identical aircraft and flight plan as before.

The G2 works perfectly in the Cliff House.

I haven’t made any configuration changes. I’m stuck and could REALLY use some ideas on how to fix this issue.

Thank you in advance,

Mack

Hi,
I couldn’t use VR when I create a own flight in the world map. Always crashing. Only mission playing was possible. I found that there were two windows open on my second display ( Flight map and COM). I started my flight via world map without VR. When I saw the flight I saw also the two windows open on my second screen. I close the windows and started my VR. Now it works. I didn’t saw the windows before because the second screen was off and disconnected. But the flight simulator always thought that I use a second screen. In the missions the windows are all closed. That’s why the missions works fine.
Sorry for my english. I am not a native English speaker. I hope could help. I found the issue because I read this posts. Thanks guys and have nice Flight.
