Oculus rift s issue

Hello all, first post so ill try to make it simple. Im having an issue with launching VR. Every time I do, it seems like it tries to launch but quickly goes back to oculus main screen. It repeats this constantly until I disable VR mode. I can see a glimpse of the cockpit for a split second each time it tries to connect. Any thoughts? I’ve been running it fine for a few months now. My registry looks good and all. Running on oculus Beta as well

I think I am having a similar issue to yours… I recorded a video of what I’m seeing:

I have checked the registry, enrolled in oculus beta, updated drivers (both Oculus and NVIDIA), and nothing has worked, unfortunately. I did notice however that VR mode works flawlessly in a training flight, but anywhere else I run into this issue and it makes it completely unplayable, no matter if I start VR mode mid-flight, or enable it in the menu before launching a flight.

I don’t have this with my CV1 but you’re not alone and find several threads with the exact same problem, even using a Reverb G2 WMR headset. So it seems the problem is MSFS itself and not headset dependent.

You should fill a Zendesk ticket using your video, that can do this thing to be resolved quicker if Devs are aware and can see this.

@CaptIonaM @Offic3erDan76 Hey, I found a solution that worked for me. (After a considerable amount of trial and error by the way!) I would encourage you to give this a try and see if it works for you…

I launched MSFS normally without any of the VR software running. My VR headset was not on when the game launched. I was actually flying around on monitor for a while when I decided to try to enable VR mode. Oculus started up and it worked! I was able to load correctly into the game without the screen flashing at all, and I successfully flew around in VR for a good half an hour with no issues.

I backed out to the main menu and tried a different aircraft at a different airport, and it also loaded into the game completely fine. (At this point, VR software was running.) I have not tried it since, but I think this is at least a temporary workaround. Give it a shot!
