Please Help - Im desperate - VR wont work

Hi all,

So I have an oculus quest 2, with link cable. im pulling 1.3Gb from my usb3 port on the link cable.

My PC is running NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with driver version 466.11
Intel Core i5-10400F CPU@2.90 GHz
15.91 GB RAM

I can see the flight sim 2d window in my oculus quest 2, but as soon as i click to go into VR mode, it flashes inside the headset repeatedly and then crashes MSFS.

What am I doing wrong?

The link cable works fine as I can easily run around in Google Earth VR with no problem

I’ve got nearly all my VR settings on low in MSFS.

Can anyone help? I cant seem to get it to work at all in MSFS VR mode and I have been trying for 5 days to get it to work and still have not managed to get inside a cockpit in VR

You’ve checked the pinned VR help section on here?

Yep I’ve tried there but am struggling to understand

Oculus software use beta version?

Yes I am on the beta

And you have OpenXR or SteamXR set correctly depending on your installation?

Yep that is correctl too

Make sure all your ā€˜pop out’ screens are off before switching. (Checklists, ATC, Weather, VFR Map…etc)

Press the fly button to get you started in 2D.

Put on the headset and use the built-in Virtual Desktop to enable Oculus Link.

When you see your desktop screen in front of you in 2D through the headset then press CtrlTab to enable VR. It should go straight to VR.

Any luck, let us know.

That got me closer. I got into the cockpit for -0 seconds before the whole game crashed :joy:

Any ideas?

I’m in! It’s working finally. Thank you so much.

I will have to play with the rendering to get good graphics but at least I’m in

My advice is to get an HP Reverb G2 LOL…

Haha I hear ya, but honestly now it’s working it’s great. Although barrel rolling above bristol has made me feel sick as hell for real :joy: baby step from now Me thinks lol

I’m having the same problem. RTX3080, good cable etc but cannot boot into VR.
Basically I’ve been up most of last night and all of this morning trying to get the Quest 2 to work with MSFS.
I’ve enabled Beta mode etc and updated. I’ve watched loads of videos all of which give different set-up choices to the point of confusion. I’m an experienced PC user but have never had anything as convoluted as this before. I really need some help here guys.
When I set up a flight in 2D mode and I’m all set up on the runway or parking I then enable VR mode. Sometimes I just get a black screen and other times I get a partial VR view but with black borders either side of me. This is always accompanied by a constantly rotating egg timer icon.

Data on HDD Drive

What have you done so that it is working now ? It would be nice for the others to know

I have similar specs to you (my CPU is the much older 6700K but overclocked to 4.6GHz and my RTX 3080 is overclocked to 2025MHz) but I am using the Reverb G2.

I currently have no issues and really good frame rates. I do find it best to switch to VR in the ā€œWorld Mapā€ screen, just before clicking on the ā€œFlyā€ button, as doing so after the flight had loaded did cause me a few issues in the past. This probably doesn’t apply to your headset but thought I would mention it, just in case.

after a couple of days I don’t think the Oculus Quest is for me. Immersion is fantastic but graphics wise it’s like taking a step back 10 years. I fully understand that at the price point it is a good buy (I love the movie screens etc) but for a flight sim it’s a toy. I just wonder how much better the Reverb G2 is in comparison. Anyone tried both?

Yes and there’s no comparison. The G2 is the clear winner. You won’t regret it.

G2 is double the price but not double the performance. Q2 is awesome for $300,

You’re right about the Quest, it’s not that great. However the Quest2 is astounding for the price and there are many enhancements about to come out for it. It’s a ā€œgo-toā€ for simming, especially as it’s wireless too.

A no-brainer for me!
