Hi , Very frustrated I cannot get it to work yet on my system. Start up oculus then the sim , get to the position where I am flying on the flat screen Press alt tab to revert to vr then just get a static flickering image of side by side views on monitor and headset . Tried all the registry alts and beta / oculus software loading. Any help appreciated. I have a good computer , graphic card, cpu set up

Have you checked its plugged in to the correct ports in gpu and USB in the correct one etc. Try Alt/tab on the world map screen and start vr from that page before loading flight
Yes both fine . Doesn’t seem to change when I alttab as you say . What is puzzling is that it works fine on the two sets of training missions but when ever I go through the world map to fly it generates two frozen images and locks
Hang on though. I have just tried another display port and it now works perfectly. So thank you very much for advice. Not sure why the training missions worked on the other port though . All a bit mysterious
You will probably find everytime you start your pc you will need to re-plug in the usb as it isn’t usually recognised on start up

Why do we have to plug in everytime? I’m having this same problem. I have to play around with my device manager to get it to work. Plug in, uninstall driver, reinstall generic usb hub from device manager, it is getting old. I wonder if it has an effect on performance too? Any help on this would be great.
Thanks
Shouldn’t need to do that. On start up, open oculus, then unplug headset usb and plug straight back in. Will be fine until you shut your pc down again. I turned my pc around so it’s easy access once I realised there’s no fix
Every time I shutdown my pc I get device not recognized error in my device manager instead of the rift hub. I have one rift hub showing but one doesn’t work. I have to uninstall the device plug in rift s and it still doesn’t work. I have no idea how to get out of this. I can eventually get it to work but I should just be able to turn the pc on and have it work.
For me the solution was installing a PCI usb card. Plug rift S to the new card and I never had a problem ever since.

Just a note: I did not connect the sata power.

Maybe if there is only one device connected it has enough juice, but I would definitely connect that extra power cable 
Especially, if there are some cable extensions to it, or weaker motherboard.
If my memory is correct, connecting power did not work. But you can try both ways. It is easy enough.
