Questions about VR mode

[asirpan21]

A prompt appears when performing VR mode

I can confirm that it has been installed

Excuse me, where is the problem?

I’m seeing exactly the same thing. Used to work, now I get this error message. Am using a Quest 2 and tried both through Virtual Desktop and Link cable. I see this message when the OpenXR registry key points to the Steam location. Changing it to the Oculus location gives me a “no headset detected” error.

Try unplugging the headset at the USB and put it back again. I need to do this occasionally with my G2

You hvae to point OpenXR to your Oculus so it knows what to open.

[Oculus] Before using VR in Flight Simulator with an Oculus headset, the computer needs to know the location of the OpenXR runtime to use. Please follow the steps below to set this location in the registry:

1. Right-click on your Start menu and select Run.
2. Type in “regedit” (without quotations) and hit Enter. This will launch the Registry Editor.
3. Locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1
4. For ActiveRuntime change its value to the one that matches your platform (note: default path is shown below):
   C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\oculus_openxr_64.json
5. Close the Registry Editor. You are now ready to enter VR with your Oculus headset.
