Serious Help needed : How to run Flight Simulator VR Mode with Oculus

User Support Hub Virtual Reality (VR)

Hi there, is it this section I need to focus on?

Known Issues (launching the sim – no updates):

  • [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.

If so, I noticed that STEP 3 doesn’t show “OpenXR” under Khronos, I only see a subfolder in that called ‘Vulkan’ so perhaps I need to install OpenXR? - you mentioend I should ignore anything to do with it so I’m a little puzzled (so easy for me to get confused these days haha) :smiley:
