The VR Community need answers to the problems

This is the reality, more than a decade after the release of the Oculus Rift DK1:

I don’t get it. For me, VR is the single best thing that happened to flight simming (followed closely by FFB input devices), yet less than 20% of dedicated simpilots (so dedicated that they take part in the Navigraph survey) use it. Maybe the rest have children or pets that need food and shelter?

But it is what it is. We’re the niche inside the niche. I’m grateful that Microsoft and Asobo didn’t drop VR support entirely. If you consider the impact on sales, it’s probably not even worth what little effort they put into it right now. I can work around most of the bugs, I learned to tolerate the performance issues. It would be nice if they improved VR support, but, as a community, I don’t feel we can “demand” anything from Microsoft, not even answers. Well, we can, but I doubt it’s helpful.
