I’m confused, often reading posts bout steam VR… I’ve never touched or seen anything to do with Steam VR.
I built my PC last week, installed windows and updated drivers etc.
I downloaded Steam
I downloaded Oculus desktop App
I installed FS2020 from Steam
I followed these instructions as per the official FS Zendesk:
• Oculus users please opt-in to the Oculus Rift Public Test Channel to enable support:
Oculus Rift Public Test Channel
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.
Then I open FS2020 using the desktop shortcut. Entered VR. Then began the journey with settings… installed tray tool later etc etc.
