My better rig is 900ks away at home, and was too big to carry on a train ( I did think of a trolley) I knew VR was coming and was super excited. But with no rig, No VR as I would be away for at least eight weeks caring for elderly mum. With some luck I was able to afford a gaming laptop but not top specs and buy a Quest 2 plus a cheaper link cable.
I read all I could of everyone’s experiences and then became aware of the steps needed to enable MSFS 2020 VR in the quest 2. It only took six days for the Quest to arrive and another 48 hours of reading hundreds of webpages, forum posts and trial and error and editing the registry.
Finally I was ready, the steps were done loaded MSFS and waited until in the cockpit of the A5, then hit ControlTab after take off with the AI piloting-recentered my view. Suddenly I was in the plane not looking at it!
It was amazing, I yelled and laughed with joy "I am flying over Queenstown NZ " just wow!
The poor Laptop got to 92 C, the engine and ATC sounds were coming from the laptop not the headset ? but that was ok. It was everything I hoped for.
Since then -a 30 min flight over Sydney Harbour and a quick spin over the Gold Coast QLD in a thunder storm. Plus today around Uluhru.
Sure it will get better, but coming from my first flight sim a green neon stick figure plane- this is like being in a holodeck! well done Asobo!
