Before using VR in Flight Simulator, the computer needs to know the location of the OpenXR runtime to use. The location will be different depending on which platform you use: Windows Mixed Reality, Oculus, or SteamVR. Please follow the steps below to set this location in the registry:
Right-click on your Start menu and select Run.
Type in “regedit” (without quotations) and hit Enter. This will launch the Registry Editor.
Locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1
For ActiveRuntime change its value to the one that matches your platform (note: default paths are shown below):
Oculus
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\oculus_openxr_64.json
SteamVR
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\steamxr_win64.json
Windows Mixed Reality
C:\Windows\System32\MixedRealityRuntime.json
Close the Registry Editor. You are now ready to enter VR on your respective platform.
