What’s the process for opening VR on Steam?

So I have the Steam version of MS2020 and an Oculus Rift S. What’s the start up process? Oculus software, Steam VR then the sim? Or do we not need Steam at all? Thanks in advance.

I would do, Oculus Home, then load FS2020, make sure you key bind the VR reset key before you go in and turn VR on, should load right up.

Some have been having better luck with the beta version of Oculus Home, myself included.

Hey I’ve downloaded the beta for Oculus and Steam VR is set but MSFS 2020 won’t let me bind a key to VR. It’s not selecting when I click on it. Driving me mad…any ideas?

Answering this question for any SteamVR headset users (Vive/Index):

Open the game without SteamVR running. When you’re in the menu, hit CtrlTab and it will switch into VR mode and automatically launch SteamVR. Then you should be ready to put on the headset.

I found that opening the game with SteamVR open (which causes the game to run in Steam’s theater mode), then launching VR mode from the MSFS menu, causes the game to immediately crash to desktop.

Just discovered the key bindings are part of the keyboard settings and not what appears to be what I see in the VR menu. VR now working as intended. Thanks for the help :grinning:
