louism Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Has anyone with a WMR headset (like the reverb G2) figured out a way to get a VR session working properly? If I start x-plane directly to VR from within steam-vr, x-plane crashes when I start a flight with the challenger. I am starting using a non persistent flight to skip the FBO. (I reported this bug and sent the log file here in the forum.) If I start x-plane and the Challenger flight in 2D and then activate the VR hardware when I am in the cockpit, x-plane is extremely stuttery. This is not a Challenger problem. It's an x-plane problem I always have. Any information as to your workflow to get it working ok would be much appreciated. I have been mucking around for 3 hours now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrogers Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I have the Reverb G2 as well and I'll provide a few comments on my experience. I start in persistent mode in 2D, but I have a button on my yoke that's assigned to put me in the Pilot's seat so I use that and then once my framerate has settled I start VR. I find that if I give the sim a moment to settle after I start VR then the stuttering resolves and the framerate is reasonably stable.

wakevortex Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Totally agree with the above.. I find it crucial to wait for x plane to "settle" in 2d for a moment (usually accompanied by a jump in frame rate upwards) Switching to VR too soon usually ends in a slide show.. Then I use a button to switch to VR on my yoke, and again allow that to settle before doing anything.. One other tip..if you need to come OUT of VR , I tend to then close steam VR completely before going back in, as sometimes reentering VR again produces a slide show.. works well for me !

louism Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thanks folks! I’ll do that! I wish Laminar got serious about WMR devices… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
