kevinfolsom Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi Steve, I have a question for you. You are using an HP Reverb G2 VR headset and I have an Oculus Rift S. I am considering purchasing that HP headset but some of the reviews say that it has problems with tracking. Have you experienced any problems with your headset?

g7rta Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi Kevin, I can’t say I’ve ever had any tracking issues. If you get one, you won’t regret it. I personally find it works very well & pretty much every you tube review say it’s the best headset to use with MSFS and I have to agree (not that I’ve tried many others) Check these out... (I did this one in Xplane) I also have the Quest (first one) & the Reverb is so comfortable compared with that.

kevinfolsom Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Thank you for your reply, Steve. I have found that several online stores are selling it for close to $800. And used ones are going for $650. I have found the headset for $600 brand new. I plan on ordering it tomorrow.

g7rta Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Some are $800? That’s the sign of the times at the moment isn’t it? Glad you’ve found one for $600 When I bought mine (July 1st last year) I regretted not buying it two days earlier..when it was £100 cheaper! So glad I took the plunge & ordered it though, even if it did cost me more.

g7rta Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Great! & at a good price too :) One thing to mention... when I would launch MSFS in VR, it would be quite slow for a couple of minutes, quite jerky. I used to sit on the tarmac & wait two minutes..then it would be fine. But now (after someone recommended this) I reduced all the graphics settings in Non-VR mode to minimum (you’ll get two option screens - VR and PC).. now VR is smooth from the start.. & incredible! You’re certainly going to enjoy it.

kevinfolsom Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Thanks Steve. That same thing happens with my Rift S for 20 seconds up to a minute. I just look around a little while until it pans smoothly. I like your suggestion so I will give it a try.

BillNigut Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'd love some advice: I've followed all the steps laid out to connect my Oculus to FS 2020...But when I switch the bindings on the general options page to VR, it send FS audio to my headset, but NOT the video. My monitor shows the double image that tells me it has switched to VR, but it doesn't show up in the headset. Any thoughts? BTW: I have no trouble switching to VR when flying X-Plane 11, but I really am more excited about the possibilities with FS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hi Bill, Have you bound a key to “centre VRâ€? If not, I’d go into the settings page...controls... change the filter from Assigned to All, then search for VR Bind a key for “centre VR†Then once you’re in VR but not seeing anything... then MAYBE pressing the key to centre your view might fix it? Bit of a long shot I know but you never know, it could be this simple.
