I look forward to enjoying X-Plane in VR!

It did work via SteamVR in VR3 (albeit slowly) it now seems to be completely disabled. Frame rate is locking, but the rendering is very obviously not using ASW

It’s because it thinks you want to zoom to the ground somewhere outside of the aircraft.

I often “bump” the thumb-sticks, off-setting my views – usually at critical times like on approach. I prefer to “click” the thumb-sticks for the teleport and have the scroll view left as the “un-clicked” mode. In the pilot’s seat, this view scrolling is not active anyway and does not interfere with flight if I bump the sticks.

This ^^^ . I have some issues too.
I’m now able to run it “smoothly” with mild screen hick-ups from time to time, but it requires multiple plugins to get it there. And it’s still not perfect.
Before you ask:
– i7 4.0
– Geforce Titan X SC
– 16GB ram

I have no clue but I’m glad VR4 fixed it. 🙂

Thank you, Chris, but it does not help. I use Oculus. “X” key does something with smoke. “VR View Reset” just resets the view. I have also tried the touch controller to change the view to “yoke”. And I’ve noticed another thing. If I look down and turn my head left and right, blue circle is moving accordingly, but in VR2 it was kind of fixed, stayed the same place (around seat).
And after updating to VR4 everything is fine again! No signs of strafe… What was that?
Well, thank you for resolving the issue anyway 🙂

Yes…I honestly spent ZERO time on that map. It was more of a proof of concept than anything else. I do want to make it a powerful tool for users but I can’t offer a time-frame. It’s certainly not going to hold up any releases.

It sounds like you’re just not seated (in 3D space in the sim) in the pilot’s seat properly. If you’re using the Oculus Rift, just press the “X” key. If you’re using something else, you can bind a joystick or keyboard key to the VR View Reset command or simple use it from the controller menu to put yourself back in the pilot seat. Make sure you’re looking FORWARD with a level head when you do it though.
