This version is getting close to the performance I have with FlyInside in 11.10 with my Oculus Rift.
The team did a great job in improving so fast.
The clarity and interaction is almost as good as DCS.
Hopefully Vulcan wil improve the framerate so it can beat DCS and FlyInside.
The interaction with the cockpit is great. If only my Leapmotion could be used like in FlyInside (always these wishlists) however this would loose the interaction that is now implemented.

In reply to Denny Locke.

Same here. Activating 3d mouse does x-plane goes from 30-35 fps to 22 fps.

Anyway, playing below 45 fps is not good. I experienced some suttering in some zones… and my computer is not bad:

i5 4670 @ 4.2 Ghz
1080 GTX 8 Gb VRAM
32 Gb RAM
Oculus Rift CV1

In reply to Maxim. I also experience this on my Rift.

thank you such much guys for the fantatic work on VR, I am back at x-plane after 2y break, and it is almost orgasmic! I can now suceed all my complex landings because I FEEL everything in the plane.

In reply to Chris Serio.

Chris,

Im surprised and immensely pleased that you answered my ramblings so concisely and quickly. Thank you for clarifying this matter. I have fsx with flyinside, p3d4, and xplane 11. Needless to say, Ive forgotten the other two and am really enjoying xplane 11. I started with Xplane in the mid aughts, and my return to it last year has been quite rewarding, and only continues to grow. You guys have my unending support.

Best

In reply to sparker. Unknown. I've been meaning to look into what it would take to do this though.

In reply to Gschultz. You're not doing anything wrong. X-Plane in VR is CPU limited. If your GPU is really bored, you can increase the resolution of the VR textures by bumping up supersampling a bit in SteamVR Settings. That will make things in the cockpit a little bit sharper. I have found the Vive to behave very well down to about the mid 20s for frame rate. Can you detect it's not totally smooth? Of course. Does it bother me? Not in the least though I respect that some people do get motion sick from it. My point is that whatever feels "good enough" for you is good enough. There is no reason to panic about not maintaining 45fps.

Will it be possible to pop out the 530 and 430 while in VR during the 11.20 run?
