Hi,
I upgraded my Oculus VR software to Rift 2.0 (Beta) and with it X-plane will no longer load in VR with Fly-inside. I think the problem is with X-plane, not Fly-inside, because xplane 2d will load without the oculus software running, but not with it running...same symptoms with fly-inside out of the picture. I am just reporting it here to let people know and to see if anybody has successfully been able to load with the new VR software...It did load through one time to sitting in the cockpit and seemed brighter and clearer to me so I checked the framerates, and they were 115/36....up from my normal 90/30. Unfortunately the mouse would not work so I was not able to start the plane and fly. I never did get it to load again after that one time.
I tried clearing out all the prefs in both xplane and fi but the results were the same. I am using the latest fi and xplane 11 v10.Rc3. Ran fine before the oculus update and going back to the old software is easy to do so its not that big a deal....just like those framerates!
What happens when I try to load either from the fi icon or just xplane alone with oculus running is that I see a 'flash' of the xplane splashscreen then it immediately minimizes to the taskbar and will not maximize. From the sound of my graphics card winding up I think it is continuing to try and load and the minimized icon screen in the taskbar progresses to the choose a flight screen, but no further. Fly-inside makes it to the 'waiting for simulator' screen so it seems to be doing what I would expect. But xplane never gets any further, so fi just sits waiting for it. Xplane never loads any further and remains minimize in the taskbar. Nor does it seem to progress any further in its load when I hover over the icon in the taskbar.
As I said, it doesn't seem like a fly-inside issue (Suppose it could be a little of both?), I'm just reporting it and wondering if anyone has got it to work. Happy to send the logs up if anyone wants them....
