The Home of FlyInside Flight Simulator FFS FSX P3D and X-PLANE Message Board

Similar problems here with the latest Oculus software update.
Stutters (long pauses) during flights make Flyinside and the Oculus Rift unusable for flying in X-Plane 10.
Before the software update I was using X-plane 10.52 with photoscenery at ZL18 over LOWI without problems,
now I can't even fly out of EDDT with minimal rendering settings in X-Plane without pauses.
It must have something to do with the Oculus software update, it ran fine while on 1.16.

The appropriate logs are attached.

Steven.

Just to add:

In task manager, X-system shown as "Not responding" during pause.
All four cores of the CPU are maxed out during the pause.

There's nothing recorded in the X-plane log to indicate a problem at the time of the pauses.

Re pauses during flight:

I have managed to reduce the number of pauses during a flight by connecting the Oculus Rift headset to a USB2 port rather than a USB3 port,
but pauses still occur. Other thing to note is that GPU load drops to almost zero during the pause.

Thanks Steven - I'll give that a try right now, but I think my issue may be more severe. I do however really appreciate the advice and will let you know if that helps.

You are welcome.

Also note that I'm using X-Plane 10. My rendering settings in X-Plane, the Oculus tray tool and Flyinside are set to give me
about 45/90 to 52/90 FPS. I haven't tried to push my system harder with the current 1.17 Oculus release.

I picked up the relative info from this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comment ... 17_update/

Hopefully the Flyinside chaps will find out the cause and offer a solution/fix.
I wish I could go back to 1.16, but it's gone.

Didn't work. Haha. Thanks for the thread, I gave it a good read and tried a few suggestions. I found another which calls for disconnecting HMD and Sensors then selecting FORGET THIS DEVICE in Oculus Client to restart their connections. After that, I think I will uninstall XP11 and wait for the native VR version. I happen to know it is NOT Flyinside (which is a great program) but this sort of PC scrutiny is why I left the FSX/P3D community months ago.

Thanks for the help!

"Stutters (long pauses) during flights make Flyinside and the Oculus Rift unusable for flying in X-Plane 10."

Any news from the Flyinside developer on a fix for this?

Things I have tried to no avail:
Buying and installed the four port USB card as recommended by Oculus.
The two sensors and the headset have dedicated access to this card.
Using a single sensor instead of two.
Buying a PS2 mouse to replace the USB one.
Using default X-Plane scenery only, with no objects to draw, trees buildings, cars etc.
I no longer use the Oculus tray tool or the debug tool.
I have tried both the stable release of Oculus Home and the beta release.
I ran all tests from a clean reboot and starting Flyinisde without Oculus Home already running.
The Xbox controller and its USB adapter are removed as I never use the device.
The touch controllers have their batteries removed and placed in a separate room as I never use these with Flyinside.
All joysticks are connected to the motherboard USB 2 interfaces.
I never exceed the NVRAM limit of the GPU - monitored with GPUZ.
The GPU power consumption and GPU load never hit 100%, there is always plenty of headroom.
During a long pause the Flyinside interface will be displayed in the headset stating "waiting for simulator"
Frame rate depends on scenery, but I get a minimum of 40/90 and a maximum of 60/90.
All flying is done with CAVOK conditions.

An indication of some progress fixing this bug would be appreciated.

Hi.
I'm not sure that we are talking about the same thing, but I also had "Stutters (long pauses)" and for a long time I did not know how to get rid of it. And the problem was in the video card. The HDMI output did not provide enough speed. I connected the Rift to the DVI output via the adapter and no longer have this problem.

Thanks for the info, but I suspect that we are talking about something different.
The pauses I get can be in the order of seconds, the longest I got was ten seconds.

This has only been happening since the Oculus Home software was updated from 1.16 to 1.17

Steven.

Have you tried the 1.18 beta of oculus home ? I'll pass this thread on again for you all.
