Oculus Quest Flight Simulator

[Yogprasad Moneta]

Youve embarked on an exciting journey by deciding to merge the immersive world of VR with the realism of Microsoft Flight Simulator. As someone with considerable flight sim and PC knowledge, you'll find this process engaging, though it does have its nuances.

In Conclusion

Integrating VR into your flight sim experience transforms how you interact with the virtual skies. It might take a bit of tweaking to get everything running smoothly, but the result is well worth the effort.

Following your instructions to get my Meta Quest 3 working with MSFS2020 VR, I come to the instruction to set my "Oculus Headset As The Default Device". I can't find any setting in MSFS VR settings for Default Device, Device being a Display?

As we eagerly await the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator X, let us not forget the way that Flight Simulator began. One day after the release Flight Simulator X, we will complain that we what more. We want this..., we what that. I'm impressed with ...

So I've been reading a lot about flight simulators and the most recent release "Microsoft Flight Simulator" - but what exactly is this? Can you give me a full information guide about what this is and about flight simulators in general?...

HiI am using the Prepar3D v4 flight sim. I am looking at getting a VR headset, I have been looking at the Oculus Quest 2.Any thoughts on this headset? I would be interested in any feedback on other headsets being used.Hope VR Headset is the right ...

Again, I had no issues playing Flight Simulator 2020 in VR when running Oculus Software version 37, but as soon as I got my update to Oculus Software Version 39, I could no longer play Flight Simulator 2020 in VR.

I'd like to try to downgrade to oculus quest software version 37 again but I don't know where to get the files and am not sure if I need to downgrade just the quest 2 with an APK or the Desktop application or both.

Ok, I have an update. It's working perfectly now. I got update 41 a couple days ago and was encouraged by a brief ability to play FS2020 for about a minute before the screen locked up and my FA-18 crashed into the ground. After that I couldn't play at all. I checked my nvidia experience app again and found that there was just recently an update to the game ready driver. I had issues with the nvidia experience app failing to download the updated driver. Shortly after that I went to the nvidia site and downloaded the latest game ready driver for my video card and installed it. Since doing that this morning, I have been able to play and restart and play again countless times today and am back flying in VR with no issue. I even did Mach 10 in the Darkstar and can confirm the absolute altitude limit in the game is just above 275,000 ft. Please give this a try if you haven't already. If you are running a 3070 or probably any 30 series RTX card, you should install version 516.59. As part of the install of the driver from the direct download from the website it looked like it replaced the nvidia control panel and geforce experience. I'm not sure replacing those apps made any difference but thought you'd like to know exactly what changed.

Hey TheOriginalPsychron! Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We'd love to get your MSFS 2020 to work properly! First we would like to make sure of the following to see if these could be causing MSFS 2020 to freeze up! Please check the following:

We hope this helps! If not, please consider submitting a support ticket through the link here: ! There we will be able to do more in-depth troubleshooting, we'll be able to request log files as we cannot receive files in our Community Forums. With the log files, we will be able to take a deeper look into what could be causing this to happen! Here is a link to an article describing the steps in order to collect your log files: How to Collect Log Files! The steps you'll need will be the 2nd half of steps, not the setup logs! When submitting your support ticket, please attach your Log files and include all the steps you have taken in attempt to get this issue resolved to speed up the process!

Well, I followed all these steps and opened a ticket with support. They have collected logs from me 4 times and I am now waiting while they do additional research. The ETA on that is 3-5 days. We'll see what happens, but so far, nothing has worked.

I avoid chat as the primary contact method for reasons like that and others. I opened a request and attached the log files, then basically copied and pasted my post almost verbatim into the support request. So far, I have heard nothing back after being told they would require a few more days to investigate. I think today makes business day 5 which was the max extent of the notified waiting period before they got back to me. I'll see what happens. As with any support department, you have to get past the front lines who may or may not be interested in doing their job by trying repeatedly until you get someone who actually cares about supporting the customer base. I think the most important thing to remind them of, this worked under version 37 and has been broken since the oculus version 38 software release.

Well this is the response I got:

"I see here that you were currently using a Windows 11. Relatively, I'd like to let you know that Windows 11 is currently not supported by any Meta products. With that being said, I highly suggest you to please try to revert your operating system to Windows 10...."

I've worked in I.T. for close to 30 years. Never in my career would I suggest to someone to revert their entire **bleep**ing operating system. What an absolute joke. What average user would even know how to do that? I sent them a response with some choice colorful metaphors and will be looking for a different headset.

I've been in IT for about the same amount of time. I agree with you. Suggesting Windows 11 isn't supported is the lazy way out, used by people who don't want to do the work. Luckily for me, due to early adopter fears, the system I had was just updated to 11 and I had the ability to downgrade, so when they gave me that line, I reverted to 10, reinstalled everything, went through all the same steps they'd given me before, and provided additional logs. That's where I am now. Waiting for them to reply. Like you, I am tempted to look for another headset if this is the kind of support we're going to get.

Agree with the statement. Downgrading to an older operating system is simply wrong advice. Feels like a hack to run legacy software. Oculus team please resolve this as the FS2020 VR experience was one of the primary reasons of buying the Quest 2.

I recently acquired FS2 PC DVD version in the hope of using it in VR with my Oculus Quest 2 headset (which works perfectly with X-Plane 11) and its connection to my Asus ROG Strix15 laptop via the Oculus optical fiber cable.

Alas, when I have Quest connected (visible into device choice of Oculus app) and rift store menu into the headset, I load FS2 on the PC and I have no suggestion or option to restart... Neither VR options in the settings ! FS2 runs standalone as usual...

Have you definitely enabled Oculus Link from within the headset itself? It caught me out when I first got the Quest 2 after a Rift S. You have to connect the cable, but you also have to enable Oculus Link.

I think "YES", because to get the "VR flying dashboard" on the Quest, you must enable the headset into Oculus WIN app and see the green light of the correct link between headset and PC. All this has no still dependance with which VR app you will load after...
