June 29, 20178 yr Hey guys, I know this can be done, I just can't find where I found how before! I have P3D, FI and a Rift. When I launch P3D, it launches Oculus Home, and if I kill the OH services, then it loads SteamVR! I'm sure there was an ini file tweak that allowed me to turn off that behaviour. Anyone know what it is? Graham

Copy this into a text file and save it as a .Bat Click it to run @echo off echo Preparing to disable Oculus Runtime Services pause net stop OVRService echo Oculus Runtime Stopped, enjoy your non-VR experience echo When you're ready to re-enable VR pause net start OVRService echo Oculus Runtime Services have been re-enabled echo Enjoy your Virtual Reality experiences and pause We are all connected.....

June 29, 20178 yr Recently I removed the VirtualReality.dll that is found in the main P3D folder and it works a charm. I'm using V4, and I learned this and it no longer fires up the rift. If I want to use vr I just insert the file back were it belongs. I imagine v3 is similar.
June 29, 20178 yr Author You're a god amongst men ShabbyLeo! Knew someone would know how I did it.. :) As a matter of interest HiFlyer, you can stop and start the services using Oculus Tray Tool which is a sticky in the Oculus general forum if you prefer that method - I find SteamVr still starts up every time if I just switch the OVR service off, but renaming the .dll fixes both.. Thanks both Graham
