I'm a long time Rift CV1 user in XP11 and P3D. Today my new Reverb G2 arrived, which is my first WMR headset, the first time I've had controllers (only ever flown with HOTAS) and only my second headset ever. I've become very used to (entrenched?!) using the Oculus app etc with the CV1, to the point this new WMR seems to be confusing me and I could do with some help please! I have completely unplugged my CV1 (inc. tracker). I've updated both sims to their latest versions (inc. Beta in the case of XP11). I have installed the "Mixed Reality App" in Windows, as well as "Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR". I have updated SteamVR (had it before, just never used it). My first question is; is anything else needed?

I can enter VR in both sims but the graphics are very poor (it looks as if I've returned to the '80s!) and if I look upwards the flight sim world disappears and the SteamVR world appears (i.e. the dark blue/pink dusk/night scene with stars) and I have an FPS of 1 or 2 (not a typo). Even if my hardware were rubbish I wouldn't expect to be switching between the sim and SteamVR worlds... which makes me think something else is wrong. The "Mixed Reality App" world works well for me, but I should also mention that the StreamVR world has a slide-show FPS for me (it is basically unusable)... so I'm wondering if the problems I'm having in the sims ultimately relate to the problem with SteamVR? Any insight or advice is very welcome please!

Many thanks indeed 🙂

There’s some settings in this video. I just got my g2 a few days ago & had similar results to yours - until I restarted everything! It’s much better now, flyable, my 3770k is the bottleneck. Ryzen 5900x on preorder!

your 1080ti is insufficient for the reverb G2 in full res
