Hi,

I bought Oculus Quest 2 over the holidays and have just gotten it to work with MSFS 2020 yesterday. It was fantastic! Next best thing to a real flight. Still hoping to get better resolution, but TBH I see more of the sights in the sim than when I fly a real plane.

I'd like to try it with the latest version of X-Plane 11 as well, but ran into an issue - when I enabled VR, I see a hangar on my monitor (with a disable VR button at lower left), but just 3 dots in my VR headset.

in MSFS 2020 I had a similar issue - in that case, the images for each eye are displayed on the monitor, and I got yellow screen in the VR headset. HDR was the problem; I had to turn it off in Windows as well as in game. ([Read First] VR Known Issues & Workarounds - Virtual Reality (VR) - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums) I also had to start and quit MSFS 2020 + my computer a few times before I saw OpenXR entry in RegEdit.

What do I need to do to get Quest 2 to work in X-Plane? I don't use Steam VR - do I need it?

Never mind - it’s working!

How is it compared to MSFS? I’ve not jumped on the VR band wagon, but hopefully will do soon. 

In terms of quality of the sceneries, MSFS is next-gen. you don't just see buildings as they are from the air - the elevation view is mostly accurate as well.

As a matter of fact, I was amazed that I could read the shop signs in my neighborhood - and they were accurate! Being able to see the world as they are in real life is quite a treat.

As far as the aircraft - the quality is the same as you see them in 2-D, in both MSFS and X-Plane. If they were well-made, they are great 3-D. I flew Airfoillabs C172 in X-Plane and it felt like a real plane. I must point out one thing in particular that made the experience so immersive, it surprised me: the light reflection on the gauges changes as I look around, just as you'd expect in real life. It was truly impressive.

I wish I could fly A2A planes in MSFS 2020. That would be the best of all worlds.
