Hi folks. I am tearing my hair out with Airlink and MSFS. Here's what I am seeing: If I just leave everything at default (Oculus app) and start up Airlink, everything is great and responsive. By that I mean the Airlink screens are clear, no display issues and the controllers are responsive.

Then when I start MSFS, suddenly everythiung changes, super laggy and weird black windows, just a mess. And I am just talking about having MSFS up on a monitor. A few weeks ago this was not happening. I don't know what is happening. My PC is very powerful (i9-10900, ASUS RTX 3090, 64gb of memory, and all M.2 drives).

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on and at least point me to a responsible thread or YouTube video that explains how to get it all set up. I don't really want to use a Link cable because then I can't use an external battery pack for additional runtime.

Airlink works great for me for everything except MSFS. And I have the latest state-of-the-art ASUS routerl. It's amazing. I can get 700Mbit download over wifi from 40' away.

I will greatly appreciate any guidance. I swear I had this going fairly well. I don't know what's happened (i.e. what I've screwed up LOL).

Thanks ....... Rob

if not, your air link data rate should be set to 0

Your not using your computer's wifi to airlink with the headset are you, as it is possible to do but isn't how its intended to work. The computer must be plugged into the router via ethernet, and then the router is what airlink's to the headset.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious I just mention it as I remember I tried it the wrong way once and airlink worked pretty well - but not with anything demanding like games and especially not MSFS.

I am connected the correct way. But thanks for the suggestion. As stated, AirLink works well; I am only having trouble getting to the Link Home screen.

UPDATE: After updating my system to Windows 11 and reinstalling some Oculus apps under Windows 11, the Airlink Home screen is now pulling up as it should.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
