For some reason, even though I am geting a green active notice I can't see the menu in VR ie Ctr+F2. Any ideas why. It used to work fine before the latest update (OpenXR Toolkit B3 (1.0.1))... Windows 10, store MSFS and Reverb G2.

I took on board what you said about not using Cull for the outer ring, so double-checked my settings. It wasn’t set to Cull, and nor is it now, but the problem persists. On the whole, it doesn’t cause too many issues, as I already know what most of the menu texts say.  But it can, occasionally, be a tad  problematic when I can’t read the text, nor guess. 
 

Having said all of that, my actual in-game experience is much, much better now, so I’ll just have to live with the above as a necessary evil. Thank you very much for all of the blood, sweat and tears that you have poured into this little miracle of an app. Much appreciated 🙂

It's a known bug, where FFR is being incorrectly applied to the menu window. You can temporarily disable FFR while in the menu.

Well try to fix it, but it's not trivial.

I had the same problem at first, then I realised that I'd re-mapped the keys.  The down key brings up the menu, so for me it's now CTRL+Down Arrow

Thanks for the heads-up. At least I know that it’s not my PC arsing about 🙂

A little off topic here, but for DCS lovers who haven't already discovered it, this app below works very well for me so far and has a noticeable FPS gain, plus you can use the OpenXR Toolkit with it (maybe with a couple of bugs I haven't yet encountered)

In addition, there is a very active dedicated channel with the Open-Composite ACC developer in our OpenXR Toolkit Discord, where you'll find lots of help and cutting edge information!

Newb question...I've downloaded Openxr through the windows store and then downloaded this version through the link in the first post.  Do i now have two installations of Openxr or does the installation in the first post here update the windows store version?

OpenXR is the program itself.  The OpenXR Toolkit is a set of tools to adjust the settings within it and so they are two totally different things.

in addition to OpenXR Toolkit, and to add to the confusion, there's also an "OpenXR Tools" which recently had it's name changed from "OpenXR Developer Tools". It too is in the MS store. It will allow you to set a fixed render scale and turn reprojection on/off. All 3 applications (including OpenXR itself) can coexist and you use the two tools to tweak various things

I tried this toolkit but I could only get the menu on screen in vr for about 5 seconds. Too short a time for me to change any settings by the time I find the keys it’s gone ?  I am probably doing something  totally wrong !   Can you adjust the settings in 2D then launch into vr ?

cheers
