How to see P3D (or MSFS) in my HP Reverb G2?

[Clutch Cargo 385]

Company gave me a set of the HP Reverb G2 to use.  Bear with mind as this is my first time using a VR headset.  I seem to have it plugged in correctly and found myself inside that Microsoft Mixed Reality Portal.  I have P3D running on my desktop and I see there is a selection to run in VR mode.  I do that and I see my desktop display splits into two identical halves.  But I don't see anything other than the MS Portal when I put on the headset.  How do I "switch" to see P3D (and for that matter MSFS), in my headset???? 

BTW, I did watch several YouTube vids on the subject but they only talk about setting up the headset, adjust settings, etc., but never get to actually running a game in the headset.  WHat am I missing?  Thanks.

In the settings part of MSFS, in the VR section. you can assign a control to take you in and out of VR, can't remember if it had a default, but I set mine to a joystick button, and go in an out of VR using that.

Thx Overlord, I will give that a try.  How about P3D?  Anybody out there on how to activate P3D?

Finally got it... it was Steam VR I needed to install.  Time to go freak out!!! 😵

Better fps using Microsoft Mixed Reality Portal instead of Steam VR with a G2. You have to modify a line in Windows Registry. Otherwise you won't see anything, which is what you experienced.

I don’t think so. That isn’t an option in P3D.  And in MSFS, I’ve never had to mod the registry….works great w SVR.  Thx,
