So after the latest patch I attempted another flight in the Fenix.

I still had issues with the toolbar not loading correctly, laggy mouse performance and terrible TAA performance (settled for DLSS Performance preset F as recommended but still a blurry mess Vs TAA).

Fair to say at this point Asobo really don't care for VR and better to remain on 2020 for the foreseeable? Soooo frustrating that we've gone backwards after 4 years...

Well none of the main 3 VR issues were fixed, the performance has gone backwards since Patch 3 so...yep, still fundamentally broken in many aspects. 

I keep trying again and again to have a decent flight but it's nowhere near MSFS2020 levels yet for me, as there's always some issue going on that just ruins it for me and I end up quitting. Other people are having success, but others are also struggling (see official forums).

Finally yes, I think this release with it's VR issues alone shows a total disrespect for us from MS/Asobo and namely Martial who has shown in the past he doesn't give a word not allowed about VR users. They got it "working" 4 years ago and left it at that, they have zero interest in VR.

Since the last update, all I get is a black screen when activating VR in 2024 using the Quest 3 + Virtual Desktop. Previously I would get the black square and get rid of it by getting in/out of the main menu, but now just a black screen.

You can easily fix the black box yourself.

Disable HDR in WIndows and in the flightsim.

This is not a black box, but a black screen. It seems that other users are also experiencing this as seen in the official forums:

Yes, VR is still broken.

One of the worst bugs is autogen lights being visible in one eye and not the other, plus the black lines. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/blurry-lights-and-black-lines/676295

I guess bugs need to be voted on, otherwise they do not get fixed.

there's a bunch of stuff that is different in one eye that I come across during flight - trees, airport lights, reflections and shadows.

Why do I get the feeling that none of these bugs will get fixed anytime soon...

I'm doubtful too.

DCS went through a stage like this but managed to fix it.

Because history shows us they don't, fact!

I have reverted to automatic codec on VD and have not seen the black screen for a couple days. Not sure if you are also using a specific codec.

apart from that, I am quite happy with my HP Reverb G2 at 90 fps, settings mostly on MAX, AI Traffic

You guys running Virtual Desktop with black screens know about this right?  I had the same problem when my system "upgraded" to 24H2.

From the VD Discord:

Windows 11 24H2 - H.264/H.264+
There are 2 known issues with H.264/H.264+ on the latest update of Windows 11.
Streaming the desktop with H.264/H.264+ will sometimes fail and fallback to HEVC.
Streaming PCVR games with H.264+ at high bitrates (> 287 Mbps) with SSW set to Always will cause a black screen. Workaround: set SSW to Auto or use a different codec or lower bitrate.
