Re: P3D startup with Oculus Rift not completing

Hi Kayla,

I have had the Oculus setting permitting unknown applications on from the beginning. I get the sound of aircraft in the Oculus headphones.

Automatic updates are also set in Oculus.

Regards,
Ian

Re: P3D startup with Oculus Rift not completing

Hi Kayla,

I had the latest nVidia driver running. Just 20 minutes ago, I did a clean reinstall of the driver but nothing has changed. I have also tried disconnecting the Rift and restarting my system before reconnecting it. No luck so far :-(

Regards,
Ian

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for your suggestions. I removed the cameras.cfg and restarted everything but I still don't see the Virtual Reality menu entry. Under the Options top-level menu, my entry before Add-ons is Sound.

Regards,
Ian
