Hello luisclement

I looked at Kayla's post, seems updating Nvidia driver fixed it for some, but not me.

I did a clean install of latest Nvidia driver, and still have NO VR TAB. It is still same as 4.0 and have virtual reality under the views tab, but upon clicking them I get a static view on screen, and nothing in the Rift.

Hoping I am not alone on this one.

Best regards
Blodhemn.

Hello,

Did you try any of the other things mentioned in that thread?

Hi Kayla, yes, tried deleting CFG etc, as well as fresh install of Nvidia drivers. Didn't uninstall fsuipc as saw it made no difference to previous people that had tried.

Gutted as saw the Nvidia drivers helped a few people, so really thought it would work for me too.

I am using Windows 10
16gb Ram
Geforce 980 Graphics card
Prepared version 4.1.7.22841
No Overclocking done.

Hello,

Do you have any other addons besides FSUIPC?

Which headset are you using?

Hello,

Do you have any other addons besides FSUIPC?

Which headset are you using?

Regards,
Kayla

Sorry, yes,

Oculus Rift CV1 & Touch controllers, although not using the touch controllers so far in P3D

I have quite a few ORBX Sceneries ( England, Scotland, Wales, Norway and some others.)
a couple of A2A aircraft C180,& Commanche
Caranado C208 Caravan
Virtavia Rockwell B1, Chinook, C17
And a few others.
Also GTN 750 for navigation,
PF3 for ATC
Ideal Flight 10 to give me consistent flights and feedback on my flights
Ultimate Traffic Live for ai traffic
and for weather using Opus FSI

Although for purpose of testing VR since update, I just booted up P3d without PF3, UT LIve, Ideal FLight etc.

I have not uninstalled all these, as it would take me ages to uninstall, and then reinstall it all. And then set it all up properly again.

Although, if thats what I NEED to do, i'll obviously do it.

Cheers Kayla, Best regards

Hello,

Did you confirm that those addons are compatible with v4.1? It is possible that there was a change made that causes certain addons to not work or interrupt processes.

Check to see if the Oculus is blocking Prepar3D because Oculus considers it an Unknown Source:
https://support.oculus.com/878170922281071/

And lastly, try unplugging and plugging your headset back in.

Hi again Kayla,

No unfortunately I didnt.

From doing a test run just.

UT Live works fine,
OPUS FSI Works fine
Did'nt check PF3 as did not plan a flight,
two other things that are not working are

VRisim ( a piece of software that connects to my VRinsight M-Panel ) it no longer finds the M-Panel
and
my GTN750 gps system stopped working too.

Hoping to avoid a full download and install, as I only have 1/2 mb download speed where I live, so it take's many hours to download the large file.

I'll keep an eye on the forums, see if anyone else has issues still after nvidia update, and see how they fix it.

If it comes to comlplete re-install, then so be it.

In the meantime, i'll get back to my music writing.

Thanks a lot for your input Kayla, keep up the great work, P3Dv4 is awesome, and I am sure I will get mine back up and working in VR again SOON :)

Hello,

Have you tried putting on the headset and accepting the Oculus warning message before launching Prepar3D?

Regards,
Kayla

[Blodhemn]

I have not seen any Oculus warning message?

[Kayla Dillon]

Hello,

When you look into your headset, there's usually a Health and Safety message on startup that asks you to press any button or focus the cursor on the button for a few seconds.

Regards,
Kayla

[Blodhemn]

Ah ok, yes I see that everytime I start it. I'll give that a try now. As I usually let Oculus start when P3D starts.

Fingers crossed.

[Blodhemn]

Still not worked. Still get the P3D waiting message in oculus, but no extra tab for VR in P3Dv4, just the one I always had in views tab, but still when I select that I get a still image that does not track with the oculus headset

Am I alone? or are there still others out there with same issue as me?

[Kayla Dillon]

Hello,

Have you tried deleting your camera.cfg? This will delete any views added by addons. You shouldn't still see the old VR views.

There is another thread with a few encountering this problem, but I haven't been able to reproduce it in house.

Regards,
Kayla
