VR Cursor no longer visible after 5.2 and 5.2 hotfix

Post by quid21 »

I updated the Client only on each occasion, but I no longer see the VR mouse cursor, which renders VR pretty unusable.

Is there any fix for that?

I understand it should be on by default, and it was visible previously prior to the update.

Same here, no mouse coursor anymore.

I have P3Dv5.2 and the VR hotfix for WMR installed.
Its smooth, but the mouse pointer is gone.

Any fix?

Thanks a lot :)

I have the same problem and have mentioned it in other queries but I'm not getting a lot of answers. A short term work around is to set your default aircraft to something different and that brought it back for me. Not a great long term fix though.

It was also occurring in 5.1 for me. On occasion, I can see the cursor down the bottom of the HMD display but it cannot be moved so it certainly seems like a bug.

I use WMR and SteamVR and it works great for the default aircraft scenario but when I switch, I am often looking at a black monitor with the menu options at the top and the cursor can be moved on the monitor but remains invisible within the HMD.

I have also tried toggling WIN+Y without success. I have also tried toggling in and out of full screen.

Sorry, looks like I had my "hit distance" on the cursor set incorrectly. Not sure if that helps anyone else.

Yeah, no cursor here for me either. Was working previously but now gone.

VR settings all at default, tried reinstalling client etc. but no luck.

FYI Looks like I have sorted it.

Removed the VR hotfix (which I tried previously) but this time remembered to reverse the CFG setting LoadVirtualReality back to =1 and the VR cursor appears as it should.

Thanks will try that - for anyone else who cannot remember how to do that:

To Disable this add-on and re-enable the default Virtual Reality dll:
1) In Prepar3D Menu, click Options->Add-ons
2) Uncheck the Virtual Reality Hotfix add-on
3) Shut-down Prepar3D. Follow the instructions in step 2 to modify the Prepar3D.cfg
a) Change LoadVirtualReality=0 back to LoadVirtualReality=1
