Microsoft Flight Simulator Update Brings Virtual Reality
Microsoft Flight Simulator was built from the ground up to achieve three key goals: realism, accuracy, and authenticity of flight. Today, we're excited to share that Virtual Reality for Microsoft Flight Simulator is now available on your favorite VR headset for PC, offering simmers the deepest and most immersive virtual flight experience in the new simulator to date.
The flight sim community has been a very active and insightful partner in shaping how the team approached VR, and continues to be a critical partner in our continued development as we make further improvements and add new features to the simulation. Adding VR to Microsoft Flight Simulator was a direct result of community feedback, and we look forward to continued involvement in the future of the franchise with us.
Our goal was to make this update accessible to as many VR players as possible. To achieve this goal, we have worked to make this free update compatible across a wide range of supported devices, including most Windows Mixed Reality headsets (including the HP Reverb G2), Oculus, Valve, and HTC headsets. To access VR, make sure you have downloaded the latest update for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Grab your VR headset and try this captivating experience today on Xbox Game Pass for PC, Windows 10, and Steam.

It’s still pretty poor. I doubt VR will get much worse if at all.

Yeah, you can see the terrible stuttering even in the video. VR is about smoothness and fast response times. In current state, the MSFS has neither. If they manage to make it run completely smooth at 60FPS, it would be passable. But smooth 90FPS is the goal here, which is impossible to achieve right now.

oh please, if you don't know what you are talking about it is best you don't say anything... VR in MSFS is just fine and will get better. Right now you can easy get 30+ fps and smooth. You DO NOT need 90 fps for flight sims including in VR!

Maybe not 90fps, but 60fps is mandatory, especially when you sit in an Extra 300. I think, they would rather fix all the other issues first, before switching to VR!! There are still so many panel and plane issues..., it looks awsome, but has nothing to do with a "simulator" yet, in my opinion it´s just a Xbox game...

What is the situation with fps lately on FS 2020?
