WMR (WINDOWS MIXED REALITY) HEADSETS
No action needs to be taken if you are using a Windows Mixed Reality headset.

NON-WMR HEADSETS
If You Are Using a Non-WMR headset:

Before using VR in Flight Simulator with an Oculus headset, the computer needs to know the location of the OpenXR runtime to use. Please follow the steps below to set this location in the registry:
  1. Right-click on your Start menu and select Run.
  2. Type in “regedit” (without quotations) and hit Enter. This will launch the Registry Editor.
  3. Locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1
  4. For ActiveRuntime change its value to the one that matches your platform (note: default path is shown below):
    C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\oculus_openxr_64.json
  5. Close the Registry Editor. You are now ready to enter VR with your Oculus headset.
