How to Guide | Virtual Desktop for Wireless VR | Quest 3 & Pico 4 | Microsoft Flight Simulator

Im so glad i had no issues with any if this, already had a very beefy pc with 6g before i even baught my meta 3, im having way to much fun with this virtual shit

When launching MSFS, I can only launch it from Steam. Do I need to install it somehow to my desktop?

Hello Marc. Thank you very much. A Question: Works Pico 4 with OpenXR Tool and Open Composit OpenXR. At the Moment i fly with 4090 and G2 MSFS, DCS, Xplane 11, 12 For X Plane i need Open Composit. Thank you

VR's number one thing is low latecy and 40ms is not in any sense of the word low latency, it's like playing a game on your TV with double latency

Hi thank you for the video I had a question.
Why just not start in Steam VR with Microsoft Flight Simulator why do people do that in Virtual desktop?
I never understood anything about Virtual desktop. Would you please explain that to me? Thank you.

Hi @SimHangerFS could you please tell me how i get the Openxr collumn on the left handside of steamVR settings? Thanks

Sorry, because I'm a newbee... I'm running MSFS with Quest cable and Quest Oculus PC app... I've been told that I need Virtual Desktop to obtain better image quality... but I understand it is just for running via WIFI? I'm not sure if I understand where is the gaining over cable... the cable doesn't bother me...

Great video Mark, I love VDXR, thanks for your help with explaining how to get it working. The results are amazing.

I've running with a Pimax Crystal. Any advantage of using Virtual Desktop versus PimaxXR? I've tried to use SteamVR so I could use the OVR Toolkit but performance is very poor.

What setting on vd would you recommend for a 2070 max q laptop? With i7 16gb ram

Hi Mark! How to see FPS in Virtual Desktop?

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but to use VR on PC you need to have your PC hardwired into your router ?

Virtual desktop is better for flight simulator then airlink?

Great video once again Mark, thank you! Couldn't help notice you were in Malta there when you entered the flight ;)

I heard Meta didn't even bother updating the PC Quest/Rift app (and have no intention to) and is a hot garbage mess for the Quest 3 PC Link..

Great vid. Thanks. New VDXR 1.29.4 Beta is brilliant BTW. Problem with getting the XR Toolkit menu up but developer aware. But I’m getting a good increase in FPS of round 6 - 15 in MSFS and great clarity and sharpness. Hitting up to 60 fps depending on the environment but never below 50 - was around 44/45 previously. 4090 & i9 13900

i have tested but i have 8 fps and 312 latency !!!! i have 3080TI and 12400K . WIFI 6E . Hight Speed network ( MFS work fine in triple screen 7680X1440) i dont unserstand

It should be mentioned that AV1 requires a RTX 4000 or RX7000 Card.

Wow this was so helpful thank you

Has anyone faced issue with blurry dials with the same setup. The open xr performance overlay is crystal clear. I have a quest 3

is there a stand alone version of msfs2020? if so could we not bypass steam? or i'll just wait till next week lol

Thanks!! Great video.

I only use HEVC 10-bit with the Pico 4 and AV1 10-bit with the Quest 3. 10-bit definitely gives me less colour banding than H-264. Sunset skies in MSFS look much better in 10-bit, for example. I also use OpenXR toolkit but I leave SnapDragon Super Resolution on - the image looks a bit sharper, I think.

I had to refund Virtual Desktop from the meta store. I have it on my PC from the Oculus store and have since I had the first released Oculus headset (consumer version). But the meta store version would wreak havoc on my PC once I fired it up and connected to my desktop with the Quest 3. It would open my Edge browser and about 25 tabs of all different websites, and more, it was crazy.

Now will not run think the steamer update has broken it.

Hi Mark, Can you please do a Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo setup guide for the TBM 850 withOUT SPAD or any other rocket sceince software? lol. Cheers for the great VIDS

Thankyou :)

Virtual Desktop XR (OpenXR) is great, that video that is coming out next week. I'm running Pico4, Ryzen 7 5800x3d, and RTX4070ti, and running OpenXR bypassing steam gave a noticeable performance increase. Will likely be a godsend with us non 4090 users.

On Ultra in virtual desktop, TAA 100% render scale, other settings on high and ultra in MSFS
SteamVR: 20fps
VDXR: 38-40 fps

Could probably even push godlike if I lowered all the ingame settings but found a middle ground I like.

Thank you veery much for this :)

great video as usual, however the channel seams to become a pure VR channel now.

Thank you for this, i needed the help!

Thanks very much Mark. This was very helpful! Very much appreciated! Can’t wait to try OpenXR for virtual desktop. Hope it will be released soon!

Great video. Thank you very much. Seems somewhat complex but I'll get it figured out eventually. Not sure how SteamVR fits into the puzzle. I guess I still need SteamVR even if I'm running MSFS 2020 from a local installation (not using the SteamVR version of MSFS 2020).

much appreciated for us newbies...

And what about meta quest pro?

New Steam VR 2.0 or something like that think just happen today. Would be nice if they got it running good.

40ms latency to play multiplayer games like apex or fortnite?

Also depending on one's computer hardware, that "SnapDragon Super Resolution" upscaling seems to work well, I have my settings set to "high" and use that upscaling and it seems to work well on a Ryzen 5600x CPU with a FTW3 3080ti. I can also go into SteamVR settings and mess with the per application video settings up up or down the SteamVR resolution until I get good results for both clarity and performance. :)

Link cable connection on the quest 3 needs fixed I can barely connect to my pc.

is it healty?
