Hello,

 

X-Plane 11 with VR functionality.

In the first beta versions X-Plane 11.20vr ... X-Plane 11 has become VR compatible. 


Note: X-Plane 11.20vr ... is of course still in beta at the time of this post! At present, only Windows is supported.

Mac OSX will follow in 2018. Linux ..... I can not say right now :)

In order to get this X-Plane 11 VR version, with the installer you must select "Check for new betas as well as updates".

The installer is located in the installed X-Plane 11 main folder or can be downloaded here:

http://www.x-plane.com/desktop/try-it/ (One Installer, All of X-Plane).

 
If you want to install the new version 11.20vr1 (beta), you should make a backup of your X-Plane 11.11 Final!

X-Plane 10.20 (or higher) will continue to work without 3D glasses!

 

At the time, only the 3D glasses Oculus Rift CV1 and HTC Vive are supported in this X-Plane 11 VR version.

Here are more important informations from Laminar Research, developer of X-Plane 11.

System requirements from the manufacturer Laminar Research:

Here are some hints and system requirements:

  • X-Plane 10.20vr ... All X-Plane 11.20 (or higher) versions are suitable (Box version, Download version and Steam version)!
  • Windows 7 64-bit or higher (MAC OSX to follow in 2018).
  • A good graphics card and a good CPU (NVIDIA 1070 or higher or equivalent ...). Intel graphics cards are not supported.
  • A 3D glass (VR device with controller). Compatible are currently only Oculus Rift CV1 and HTC Vive.
  • Driver SteamVR. Only the SteamVR driver (app) is needed (freeware). You get the SteamVR application on the Steam web page. A free Steam account is required with a Steam Client.
    But X-Plane 11 does not have to be bought through Steam!

 

Open a new topic here for questions, discussions, experience with a clear title.

Depending on the development, I will further structure this sub-forum for X-Plane 11 VR ....
