When will VR support be added to Microsoft Flight Simulator pilot? Reedus

The ability to fly through virtual reality has been on everyone’s mind since the first announcement of Microsoft Flight Simulator. It looks like we will try it very soon, as the authors of the game mentioned adding VR to the game.

Jörg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, explainedthat the team has been working on VR support for over a year, but now they need player feedback. The Closed Beta is expected to begin in late October or early November with Windows Mixed Reality headsets and will later expand to other devices.

To try the beta version, you need register in the Microsoft Flight Simulator Insider program and send your DxDiag, instructions for which can be found on the official website, and of course you will also need the above-mentioned headset.

Along with the news of closed beta testing, Neumann also announced the second world update. The first update was about Japan and came out this week, now the US is next. The plan is to release updates every two or three months.

In a very hazy and distant future, features such as seasons and shared cabins will appear. The first is what was teased during development, but the task of adding seasons is not easy and development will take a long time. The priority now is to make the multiplayer mode flawless.

Developer confirmswho wants to implement DLSS and ray tracing, improve digital elevation data, and more.

You won’t have to wait long as the team is currently preparing a game for the HP Reverb G2 headset, which was developed in collaboration with Microsoft and Valve. Until recently, the headset did not have a release date, but we now know that the first pre-orders will begin in early November.

The good news is that you will be able to test these features before they appear in live play thanks to the beta test, which is expected to start in late October or early November.
