HP Reverb G2 without controllers

Post by JR2M » Thu Apr 08, 2021 6:02 pm

Hi All,
I have a Reverb G2 and followed Buzz77´s HowTo. But I do not have controllers and so I cannot click to start the simulation. Did anyone get Condor running without them? Any idea?

Cheers Jürgen

PS: MS-FS2020 is running great.
Always happy landings

Hi Jürgen, yes. You don't need controllers. I'm also using the G2, and Lenovo Explorer before that, so as a WMR user I've never seen the Oculus environment. In fact, I don't use the WMR Home environment either. I've only used VR for seated sims, flying and racing, and have never used the controllers.

But I'm not clear where you're getting stuck. Looking at Buzz77's guide, pg 12 "Starting Condor 2 in VR" section, can you identify what you're seeing?

I'm away from the gaming computer and haven't flown in a month or so, but what I *think* I remember about how I start goes like this:
-Power up HMD (WMR Portal auto-starts when the HMD is detected)
-Start Condor via Condor 2 VR shortcut of the Helper Tool
-Choose free flight
-Click "Join"
-Loading screen shows
-SteamVR auto-starts
-Have Fun!

I'll take a guess: maybe you're seeing the SteamVR Dashboard in front of the cockpit view? If so, try NOT manually starting SteamVR and instead let it auto-run when needed. I have seen the Dashboard when I manually started SteamVR.

Good luck
