Setup

• Start the VRG Tool service application
• Make sure that the VRG Runtime is installed and updated
• Make sure that the SteamVR Driver is enabled
• Make sure that you have the correct Tracking option selected
  • use ‘IMU’ if you are using the XTAL internal IMU sensor without any additional room-scale tracking
  • use ‘SteamVR’ if you are using the Lighthouse/SteamVR tracking system

• Go to Settings – Headset Resolution
  • Set the resolution to a value corresponding to the used GPU/CPU and your desired FPS
    • for the XTAL 3 and XTAL 8K headsets we recommend using the default 60%
    • for the XTAL 5K headset we recommend using higher value (80-100%)
    • make sure to restart SteamVR after changing these settings
    • you should test the resolution/FPS changes when the plane cockpit is loaded, as the main X-Plane menu will show overall higher FPS than what can be achieved in the full scenario

• Optional (if you are using room-scale Lighthouse/SteamVR tracking system)
  • Position the Lighthouse base stations around your tracking space, power them up, and make sure they are synchronized
• Start SteamVR

• Start X-Plane
• Start a new flight session
• Switch to VR
  • Either through the X-Plane Settings menu – VR Hardware – Enable VR Hardware or through a predefined keyboard shortcut
