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
  • Optional (to utilize the 3jFPS script for better FPS optimization)
    • Unzip the X-Plane_FlyWithLua_v2.7.28_3jFPS.zip file and copy its contents to X-Plane installation folder
      • if installed through the X-Plane installer this will be by default in ‘c:\Users\”username”\Desktop\X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\’
      • if installed through the Steam platform this will be by default in ‘c:\Program Files (x-86)\Steam\steampps\common\X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\’
