[SOLVED] My HTC Vive is plugged in, but there is no "Enable VR hardware" button.

Question

Hello there,

I recently got X-Plane 11 and have been trying to use my Vive with it.

I have seen the page that shows how to enable the VR mode, but I am unable to find that.

I have SteamVR running, the Vive plugged into a USB and HDMI port and the checkbox does not appear.

I may be checking in the wrong area but here is where.  Settings>Graphics but I do not see a checkbox.

(Side note) I am able to play other games in VR.  Just not X-Plane

Thank you for reading,

Rye

Hi, you need to run the installer to update and tick the box that says "Beta", this will install 11.2vr1.

You will then see the vr tick box under graphics settings.

Hi,

Thank you for your response!  But I should have maybe mentioned this...

I purchased X-Plane on Steam...  I checked the local files but couldn't find an installer.

If you knew how to enable the Beta on Steam that would help a lot!

Thank you for the response!
