ok. try these other steps.

Uninstall and reinstall the game:

Uninstall MSFS 2024 completely.

Reinstall the game.

7. Try to fix the installation file:

On Steam, you can try to "fix" or "restore" the game's installation file, if available.

8. Check if MSFS 2024 is installed on the external hard drive:

Flight Simulator X may have issues if installed on an external hard drive

yeah, I think they are so far behind sony in vr development that they should open up the series x to third party headsets and steam vr. That way they will get a big slice of the rapidly growing vr community. These new consoles are potential vr beasts.

This support is intended to answer questions about the use and configuration of devices.

Yes, it is possible to achieve a stable 30+ FPS in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 VR with your RTX 5060 Ti, NUC 12 Extreme, and Meta Quest 3. The key is to find the right balance between settings and potentially utilize features like DLSS.

1. MSFS 2024 Settings.

Graphics Settings.

Try reducing the visual fidelity in MSFS 2024. Consider lowering the graphics presets (e.g. from Ultra to High or Medium) and disabling features like ray tracing to improve performance.

2. VR-specific settings.

Quest Resolution

If you are using Virtual Desktop or another VR streaming app, reduce the Quest 3 resolution in the app settings. You may need to experiment with lower resolutions to see what works best for you.

3. Foveated rendering. Enable foveated rendering in the MSFS 2024 VR options, which will focus the rendering on where you are looking in VR.

Motion smoothing. Enable motion smoothing to reduce judder, but this may impact overall performance.

Check the Refresh Rate. Make sure your Meta Quest 3 is running at the highest supported refresh rate, which is usually 90Hz or 120Hz.

Virtual Desktop or PC VR. Use Virtual Desktop or a PC VR platform to stream gameplay to your headset.

Background Apps. Close any unnecessary background apps that may be hogging resources.

Atenciosamente.

Well it's more like screen mirroring, every other application can be viewed on the vr headset, like the browser or steam, just not the desktop, this is also true for programs i regularly use like Discord or Streamlabs OBS, even different RX Runtimes have the issue like Steam VR or Oculus
