Hello all,
I am very interested in playing LFS in VR and I have all the hardware for it, however I can not seem to find a way to get LFS to work in Virtual Desktop. I can not use Link/AirLink as they have failed for me and do not work properly. Is there any way to use Virtual Desktop?

Can you open LFS in normal desktop, then run LFS in 3D then?

To run LFS in 3D, while in program, you need to SHIFT O, then choose 3D option at top of screen.

And what kind of VR kit are you using?

I can't I'm afraid, since I'm using the software "Virtual Desktop" , it's not classed as Oculus or OpenVR.
I am using a Quest 2

Not sure what your "Virtual Desktop" is, but, I have Oculus Rift, and I can do the following;

Put on Rift headset, which opens Oculus software, both on my desktop and in the headset.

In the headset, you can see the Oculus Home screen and at bottom of headset screen, you see a curved Oculus panel, with various buttons for Explore, Library, Store, etc.

You can also see the whole Windows desktop, inluding the Task Bar at bottom of screen.

If I launch LFD (click LFS, which is on my Task Bar) with an Oculus Controller, then LFS opens up as normal, but there is a transuscent 'Tracking Setup' screen overlaid, so you can set up headset position.


Using normal windows or Oculus to launch LFS both work for using Rift headset, so don't know why you would want to use anything else.

Or is your Virtual Desktop some sort of VPN?

Virtual Desktop is a piece of software which works on the Quest 2 which allows you to use VR wirelessly instead of using a cable. I managed to get LFS VR working using Steam VR and Virtual desktop.

VD not needed as said,just creates more overhead.

Quest2 runs NFS natively

Hello all...

Is there any experience, that after I switch to VR, the VR picture appears on PC screen, controlled by Quest 3, but nothing visible in headset.
