FlyInside is custom tailored for FSX in many ways. If you are a halfway serious FSX simmer it’s almost certainly worth the money. No way that vorpX, which has to support literally hundreds of games, can provide the same level of integration with a single title that almost two years of work on supporting a single game can offer.
rFactor2 will indeed be fixed. Provided your issue was the startup crash that many (but surprisingly not everyone) encountered.
Check out ‘FlyInside’ – There is a free demo that will get you flying with a DK2 / CV1.
The problem is that it is impossible to tell whether issues are caused by Windows or vorpX if you use a beta Windows. The purpose of insider builds is to test Windows. We neither have the intention nor the resources to test vorpX with new beta Windows releases every few weeks that are used by maybe 1 out of 10000 Windows users.
If you think you found a bug in vorpX, please ALWAYS check whether it also exists when using a public build of Windows before reporting it. We cannot give any support for issues that you encounter with a beta Windows build. It’s just not feasible, sorry.
Please do not use insider builds of Windows 10 for vorpX (or anything besides testing out of curiosity if you want my advice). If you do so for whatever reason, DO NOT report any issue you may encounter. vorpX will never be tested against beta/insider builds of Windows and there can be no support if you use them.
If multiple games are not hooking in a similar manner, there probably is a program on your PC that creates a conflict with vorpX by also hooking into games. Quite a few programs do this, not all are obvious. The trouble shooting guide in the help lists a few things to look out for.
The failing Optimizer is VERY strange though. vorpX uses system defined paths to your user directory to locate config files. If that fails for multiple or all programs, something is severely wrong. Please double and triple check that you really do not have a different admin user and also run vorpX both as admin and not as admin. There aren’t many thinkable reasons for these system paths to be invalid other than issues with the user account.
Also make sure that vorpX does not run inside any kind of sandbox. Some “security” software might do such things without you knowing it.
Thank U Ralf, today i bought also battlefield hardline (officially sopported by Vorpx) but it plays like the unsupported Rainbox six siege in a very similar way, too much zoom and absolutely NO vr effect. I hope Vorpx is not running in the correct way otherwise is absolytely useless without vr effect.
I have flyinside (similar to Vorpx) using with Prepared v3 and THAT IS A REAL VR EFFECT.
I’m really curious to see Vorpx to work in the correct mode, please help me.
Thanks
What do you think about an on screen keybord inside vorpx. I´m playin games such as Eso or Wow with the Oculus and a Razer Hydra an I miss the oportunity to use the chat inside this games.
greetings
Hannes
I’m getting a black screen here too. Windows 10 64 bit, Oculus 0.8.
Nothing at all works inside the DK2 – not even pressing delete to bring up the VorpX menu. Mouse control seems to have disappeared – I can see no mouse pointer anywhere.
This is on a pretty vanilla rFactor install – just installed today and only ran once or twice outside the Rift to make sure controls worked etc. Only one extra track – Oran Park – downloaded.
Has anyone a idea how I can make vorpx move my head correctly inside this bus-simulator? You normally use your middle mousebutton to move the view around. Can’t figure out how to fix this :-/
sometime vorpx can fail to hook up on your dk2,
you might want to try the trick with oculus demo scene,
1. First, run oculus config demo scene keep it open
2. Then run your game as usual
3. After inside the game, press alt tab and close demo scene and oculus config
4. Check again inside your oculus, and see if vorpx is hook up on dk2 now,
sometime this little trick work fine
but sometime game made with UE4 tend to produce crash or freeze after the logo, anyone have similar issue ?
I think what they mean is you have to launch quake with dx9, sort of like Bioshock 1 I think.. what you do is inside properties(right click, go to properties) then in the field and -DX9.. now I don’t recall what field and the exact thing you have to type in… but it should be something like that.. you should be able to find more info I’m just trying to point you in the right direction… Its easy once you figure out what field to change.. I just don’t remember right now.
Not working. Maybe I should move this to the support section?
VLC shows a black window on the desktop and plays fine in the Rift. But even after clicking the window, borders or inside, still no way to get the ingame menu to come up.
I have the Xbox 360 pad plugged in. Could that be the problem?
Thank you NipOc. Only one question:
What runtime version are you using to start. I have now 0.7 installed. Then i have to save the 0.7 exe in other location, install 0.5 runtime and copy the 0.7 one or inside out?
Apologize my short understanding to perhaps obvious questions….
Forget Vorpx for FSX.
You have a sublime alternative to make it.

As real as you are in the cockpit and zero configuration, it works out of the box.
It works as a dream with FSX Steam Edition, I re-bought FSX for this.
OK, I did a bit more digging and it seems to be in the hands of BATTLEYE.
I found some comments on a youtube video (HERE):
“It appears that ARMA 3 game update 1.46 (enhanced battle eye protection) has broken Vorpx ability to engage. With Battle eye off Vorpx 0.8.10 is fully able to engage and display as per the above video routine. Email has been sent to vorpx and also battle eye, I will update once I know more, my installation was fully working online with battle eye on before the 1.46 update, and again with battle eye off it works fine, on it does not work, to me that means the battle eye is the issue.”
“In short Battle Eye cant allow Vorpx to access the Dirrect X files. There was a lot of back and forth about it, ben from road to vr was looped in on the emails and also given a cliff notes, I asked him to chase both sides to find out the inside scoop as there will be a lot of Arma 3 Dk2 players that are going to be devastated about this.”
These comments are from about 2 weeks ago. Does anyone have an update as of yet? Ralf, if you read this, do you know of any status?
