Microsoft Flight Simulator Set To Receive Steam VR Support In December | TechPowerUp
 
Microsoft Flight Simulator is set to receive VR support later this month after a closed beta took place in October & November. VR Support will be available to all Steam VR compatible headsets, not just the HP Reverb G2 and other Windows Mixed Reality devices as originally stated. Microsoft Flight Simulator is a notoriously hard game to run and the addition of VR will require some fast hardware to run. The closed VR beta featured minimum requirements of an i5-8400/Ryzen 5 1500X, NVIDIA GTX 1080, and 16 GB memory. Microsoft is aware of the high hardware requirements and is working to introduce a series of new performance optimizations for the title.
 
I think a lot of VR users are looking forward to this. 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    They sure did rush to get the VR working,  but no helis yet and higher requirements. Most of the newer game studios seem to be pushing the VR more than debugging the games.

    Yes they are going to give it VR support,  but paid DLC for Helicopters if we are lucky by 2022.

    Probably will need crazy PC specs. Looks like the game doesn't go over ~40FPS in a monitor with high end hardware.
