IL2 Will Not Enter VR Mode Even With VR Enabled

[Pietman]

I have been able to use VR fine in MSFS, but the VR interface will not load in IL2 even with VR enabled. Is there a certain key mapping entry that needs to be assigned or something else that I'm missing? My headset is not appearing under "Input Devices" so I'm wondering if that may be a problem as well. (I do not have Steam).

IL-2 requires SteamVR to run most headsets, no native support.  If you already have Windows Mixed Reality portal you still need to install SteamVR, which provides the runtime engine for IL-2.

Thank you [Cpt]Crunch. Thanks to your comment I got SteamVR installed and VR is now up and running. Its disappointing that the developer has no readily available info on setting up VR. The whole thing was needlessly complicated.
