Varjo Aero - is OpenComposite still required for IL-2 OpenXR?

[Patricks]

With my HP G2v2 I used to switch between SteamVR and OpenComposite using the "OpenComposite Runtime Switcher" to run IL-2 using OpenXR. With the Aero's OpenXR compatibility I have not used the switcher which (just checked) is set to SteamVR. Does IL-2 require the OpenComposite API to be running with the Aero also?

Any OpenVR game will require OpenComposite to translate it to OpenXR if you want to use OpenXR. If it is already running in OpenXR even though you've set the switcher to SteamVR then it means there's an openvr_api.dll file from OpenComposite in the game's bin directory (the so-called "per-application installation method").

Use the per-game install instructions above.

Apparently I had installed the openxr api file from GitHub to the IL-2 bin/game folder way back when I got the G2. Thanks for the clarification!
