When do you expect VR be available?

I looked around but haven't been able to find any time frames. Just looking for a ballpark idea.

 

Thanks.

December 2024 is the guaranteed release date if not earlier.

+ 2 weeks or 2 years, whichever comes first.

Be sure of it. 👌

Wut!? There’s a ‘guaranteed’ release date? 
Lol. Where does this come from and what happens if it’s not released by December?

Play the video, it starts at the key moment.

Also from their announcement in the Announcements section for the above product:

" Improved graphics, including 4k textures for aircraft externals and cockpits, extended viewing distance, 4k terrain modelling, full 3D implementation for players with Virtual Reality headsets, updated vegetation and new cloud and weather systems."

 

So it is guaranteed at the latest by December 2024 👍

TBH the OP is asking about VR. The DLC is a separate issue and could be released without VR, rationalized by saying that VR is just around the corner, but had to release a non-VR enabled DLC due to intense pressure from fans😉

But it literally says VR will be available with that update, so at the latest VR will be available at the end of the year..... or two weeks be sure 😁

Thanks for the info. I guess I figured if they were in beta testing VR that it would be sooner then the end of the year.

The VR/Visual Update has been in beta over two years now. It has been stated repeatedly that the Visual Update with VR will not be released until trueSKY and Speedtree 8/9 have been fully integrated into the package. Thus it matters not how long VR has been in beta because the Speedtree 8/9 component seems to be still in alpha.

I see. I wasn't aware of the speedtree thing. Thanks for all the info.

Intense pressure from fans? What, all three of them?
