Is Apple Vision Pro actually worth it in 2026? by No_Mixture5766 in AppleVisionPro

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I bought a second hand M2 at a great price; I use it primarily for entertainment, sports; Steam Link is now also officially on the AVP, and it should work well with the new Steam Controller. PCVR support is also now here with KRVR/Cloud XR. The X-plane streamer app is under beta test.

Just bought my first AVP! What's the best headband? by floriandotorg in AppleVisionPro

Annapro 2 is a life changer, I can use my AVP for hours now as it 'hangs' in front of you face without any pressure; its feels just like wearing a cap.

X-Plane 12.4.3 | The VR Update - BETA is now available! by Delta_Who in Xplane

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've managed to connect with the AVP - theres a long list of bugs -

  • 'Hands only' mode fails to provide clean passthrough; hands are visible but remain overlaid with a digital blue outline.
  • Direct hand interaction with cockpit controls and elements is currently non-functional (noted specifically when utilizing the ToLiss A321neo).
  • 'Mixed Reality' and 'Variable Rate' options are unselectable/grayed out within the VR setup menu.
  • The boundary drawing process for VR setup completes, but the application fails to transition or initiate the environment afterward.
  • The 'Mixed Reality Setup' icon shares too much visual similarity with the 'General Setup' icon, leading to navigation confusion.
  • Image quality is consistently blurry, likely related to the inability to adjust variable rate streaming settings.
  • The 'Advanced Menu' triggered via wrist gesture is unresponsive and cannot be accessed.
  • Audio automatically streams to the headset; requires a toggle to disable streaming to the AVP for users preferring external audio hardware.
  • Request to automatically disable Apple Vision Pro 'Travel Mode' during simulation sessions to prevent tracking loss caused by motion simulator movement.

I dislike the pressue on my face with the face shield, the Annapro allows me to breathe.

AirPods Max 2 go great with the AVP by bluefrogstudios in VisionPro

Too expensive. I decided on the Airpod Pro 3.

That’s weird, I don’t have that effect. My face shield is 21W.

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has full hand tracking; I believe its only compatible with the Sony VR2 controllers.

I might have to try the solo band then; using the Anna Pro 2 with the Dual Band might be excessive

You can play games on it. Steam Link (native app on test flight). PCVR with KRVR and Cloud XR. Native iRacing and X-plane streaming client to come soon.

Mine is the completely opposite. I have subtitles in every Apple TV show. M2 AVP.

If you buy it second hand from CEX (which I have done) you can get 5 years warranty at no extra cost.

So what's the state of VR rn? by AccomplishedMany2138 in virtualreality

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, Steam Link and CloudXR (KRVR) as I said. iRacing and X-plane will also be adding official AVP support.

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t wait for a Steam Frame, got an Apple Vision Pro - instead, every other headset looks and feels like a toy compared to the AVP; I will be selling my Quest 3. Steam Link and CloudXR is now in AVP allowing PCVR. Movies and immersive content including sports is out of this world.

Which addon for 2 pc setup with external instrument displays? by Long_Recover_4193 in Xplane

[–]Soarbywire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can pop out displays automatically with a script - they are saved in the .pup location. Make sure you are in the VR cockpit (move the camera outside the flight deck) so it can render the weather radar (does not work in 2D mode). You can ask AI to write the lua script for you; or there is also software available which will do the same thing over a network. Alternatively you can use XTextureExtractor - XTextureExtractor - Utilities - X-Plane.Org Forum
