What's the difference - WMR for SVR & WMR?

[Chief Instructor]

I have both on my rig. When I power up my G2, the default Windows WMR portal opens. If I close that, then launch WMR for SVR, just Steam VR opens, my headset is blank and WMR for SVR appears not to running, as it has the "Launch" option enabled in the Steam Library.

The only way I get a picture in my headset is if I launch SteamVR, which then automatically launches the generic WMR portal.

 

I'm confoooooozed!

Hi, You need both the WMR Portal and WMR for SteamVR running at all times for DCS (with a G2).

No need to even worry about it, Chief.  Just plug in your G2, wait for WMR to automatically recognize the HMD and boot up, then just start DCS like you normally would.  Everything that needs to run will run automatically from that point forward.  You'll see an exploding orb of triangles in your G2 when WMR and SteamVR link up, and next thing you know you'll be in the DCS hangar screen.

I always thought that say if you plug in the G2 and wmr boots up is to close that one down first then let DCS open SVR and WMR Steam version. I have been doing this from the beginning from all the guides in here.

 

Now all I do is just start DCS and everything comes together automatically. I have my G2 tuned perfectly now so I do not open up steam to run FPSVR lately as everything is running smooth.
