This work is looking extraordinary - congrats to the entire team for all the progress that's been made on 1.10!

I am sorry to bring some bad news. It was not something that we expected and have never said that we support (yet), but VR does not work in xE1.10 and will not work in 1.10. How much work it is to get xE VR ready is uncertain. We will concentrate on that in a later stage. Sorry... As for the screenshots: Clouds are not in focus in these tests and are therefore very simple. Disregard artifacts. (I have completely fallen in love with the HotStart TBM...)
However, you more recently stated the following:

Enough chatter in the screenshot section please Take it in the discussions section.
Allright - an update:
Hi there. Is no news good news? In this case it's a yes and no.
I'll start with the "no side" because we have had yet another obsticle to overcome. We were at a point where we had to start tackling some performance issues. The way we wanted to overcome this and had planned to for some time, threw some serious negative side effects at us which would potentially ruin VR and even track IR compability. So we had to take a step back and rethink. We had a couple of intense days with the beta team wondering what the hell was going on..
It's been 10 days since my last update on the progress. I have been way way way too busy on several fronts and have only answered some questions here, on discord and in the Threshold forum sporadically.
So what is the "yes side" - the positive in not hearing from us? We have come up with a solution. And we have been working hard on getting back on track.
What does this mean?
We have remade some of the lego bricks that are the different parts of xEnviro and are now reassembling and working our way back to the nice cloud definition/resolution and grainless clouds we had in b19. I wish I had more positive news once I published this progress update - but we're serious about getting the performance right.
Screenshots are from b35 - that number should tell you somethng about how much has been done the last 10 days...
thereby potentially suggesting that 1.10 is now VR-compatible. Any clarification on this is greatly appreciated, as this 1.10 release is sure to be a major step forward for X-Plane. Thanks very much.
