Hi Raashid

As phil said FlexSim can not support recording a 360 degree video yet.

But FlexSim can support using an Oculus Rift. You can find "VR Mode" in View> View Settings in Version 7.7 or higher.(see pic attached)

Once Oculus Rift is properly configured, you can check this mode to view your model in 360 degrees.

FlexSim does not support recording a 360 degree video of your model.

FlexSim does support using an Oculus Rift VR headset to view your model in 360 degrees within FlexSim.

I recently purchased a Oculus Go. It can view your own recorded 360 photos and videos with its default Gallery app. With its portability, it is a very nice demo tool for simulation models by viewing recorded animations or screen captures. Does FlexSim has a plan to support recording 360 videos or pictures?

Thanks,

Alan

There's an issue on the dev list to add support for recording 360 videos. It is currently tagged with version 19.1.

Thanks. I guess 19.1 will be released early 2019? Looking forward to testing the new functionality!

As of version 24.2, this feature has not been implemented into the software. Other priorities prevented it from being developed for version 19.1.

We do not have a timeline for when, or if, it will be implemented, but I have let the developers know there is still interest in this request.
