Is your Oculus Rift set up correctly so that you can see the demo programs and other software from the Oculus Store within the headset?

If so, open the settings in the Oculus software and check the "Unknown Sources" box so that apps that aren't in the Oculus Store (such as FlexSim) can also access the headset.

Then check the VR Mode box in FlexSim.

@phil.bobo Thanks, Any idea what needs to be setup on the Rift? Everything installed automatically setting it up. Allow Unknown sources is turned on and when VR Mode is checked in FlexSim nothing happens.

If you are using the Consumer Version of the Oculus Rift, then you need to use FlexSim 2016 Update 2.

FlexSim 16.0 was released before the Oculus CV1 was available. FlexSim 16.0 only works with the Oculus dev kits (DK1 and DK2) using the Oculus Runtime 0.7 or 0.8.
