OpenXvT VR v0.1.0-beta (Meta Quest + PICO)

First beta of OpenXvT VR: Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter (with Balance of Power) running natively on Meta Quest 3 and PICO, built on OpenXvT with OpenXR + Vulkan.

You need your own copy of X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter (Steam). The APK contains no game data.

3D cockpit models: X-Wing Revival by Raptor007 and contributors (originally from the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade project), included in the APK.

What works

• Menus, briefings and cutscenes on a large virtual screen over passthrough
• Head-tracked stereo 3D space in flight (72 Hz)
• 3D cockpits from X-Wing Revival for the X-wing, Y-wing, A-wing, B-wing, TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber and Assault Gunboat; the Z-95, T-wing, R-41, TIE Advanced, TIE Defender and Missile Boat borrow the closest one. The original instruments float in front of you.
• Touch controllers as a gamepad in flight, remappable in Settings > Controller
• Laser pointer in menus and in the pause/settings screen; on-screen keyboard for the pilot name

PICO

The same APK is meant for PICO 4 / 4 Ultra / Neo 3 (untested on real PICO hardware). PICO needs PICO OS 5.9.0 or newer. Controller buttons are the same as on Quest; passthrough behind the menus is Quest-only. If it doesn't start on PICO, please open an issue with the output of adb logcat -s SDL/APP:*.

Install

1. Install OpenXvT-VR-v0.1.0-beta.apk with SideQuest or adb install.
2. Copy your whole Steam folder STAR WARS X-Wing vs TIE Fighter (about 400 MB) to /sdcard/OpenXvT on the Quest.
3. Start OpenXvT VR from Unknown Sources and allow "access to all files" when asked.

Controls

Hold the Meta button on the right controller to re-centre the view.

Menus (concourse, briefing, options, the in-flight pause/settings screen): point with either controller, trigger = click, right grip = right-click, A = Enter, B / Menu = Escape, Y = Space, left stick = arrow keys.
