X-Plane 12, iRacing Launch Free Vision Pro VR Clients for RTX 40 and 50 PCs

Summary
Free visionOS apps—X-Plane Streaming Link and iRacing Connect—now let Apple Vision Pro users play the two PC simulators in VR by streaming from a local gaming PC.
visionOS 26.4 made that possible with OS-level foveated streaming, which Nvidia's CloudXR uses to sharpen the area a user is looking at through eye tracking.
The official clients aim to beat generic tools on ease of use: both connect directly to the sims, while iRacing also tracks and passthrough-segments a physical racing wheel; X-Plane offers a manual passthrough cutout.
Their hardware reach is narrower, though: CloudXR-based foveated streaming currently requires Nvidia Ada or Blackwell GPUs, limiting support to RTX 40-series and 50-series cards.
That advantage is also less exclusive than it looked in March, after Clear XR and $15 KRVR added similar foveated PC VR streaming for broader OpenXR and SteamVR libraries.
