How To Get Rid Of The Annoying Blue Circle In X-Plane VR

I could not stand the blue circle that SteamVR would put around you in the X-Plane VR cockpit. Thanks to Dan on YouTube I found this post by DazzyB on how to remove it. 30 seconds and it was banished forever. Here’s the method:

1) Quit SteamVR if it is already running (you don’t need to quit Steam itself).

2) Launch Explorer and then locate your main Steam folder.  Normally this will be located in C:\Program Files (x86) unless you installed Steam with the custom option.

3) Go into the ‘config’ folder and then open up the file called ‘steamvr.vrsettings’ in Notepad.

4) Copy and paste the following lines of code directly below the line that starts with the { character (located at the very top of the file)…

"collisionBounds" : {
       "CollisionBoundsColorGammaA" : 0,
       "CollisionBoundsColorGammaR" : 255
    }  ,

5) Save and close the file.
