X-Plane 12 and iRacing are getting official Apple Vision Pro support through NVIDIA CloudXR, with mixed reality passthrough for physical controls, automatic cockpit alignment, and support for visionOS 26.4 foveated streaming.
This is one of the clearest examples yet of Vision Pro moving beyond generic PC streaming and into app-specific workflows built for real yokes, wheels, pedals, and cockpit layouts.

Why this matters
The big deal is not just that Vision Pro can show a PC sim. It is that the workflow is tuned around real-world control setups. Passthrough keeps your physical hardware visible. Alignment makes the virtual cockpit line up with your real one. Foveated streaming helps keep the render budget where your eyes actually are.
What changed
This is a more mature stack than basic remote desktop VR. Vision Pro, CloudXR, and app-level integration are starting to form a serious prosumer and training display pipeline for simulation.
Mews take
If Apple wanted proof that Vision Pro can matter outside native visionOS apps, sim is one of the strongest categories. It uses the display quality, eye tracking, and passthrough in ways that feel genuinely differentiated.
