Any thoughts?

That’s a very impressive cockpit you are working with.

I don’t remember how you do it with Oculus, but if using the OpenXR runtime as you would for MSFS, in the bottom of the Mixed Reality Portal window, there is a right facing arrow that you can click on. When you float your mouse over it, the label will be Start preview. If using SteamVR as you would with DCS, on the menu in the upper left hand corner of the little window which pops up, click Display VR View. In both cases you can make the image full screen, although it will force either right or left dominance. For your purposes, will probably be better than the two eye look.

An Oculus user will need to chime in for that solution.

Unfortunately, not an option as far as I know.

I do think there should be 3 options:

  • No display at all (and save some GPU juice - although not significant)
  • Single screen display (to provide external viewers a more compelling view)
  • Dual eyes display (for whoever finds it interesting)

If using Oculus you can use the Oculus Mirror program. It can be found in the directory “C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics” and the executable is called OculusMirror.exe. This will open a window and display what you see in the headset. You can choose to view both eyes (the image youre seeing in game play) or just the left or right eye (which will be the result youre looking for. You can also use the mirror tool if youre recording video of your flight to get just the one view.

Does turning off your monitor free up GPU performance in VR?

No it does not.
