OVR Toolkit/fpsVR in VR possible?

Update:

  1. Start Steam
  2. Start Steam VR
  3. Start OVR Toolkit
    -here you can set up, which window you want to see in VR (I decided to see my second monitor, so
    everthing which is there will be shown later in VR-Window
    -In the settings of OVR you can connect the window to one of the controllers. To do so open the OVR
    menue by turning the controller as if you want to read your wrist watch
    -you have to allow, that the controller can manipulate the content of the window (important)
  4. Start MSFS 2020 (I have the Microsoft Store Version)
  5. Switch to VR in MSFS 2020 (default is STR + TAB)
  6. You do not see the controllers in VR in MSFS 2020, but they are effective.
  7. If not allready visible, connect the window you want to see in MSFS to your right controller
    -Open the window, which you configured in OVR settings. If its not yet opened,
    take your left controller and turn as if you want to read your wrist watch.
    -If you move the left controller to the window, which is ideally connected to the right controller,
    you see a small yellow spot: Thats the mouse!
  8. Trick: With Alt Tab you switch from your Window to MSFS and can controll both with your mouse
    In my case that´s not neccessary, because when the one controller comes close to the other
    the small yellow spot showes up.

I use the HTC Vive + Steam-OVR + MSFS 2020 from the Microsoft Store
I wanted to add screenshots with the neede steps, but unfortunately the screenshots just show the simulator but not the OVR windows. Hm any ideas?

Cheers
