Discussion Hub General Discussion

Some of us are certainly looking forward to the upcoming VR update.
I would be interested in who already owns a headset and which one.

I own an Reverb G1 / V1000 and can´t wait to get into the air with it :slight_smile:

I own the Oculus Rift.

But honestly find it painfull to fly with a VR-Headset when you have to check PDF/Tablet (approach plates, etc.), search metar, search frequencies, etc. all the time…

So maybe for simple VFR Flights ‘outside the realism scenario’

I’m getting a headache just reading your post haha. VR is about chilling out for me.

Avitab for x-plane was excellent for this. I hope something similar appears for msfs.

In the meantime just do as much as you can before putting the headset on.

I’ve had a Rift cv1 and a Rift S, both of which I’ve now sold and pre-ordered the Reverb G2.
Here’s looking forward to November. :+1:t3:

Can’t wait to get back to VR.

Oh boy, have you been missing out till now…! :smiley:

As I’m the owner of a Reverb G1, I can assure you that everything you’re looking for is possible with a cute little Steam app called “OVR Toolkit”, it’s everything you’re looking for!

You can freely place individual windows (or applications, respectively) and/or whole desktops inside VR, reposition, resize them etc. and, the best of all, hide them automatically as long as you’re not directly looking at them. I used to have (Navigraph) charts, vPilot, check-lists, flight plan etc. spread all over my cockpit. You can even interact with them (like you have to do when going through charts) via mouse.

Lately, I switched to just showing the iPad (like it was mounted on the yoke) and the vPilot window placed where the eyebrow-window of the 737 would be like, and I’m done. Flight plan, check list, charts etc. I have on my iPad and I can manipulate it either via BT mouse connected to it or with my fingers, since it’s laying in front of me.

Have I conviced you…? :wink:

I have Reverb G1, Oculus Rift CV1, PSVR, Oculus Go & Oculus Quest :slight_smile:

@TheMacallan1605 does OVR Toolkit support OpenXR ? I guess MSFS will not use SteamVR

We need something like Avitab, avitab is so amazing !!!

I have a Reverb G1 currently gathering dust.

Hmm, I really hope that we’ll be able to use SteamVR tbh and that’s just because how amazing OVR Toolkit is IMO.

Oculus Rift CV1 and a HP Reverb G2 on pre-order. :grin:

I thoroughly enjoyed VR in X-Plane 11 before my wife stole my headset for Beat Saber… The HP Reverb G2 was my reward for “being willing to share”. :rofl:

I’m looking very forward to VR in MSFS.

It would be better if OVR Toolkit releases an OpenXR version …

Having 1 less layer would be good for performance :wink:
