Plenty of discussions about this topic here and in many other places. Personally I prefer OVR Toolkit and I’m not seeing a big impact on fps–even though still using a 1080 Ti.
@LarryJ2056, unforunately, your latest suggestion didn’t work, either. It DID cause me to actually get a LNM window, which is progress, but that winder didn’t work and all I got was a spinning “circle of circles” that never did anything. Thinking I might have to have LNM working in the background to make that work, I fired it up and tried again with no change. I’m open to any suggestions you might have, as being able to have a sectional (or something that approaches a sectional) in view inside of VR would be a very useful thing to have. As it is, I’ve just decided if I’m not on a IFR flightplan, I’m just going to pretend airspace doesn’t exist and fly where ever I want to, which works just fine for me, even though I’d rather have it present.
But for, say, a student pilot prepping for an upcoming solo x-country, that wouldn’t be of much help, and they’d probably be forced back into 2D mode with a paper sectional. Which isn’t that bad, I guess, except that once you’ve been bitten by the VR bug, 2D just doesn’t cut it any more.
In LNM, tools-> do you have “Run Web Server” checked? If not give that a try. Also sometimes my LNM window inside my VR cockpit comes up blank. Click on the Gear icon which is the last icon on the right and click Reset Panels Then click on the LNM icon again.
This does work, I used it for two hours this morning.

I was following this thread yesterday and ran into the same problem, I’ll give your suggestion regarding ticking the server option a try as it would be great to get lnm in vr. I tried the reset icon but could not get it to work yesterday.
Can’t you just bring your entire desktop to VR? With as many apps open as you wish?
I do it with G2, placing the desktop on my virtual knees as the oversized kneeboard (to make it a bit smaller I lower the Windows desktop resolution to 1280x720).
There is a issue with moving the mouse focus from desktop to the cockpit, I solved it the brute force way by building the hardware panel, so I don’t need to touch the mouse to operate small GA planes I fly most of the time.
@LarryJ2056, that worked, TYVM!! Though I also have to have LNM turned on in the background, which is too bad because while it’s not exactly a resource hog, with MSFS running, everything is a resource hog lol!
Can you do me a favor though, even when you’re replying to me (perhaps especially when you’re replying to me), could you tag me? If you don’t, the only notification I get is that somebody replied to a thread I’m subscribed to, and in a (relatively) short one like this, I’ll probably see it, but if it’s one of those super-busy threads (say one related to a new patch or similar), you could reply to me and I’d never know it, and might unintentionally ignore you. So, to be safe, just tag me, it’s easy and painless lol…
Thank you on both counts!
Kev
PS… The tagging thing goes for everyone reading this, not just when Larry is posting, or I’m the one being posted to. Ciao!
Thanks Larry, selected run web server worked in oh, and it worked, thanks for your help.
@LarryJ2056 is it normal for the in cockpit winder to only allow you to zoom out to a certain point? I started noticing it was sluggish (and it is) when doing thing, but I thought it was just being sluggish zooming out, but I eventually noticed it got to a point (and it wasn’t all that far) that it just refused to go any farther out.
Any advice on that one?
Sorry @KevyKevTPA, The behavior you describe is what I experience also. I’d personally like to be able to drag the map with the mouse. No idea how to implement this feature.
@LarryJ2056, well, I would say at least I’m not nuts, but my wife would disagree with that statement, so let’s leave it with at least I’m not the only one! I put an issue report in, hopefully it will get addressed.
