Jonne Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 That is indeed something to consider. I wonder if there is some kind of kneeboard or browser overlay for VR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most require you to own a Wacom tablet. The VRK one seems to be the most stable https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/211308-vrk-a-virtual-reality-enabled-kneeboard-with-touch-and-ink-support/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I've played it in VR, and it was pretty good. I have Oculus, and at first I couldn't get centered in the cockpit. But after a few technical trials, I was finally able to get it working. Honestly, it feels real. They did an amazing job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In DCS, I'd like to take notes. However, with MSFS, it's more about the flight application I have for manned flight. You could use some other programs to get the iPad to show up in VR. It's a repeater for the iPad to computer (Squirrel 3) and another one to project the window in VR (DailyVR). I've used them before to read Chuck's Guides on my iPad while learning a new plane.

Jonne Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Looks like DailyVR has a direct Android support. As I have a Lenovo tablet, that makes it interesting. Though a browser tab, or anything that can display PDF would already be good enough, as I don't have any navigation software yet. Now how do I get that E6B to show up in VR though...

Jonne Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 I must say, I am impressed how easy and comfortable VR solutions can be (I am looking at you DCS). The performance of the Flight Simulator is also quite impressive for its looks. For now I have only tried the DV20, which unfortunately is currenlty broken and the DR400, which I really enjoy, despite the low power variant. I was also impressed with the auto generated environment. My home field has all its buildings and stuff in the right place, even the gas pump. The parking position I randomly chose was pretty much the position I usually start the aircraft from. That of course also helps the immersion. Of course, my first trip went to my home, again very easy to spot. Actually the whole landscape is close enough to reality, that I never looked at a map and still had no problem doing that 30 min trip to my home town and back.
