So the scenario is this. I stream and play in VR, and because of this I cannot see my twitch chat while playing. I've tried what others do and setup Text-To-Speech, but honestly this is really bad when you have Simple Radio + Team Speak + Twitch Chat all going at the same time. It turns into a real mess and I end up having to take the headset off too look at chat anyway. This lead me to the idea of making a mod that will allow me to pump twitch chat to my DCS chat window. Now, I have pretty much everything working. Export creates a udp client that listens to localhost and receives information, deserializes and currently just writes it to a file. I've written a separate application that connects to twitch chat and sends the data via udp to DCS. Currently this is all working, and working well. My only huge hurdle is getting the information to the UI some how. My goal is to open source this and provide it to everyone not just myself. It's really aggravating as a streamer to not be able to interact with my viewers. And as a viewer is just a frustrating watching this happen to someone im watching. So if anyone has any ideas im all ears, or if you have a solution already please let me know!

I stream and have not found a way around this. They are just re-projecting the left eye to your monitor. For my stream I just zoomed the view in a bit and trimmed off the top and bottom slightly and filled in the left and right borders with content for my stream. Hope they can make the desktop resolution independent of the HMD at some point. If you want to see what i mean, just PM me and ill send you my stream info for you to checkout, no reason to shamelessly plug myself here ;)

Does not work on the Vive, that is a Oculus only feature.

Skate, how did you record this video? DCS always renders on my desktop in an obscure resolution, so when I try to record it doesnt fit the screen.

I know its reported, I know I know. But not having this view working makes it really hard to play some MP servers. I see that its fixed in 2.0, and I cannot imagine thats because of the new engine, considering that if you zoom all the way out and look to the right slighly, you see some of the map rendered. Seems like whatever code exists to fix this exists in the 2.0 client. So ya, please ED, please please please I will be your best friend.... :)
