Captain Orso Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Thanks, I'll have to try it out. For a long time it didn't work, and TS said they weren't going to try to fix it.

Buckeye Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Thanks, I'll have to try it out. For a long time it didn't work, and TS said they weren't going to try to fix it. Yeah it's nothing TS changed, it's just that Dash 2.0 from Oculus now allows you to "pin" windows within your HMD view. TS is still giving us the big " F you" and hasn't done a thing, not surprisingly. So many other programs have provided a VR overlay and it's something they "still haven't figured out". Pretty crappy.

j0nx Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 So has anyone figured out how to pin an app running in your desktop to DCS? I can only seem to pin the entire desktop and it doesn't stay in DCS half the time even though it is pinned. I want to pin Acrobat reader with PDFs I need for procedures into DCS but can't seem to figure out how to pin JUST Acrobat reader?

Gizzy Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Start in Home, drag your windows app (acrobat) off the desktop into a separate window, position it where you want it, use the 'pin' icon to pin to 'experience'.... start DCS.... Home screen disappears, your app window stays... even within DCS... Hope this helps
j0nx Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Well dang I didn't even think of doing that. One dimensional thinking not realizing the apps could be dragged off the virtual desktop! Thank you sir. I will try that later tonight.

j0nx Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 No didn't see any way to drag the acrobat reader outside the confines of the virtual desktop into DCS. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you said?

Gizzy Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 You need the beta version of oculus running.. You need a controller - xbox one will do... In oculus home, the horizontal tool-bar select oculus desktop and whatever monitor if using multiples... It will appear.... Use controller to open, say, acrobat file, use controller to drag it off the desktop (try the left trigger), it is then in its own window... lower bar icon pin to experience using the right trigger... Start DCS.... the window will be wherever you placed it... Use the lower button on your remote do-dah to switch between DCS and Home for, say, to scroll the pages or move the window etc...
Gizzy Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Oh yes, for Oculus Desktop to work you need a FREE displayport. It was only when I made on available that the oculus home desktop functionality worked... Hope this helps...
j0nx Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 I did figure out I needed to unplug a monitor because I run surround but read after that I need oculus touch. An Xbox controller work? I’ll try that. I’m pretty sure Santa is bringing me the touch controllers but I’ll try it with the Xbox controller. I didn’t have much luck with that thing when I first installed core 2.

Gizzy Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Yeah the Xbox controller works okay for this anyway.... use the left and right triggers and the joysticks and you'll soon have it cracked. I have no touch...
j0nx Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 I got it thank you. It’s very buggy though and the app doesn’t come right out a lot of times. The acrobat app seems to be the only one that is troublesome though. All the other apps pop right out. Wayyy better than kneeboards though.
