Using Kneeboard Builder with Oculus Rift

[Chipwich]

One of the things that you give up while using a headset is having a paper clipboard or actual kneeboard to refer to while flying a mission. I especially notice this when doing a campaign like Red Flag 16-2 for the F-15C, which has a detailed briefing, lineup card, and map for every mission. Using Kneeboard Builder, I now create a kneeboard group for each mission adding those items along with a personal group that I throw odds and ends into, like checklists and a map of my controller config. This works really well, maybe better than the real deal, albeit you can't take notes of course.

My Custom Kneeboard Settings for locating the kneeboard while using Oculus Rift (should work for Vive too).

What do you mean by kneeboard settings for locating the kneeboard while using Oculus Rift? Does this place it on your knee? I thought I read somewhere that it is possible to do that.

i dont think he meant to place it on his virtual knee . if you look at the pic you will see that its coordinates on the Rift screen so you can adjust the location where the knee board shows up on the rift.

thanks for the info!

Just to add to it, at least in the ka-50, if you show the pilot in cockpit he has the kneeboard in the left leg, and you can pass the pages as with the regular kneeboard "overlay", albeit the resolution and detail is not too much.
