Anyone using a virtual desktop?

[Buckeye]

As I work towards learning the Warthog now, the Harrier in a few weeks, and eventually the Hornet and Tomcat...I realized my life would be made much easier if I had a way to "Alt+Tab" in VR to watch the YouTube training videos and read the PDF manuals/guides.

 

The only outlet I am aware of to accomplish this in VR would be via a Virtual Desktop -- has anyone tried this with DCS? If so with app/program did you use and what were your thoughts?

 

Hopefully this will help many of us to get ahead of the curve here with all of the upcoming learning we will be doing for our new jets :thumbup:

I use Big Screen myself, but do not use it in combination with flying DCS.

 

Oculus new software - Dash - coming in December is going to make this much easier I think.

Interesting, perhaps I should just be patient for now...early December would be fine (Harrier would have only been out for a week or two at that point), but if it drags into late December I will probably grow impatient. Still, it seems like the best option is to just hold off for Dash/Core 2.0.

 

Thanks for calling this out, I had no idea it was coming. You're always a wealth of knowledge, my man :thumbup:

Most welcome!

Not sure when in Dec likely latter part would be my guess, and it will be beta initially.

Figured as much, I've gotta figure out a way to learn if it will allow me to switch between DCS and YouTube app...or if the multiple app stuff only works for supported apps like Spotify, Chrome, Facebook, etc.

 

It is just such a PITA to have to take my CV1 on and off constantly when trying to watch video tutorials and read the manuals, as I fail my way along with learning these new jets.

Do you use it in conjunction with DCS? If yes, does it function well?
