ArkhamUK Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Hi ya Anyone know of any way I can view pdf viewer/ web browser within VR? I'm new but want to view things like chucks guides whilst I'm in VR flying to help me learn. Grateful if you can help? https://www.youtube.com/user/creativeterror Don't worry I got this... probably
TWC_Alamo Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Take a look at kneeboard builder. It allows you to put a PDF on your kneeboard and view it in the cockpit or in VR. www.dcskneeboardbuilder.com [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] TWC_Alamo Denver, CO Military Flight Sim I7-7700K, 4.9 GHz, Z270-Gaming MB, 16GB, 512GB EVO-960 NVMe M.2, 512GB WD Black NVMe M.2, 1 TB SSD Raid, EVGA RTX 2080ti, Samsung Odyssey Plus, TM HOTAS/MFDs, MFG Crosswinds, Gametrix 908 JetSeat GA Flight Sim I7-5820K, 4.2Ghz, Godlike Carbon MB, 16GB, 512 GB EVO 960 NVME M.2, 2 X SSD, EVGA 1080ti, HTC Vive, 3 X 4K 55" TVs, 4 X 27" Monitors, CH: Flight Yoke, Throttle Quadrant, Rudder Pedals
ravenzino Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 I asked for same advice not long ago. But none of the solution seems ideal to me so far... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=240877 i9-9900K, G.Skill 3200 32GB RAM, AORUS Z390 Pro Wifi, Gigabyte Windforce RTX 2080 Ti, Samsung 960 Pro NVMe 512G + 860 Pro 1T, TM Warthog HOTAS, VKB T-Rudder, Samsung O+ F/A-18C, F-16C, A-10C, UH-1, AV-8B, F-14, JF-17, FC3, SA342 Gazelle, L-39, KA-50, CEII, Supercarrier Preordered.

ravenzino Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 I'm recently learning the A-10C. It happened that the manual has a well consolidated HOTAS mapping table in 4 pages. So I added those pages into the kneeboard, using the tool TWC_Alamo has mentioned above. Not great as it is static, but it solved my 10% of the need. As to my rest 90% need, I'm still waiting for a good solution... i9-9900K, G.Skill 3200 32GB RAM, AORUS Z390 Pro Wifi, Gigabyte Windforce RTX 2080 Ti, Samsung 960 Pro NVMe 512G + 860 Pro 1T, TM Warthog HOTAS, VKB T-Rudder, Samsung O+ F/A-18C, F-16C, A-10C, UH-1, AV-8B, F-14, JF-17, FC3, SA342 Gazelle, L-39, KA-50, CEII, Supercarrier Preordered.

SneakyBastd Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 OVRdrop is pretty good. It can put a desktop monitor in a window inside your game, and make it disappear when you look away from it, or turn your controller upside down, etc. A bit fiddly to set up but worked pretty well. 7700K@5Ghz, 32GB 3600 CL16, 3080.
ArkhamUK Posted May 29, 2019 Author Posted May 29, 2019 Thats perfect thanks everyone! Just what i was looking for. Ill go testing these now https://www.youtube.com/user/creativeterror Don't worry I got this... probably
ArkhamUK Posted May 29, 2019 Author Posted May 29, 2019 Ive also found there is something called oculus dash, it seems to show the desktop in game. ill give that a go to https://www.youtube.com/user/creativeterror Don't worry I got this... probably
lucky-hendrix Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Oculus dash is very nice in theory. But in practice, to run dcs I need to be in full screen mode (otherwise mouse will go out of dcs window when clicking to the sides) And as long as dcs is in full screen mode, impossible to use occulus dash ...

ArkhamUK Posted May 29, 2019 Author Posted May 29, 2019 ah thanks for the heads up. i do have Virtual Desktop which claims to have the same functionality but not tried it yet. looks like the kneeboard program may be the way to go so far https://www.youtube.com/user/creativeterror Don't worry I got this... probably
