Notso Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 I recall a few threads a while ago where some users were using the MFDs with good success in VR. It sounds like it just takes some muscle memory to find the right buttons. I'm about to order this pack, but before I do - are there any pros and cons with VR use? How hard are they to set up and program? Any tips or tricks to VR use? I really like the idea of being able to reach out and push real buttons instead of using the trackball.

Habu_69 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I place a small piece of loop-side velcro on OSB 3, 8, 13, 18 to provide a tactile feedback for locating MFD buttons while flying in VR. Works pretty well.
D0rmicum Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Installation was plug & play on my machine. In the beginning in VR I was starting from the top edge counting downwards with the finger but after a couple of times it was pretty intuitive and after two months I don‘t have big issues hitting the right OSB. Overall it‘s much faster than using my mouse Modules and maps: all of them :doh: Specs: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I, Intel i7-8086K@4.9GHz, 32GB Corsair Vengance RAM, Nvidia RTX 2080 FE, 2x1 TB Samsung EVO 970 M.2, WIN10 64bit, HP Reverb

zero2005 Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 I was wondering this as well. I have everything mounted to my chair and was looking at the MFD panels and was wondering how I could set up. I have an HP Reverb, looking under isn't an easy option I've found. I was thinking of mounting at least 1 panel one forward of my throttle similar to the control panel on an X65F, then I can just move my hand forward until I find the panel then use the rubber pads like mentioned for tactile feedback. My question is, is there an easy way to switch or "shift-key" the panel? Ideally i'd probably set up a 3 way switch that dictates which MFD I'm working with? ie 3 way switch for F-18, position switch left = left DDI active, switch right = right DDI active, switch center = MPCD active. also, anyone using the panels for the JF-17? Curious how people are setting those up, if they're using shift keys or what?
