Screen capture using VR

[markturner1960]

How is it possible to take a picture of the image seen through the headset for comparison in testing and set up please?

Which headset?

 

If using SteamVR, press the left controller system button and trigger at the same time. You get two screenshots - a single image and a side-by-side image, saved to the relevant Steam folder.

Print Screen key? Just like a normal screenshot from DCS. The aspect ratio is what is your headset's screen ratio for a one eye.

Thanks, G2, so yes, using steam VR. How do you capture the FPSVR overlay ? This does not appear on the 2D monitor display while using it, only in the VR headset.....

 

Whats the relevant folder?

It does appear on the 2D monitor, but it is minimised by default.  Just double click on its icon in the task bar hidden icons area and you'll see it.

In sims I don't use Reverb controller at all. Any keyboard bind for a 2D screenshot?

The screen shot is taken from the 2d mirror…

The question was rather can I make one without the controller?

The same way you do in 2d, they keystrokes are the same or map a button to it on your Hotas

Pressing PrintScreen makes a snippet as the headset lenses see it, with rounded edge.

It takes it from the 2d mirror, it also has rounded edges
