Please - a bullet point steps list for Quest 3, wireless using Virtual Desktop using VDXR

[majorswitcher]

It worked once this whole day of trying options but I can't get it to work anymore. SteamVR as runtime, or VirtualDesktop? 

What should I set, in what order? I hope someone can post a simple steps list that just works

Using Quest Link cable works good - is it worth the hassle to be wireless ?

Are you asking how to configure a network for Virtual Desktop or just how to fire up DCS using the program? If the former, I leave the answer to someone else. If the latter, see below.

 

Step 1: Open the Virtual Desktop Streamer App

Step 2: Select the codec and various other options you'd like to use on the Streamer App

Step 3: Power on the Quest 3

Step 4: Select the Virtual Desktop icon on the Quest toolbar

Step 5: Right click on the Virtual Desktop icon in the Windows tray (it looks like a green monitor icon) and select "Run Program"

Step 6: Select the DCS shortcut

Notes:

- Steam VR doesn't need to be open or active, as a matter of fact it shouldn't be open or active.

- Quest should not be attached to the computer via the link cable.

- There are a number of settings to play with in Virtual Desktop. Youtube is full of tutorials.

Thank you!! I guess step 5 and 6 are the magic trick? Should I select the DCS.exe from the /bin-mt folder?

I’m running MSFS through VirtualDesktop with succes. Using VDXR by the way - important that this is the same for DCS? Especially NOT SteamVR I assume

Yes, make sure that VDXR is selected. No need to right click any monitor icons, just double-click your normal DCS shortcut.

I always kept my QPro connected simply to keep it charged during longer sessions. I did not see any detrimental effects and I also don‘t see how it would have since you can not be connected via QuestLink and VD at the same time.

I have a DCS shortcut on my desktop. After steps 1-4 above, I give that shortcut a doubleclick with my controller, then when DCS starts, click start in the new DCS startup page.
