Jon Sousan 1333142 Posted April 3, 2018 at 10:58 PM Posted April 3, 2018 at 10:58 PM I've never posted here for help but, could use a hand in locating the proper channels of instruction. I have successfully been using vPilot as ATC connection with (non Steam)FSX and then went to the virtual world using the Oculus Rift goggles which requires FSX Steam Edition. Though the FSXSE experience is amazing for flight, I'm not as impressed with the interactive ATC yet. I'd like to get back to the communication with live ATC if it is possible. That certainly, would make the experience as true to life as possible. Can anyone offer help with this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Sousan 1333142 Posted April 4, 2018 at 04:08 AM Author Posted April 4, 2018 at 04:08 AM OK more concise. I was forced to upgrade to "FSX Steam" in order to use the Oculus Rift. Prior to this upgrade I was using FSX with three monitors in which I enjoyed the ATC with Vatsim using vPilot as the liaison. At that time all I had to do was double click vPilot icon after launching the FSX program, and it would come available for connect. I don't see the option of being able to do this in the same way when I use the Oculus Rift VR system, unless I am missing something here. Is there a special installation or app that is available to place the vPilot information box within the cockpit when I am in the virtual world?

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted April 4, 2018 at 05:57 AM Board of Governors Posted April 4, 2018 at 05:57 AM OK, sounds like one may have to have Oculus Rift experience to help you with this question. Good luck. Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted April 4, 2018 at 02:23 PM Posted April 4, 2018 at 02:23 PM Are you using FlyInside? https://flyinside-fsx.com/ I believe it allows you to bring external programs (such as vPilot) into the cockpit while using a Rift. I haven't used it, so I'm not 100% sure it'll do the job.

Jon Sousan 1333142 Posted April 4, 2018 at 03:57 PM Author Posted April 4, 2018 at 03:57 PM Yes, I use Fly Inside. Is vPilot considered an addon? If so, is there an installation process? I thought that I had it licked but I don't see it in the add on menu when I view the drop down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted April 4, 2018 at 04:04 PM Posted April 4, 2018 at 04:04 PM I don't know what you mean by add-on here ... my understanding is that FlyInside can pull any desktop window into the sim.

Jon Sousan 1333142 Posted April 8, 2018 at 11:38 PM Author Posted April 8, 2018 at 11:38 PM For those of you who are tracking this post, I did have some success in the "importing" of the vPilot box inside the cockpit. I overlooked the "import window" box that appears when you prompt the VR menu. Though this is a great discovery, it is still a bit on the development side I am sure. The imported windows still move around with the slightest adjustment of the goggles. Option to suspend or disabled such features are going to be needed in the future. That's my take.
