Dave Rank Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I recently joined VATSIM and am getting oriented. I fly exclusively in VR with X-Plane and a Rift S. I have homemade primary flight controls (stick, rudder, collective and twist throttle). I'm looking for recommendations of the best setup to allow PTT over a computer headset (or through the Rift S, if possible) and the best way to get some "charts" and other navigational tools displayed in the cockpit with me. So far, I think I need xPilot. I'm seeing other things about VATspy, ChartFox and other tools. Has anyone passed this way before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave, I´m as well at the beginning using VATSIM under VR, especially I´m looking for a solution to define a PTT to my left hand trigger of the controller. Audio is coming via the VR headset and microphone will be used even from the headset. If you have a navigraph account, the charts can be loaded from there. Me, in example, flying with X-Plane even completely under VR and there I have the avitab which is connected to my navigraph account and I can see all needed information on this tab.

There is a tool on X_Plane.org https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/42081-pi_command2keypy/&tab=comments#comment-337571 After my setup was done and even watching the tutorial to setup my controller and map the PTT button, all is working fine for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHER9hoBnuE Just try this out as this is improving your VR experience drastically if you want to fly online under VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
