Virtual Windows?

Postby stielinc@gmail.com » Wed Oct 25, 2017 11:24 pm

I can't seem to get virtual windows to work, such as pulling up ATC window while wearing the VIVE HMD.

When I start FlyInside and pull of the ATC window I can see it appear on my monitor, but not my HMD...what am i doing wrong?

I'm running x-plane 11 on Windows 10

Thanks,
A

Have a real good look around the cockpit, the window is probably somewhere silly and just needs dragging back and resizing.

I was hoping thats all it was, but no luck, I looked everywhere, and nothing. I can see the flyinside menu window no problem, but nothing else.

Strangely enough I did find a Austin Meyer bobble head doll on the dashboard of my Cessna, kind of funny, but frustrating I can't pull up any of my virtual windows lol.

Can you go and manually import them successfully?

so I can import things like a browser or my full desktop, and they do show up in my HMD, however once I do this I loose all abiility to interact with them, or to even recall the flyinside menu.

As far as windows in the sim, like map or ATC, what I noticed is if I click on the upper right hand corner of the ATC window on my desktop, it turns to window into a 'x-system' window, and THEN it shows up inside the HMD. However, even once it shows up in HMD, no ability to interact with them

Hi. Did you, or as far as you are aware, anyone get a solution for this problem. No joy in flying X plane 11 without virtual ATC in the HMD! I have had to revert back to FSX until I find a fix. Its a wonder that the Flyinside programmer has not picked up on this.

If you are on Rift you can use the native import now. Very simple and easy.

How do you use the Native import with rift. I am starting to experience problems (never seen before) where windows in FI disappear (even though they are still open on the desktop) and there is no way of opening them again in FI. The default P3D ATC window is an example, it opens ok inside FI, then when you close it and reopen it, it is no longer visible within FI?
