It would be great
Thanks in advance

Oh yes, we wish to have a virtual kneeboard to display our documents (checklists, VAC plates, ground plates, etc.)
VR or not, that would be a big improvement

If you have slim cpp code to read PDF files that we could use in out commercial software please send it to us. We haven't found yet what we are looking for, which is holding back this idea.
Anything helpful here? Xpdf?

Surely there are some techies on this forum who can help? We need this functionality in AFS2
nickhod - any experience of this stuff?
OVRdrop on Steam
Yes like FlyInside did, I presume
I think Jan wants to read a PDF file to a rasterized "texture" result?? Then just present that on a special movable 3D polygon in the scene. Just a guess.

Imagemagick perhaps - that's a great tool I use a lot
Reading a PDF in VR cockpit would be amazing. Imagine uploading the VFR map and being able to click on it to enlarge it in flight!
Yes or using Skydemon/ForeFlight on a true iPhone/iPad with display redirecting on PC ( via X-Mirage, LonelyScreen, Miroring360, Relector) and OVRDrop
I was pretty disappointed with OVRdrop (as a Rift user).
Jet-Pack (IPACS) - Why not allow people to upload a BMP or JPEG as well as a PDF, and then for your first beta release of this functionality just give us the BMP/JPG until you're ready with the PDF?
While we wait we'll all use https://pdftoimage.com/
disappointed with OVRDrop ?
Is AeroflyFS2 slower with steamVR than with the native OVR mode ?

In my experience yes and I've never heard anyone with a different point of view. Also I found the Ovrdrop interface clumsy - for example I was opening windows in the C172 when I tried to zoom into Skyvector.
Thank you for the overwhelming feedback! Please keep the links coming, we will note them down and check out each one, once we have time to do so.
OK Jan. This looks like its what you need. Used by Flikr so it must be good.
Hi,
Any news on that subject ?
Just give us a plain txt option for starters and we could handle checklists at least. Pleeeeease.
