Hello fellow simmers
Finally pulled the trigger on Aerofly FS2 and this is an absolutely amazing sim, especially on VR!
I wanted to ask if VATSIM integration is planned for a future update? This will complete this sim in a priceless way.
VATSIM + VR will be INCREDIBLE!

I agree that VATSIM or Pilotedge will be awesome in VR. However I'm wondering how we will cope with remembering all the ATC info. I usually write it down but in VR we need a solution.

Good point but a possible easy solution is:
Take off VR headset, write complex ATC instructions down (e.g IFR clearance), put VR headset back on. We should not always expect everything to be perfect. Lets remember it's a just sim and not real life.

Well taking off the headset would distroy immersion and if you have ever flown in a busy area then the pressure from ATC and from flying the aircraft is very high. I would therefore like to use the sim as a training tool as well as for enjoyment.
I was thinking more about writing on an iPad for example, having it strapped to my knee or on a flat surface handy for use. If there was then an app. which could link this to AeroflyFS2 then maybe we could see it on a virtual knee pad.

+1, I think being able to import an external Notepad window will be a good solution, and eventually maybe a moving map import as well.

Yes, a map as well would be excellent.

My rather elaborate idea was that you could have a real iPad fixed in place near yoke etc and the iPad would dual display its screen to the PC which would be displayed on a virtual iPad n the cockpit. Then you could use the iPad in VR and have physical contact with a real iPad. I guess that needs leap motion to see your hands, so a static notepad displayed in cockpit is probably the way to start.

Great ideas guys. Please keep them coming!!

Thinking about leap motion, if the virtual finger of the hand could write when hovering over a virtual kneeboard then that may be the solution, for writing that is.

Isnt there any way to use a voice to txt capture program and convert on the fly the instructions regarding our own flight so that the info we need is displayed on screen 2d/or vr.

The leap motion has a pass through mode. It is an infrared camera. Not good for reading. I removed the LM and simply lift up the goggles when I need to read/write in the real world.
