I'm new to sim flying. Was wondering what controller devices you guys find the most useful?
So far I have been using my hands in VR mode and I don't really like how I have to keep my fingers pressed all the time to grip the yoke.
Are you guys using xbox controllers, etc?
Unfortunately the overlay is not displayed in VR yet.
Ok. Is there a way to tell if the copilot is engaged or not when in VR? Or is there a way to toggle between the copilot modes without the overlay? Or are we just limited to "C" to toggle on/off?
If we've done our job correctly then the copilot should be able to takeoff, fly the entire route and do a full stop landing at the destination.
Does the copilot overlay not work in VR mode?
That's nice for you but I am looking for assistance how to use the copilot and access the overlay in VR mode. Can anyone assist?
It's not a fixed overlay. That view shows the expanded view with all of the options. Usually all you see is a condensed view at the very edge of the screen and it's only 1 icon. You click the icon and the menu expands to show them all like in that picture.
I took this from another thread but here is a picture of what the copilot overlay looks like on PC (not in VR mode)
The copilot overlay is the main thing I am looking for.
I was able to get this to work by using the "C" command. But sometimes if I hit the triggers on my hand controllers, the copilot disengages and now I'm flying the plane by myself. I have tried pressing "C" again to re-engage the copilot and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
One thing I cannot figure out is where the overlays are in VR mode. I can press "M" and look down to see the map view. I can turn on and turn off the heads up display. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to use the overlays in VR mode. Do they not work or are they not visible?
My copilot assignment is also set to "C" in settings. Additionally, I use shift+C to toggle the copilot overlay in those settings.
It all works fine using my PC in regular mode. But when I enter VR mode on my Quest 3, I can't seem to use my PC keyboard anymore. It doesn't recognize anything I press on the keyboard.
How do I use the copilot mode in VR?
I have successfully flown a couple of flights on my PC using the copilot mode. But when I go into VR mode the copilot overlay disappears and I can't figure out how to activate it.
I am trying to use VR mode to sit like a passenger from the wing views and let the plane fly itself. How can I do that?
