GTN750 on VR3 - Mouse Interaction in Native VR

[GCBraun]

Hello, I was very happy when LR released the new VR3 build with the possibility to enable the mouse pointer on VR as I thought this would finally allow me to use the GTN750 in Native VR. Even though there is a mouse pointer now and it works with the flight instruments, it does not operate correctly with the GTN. I can click the hard buttons, but the touch screen does not react to my clicks. :(

Oh that's exactly what I was hoping not to hear. I anticipate hopefully testing out VR3 this weekend and was hoping to get some time in with the PC-12 and my 750. :-/ Hopefully this is something that will be solved at some point.

yeah, I was hoping to get that touchscreen to work with the new laser pointer or 3d mouse. unfortunately not.

in the meantime, we can use the 750 popup and drag the window to the bottom right corner to the xpad. the touchscreen works there.

Unfortunately, until X-Plane SDK offers the capability for third party developers to create in-sim, live, 3D planar surfaces to not only draw to, but also to capture mouse clicks, we'll have to deal with the limitations of displaying/rendering our plugins to pre-existing surfaces in the aircraft 3D panel, and to use a full screen invisible window to grab the mouse... :-(

Wait how do we drag the pop up to the tablet? I would be satisfied for the time being if I could manage to use it from the tablet!!

Once in VR, take off your headset and popup the 750 window and drag it to the bottom right corner in your monitor. now go and check in vr and adjust it.
