May 26, 20197 yr Has anyone been able to drag a desktop window into P3D VR with the Oculus software? I get as far as enabling it in experimental mode, pressing A on the hand controller and the middle finger then dragging the window into oculus home environment and and moving it and resizing it with the hand controller. When I go full screen VR in P3D the window doesn't show. If you did get it working, did you see a performance hit? Cheers

May 26, 20197 yr Don't forget to pin the window so that it will show up. You'll find the small pin icon in the lower right corner of the window that you wish to pin We are all connected.....

May 26, 20197 yr There can be one, depending on your computer hardware specs. Make sure you are pinning a single window and not your entire desktop! We are all connected.....

May 26, 20197 yr Just a heads up for those that may not have heard of this: Those with lower powered systems with less resources to spare might find this especially helpful. Note that the installation procedure listed below is not necessary if you have installed the Oculus tray tool, which does this all with a single click: The tray tool can be found here: http://bit.ly/2XVXMnA We are all connected.....

May 26, 20197 yr I usually pin the entire desktop so I can alt-tab between different applications - charts, weather, flight plan. I'm not noticing any performance hit with a 6700k and GTX1070.
May 26, 20197 yr Author I did a test on a 2080ti Rift CV1. Adding one window to P3D draws about 5-10% more GPU load. Adding more windows didn't increase load further.

I'm not noticing any performance hit with a 6700k and GTX1070. Awesome thanks. It seems that adding the entire desktop doesn't take up any more GPU than adding just one window. The control you get in VR is amazing. You can do everything including changing aircraft from within VR never have to leave it any more. It is such a pity that the P3D desktop window needs to take up half the screen merely to show all the menu options.
