3rd party apps in VR (Navigraph, etc)

[nyfirefly11 55]

Is there anyway to see an app like Navigraph in VR? 

[OzWhitey 3,353]

No.
 

With other sims, I’d normally switch to (desktop view when using oculus) to look at charts etc. But i can’t get my oculus hmds to work, so i can’t tell you if that works with msfs. Not a wmr expert, but don’t think it has a similar function.

Thanks, that's what I figured. I hope Navigraph or others can figure out a way to get charts in (perhaps via the toolbar). Otherwise, IFR is going to be tough.

I will try this tomorrow to get a better map in VR

While I've not tried it with MSFS yet, I had great luck with a program called OVRToolkit in P3D for bringing in desktop windows into the VR environment, with the ability to move/resize/curve etc.  Very active developer.  Relatively cheap on Steam.  Used it for a lot of things, but mainly charts and vPilot.  Some good preview videos on youtube.

Little NavMap works in VR as one of the Menu Options via an extension, can't find the link right now though

Thanks, Marc - I have Little NavMap in the toolbar, but couldn't get it to actually show the map while in VR.

Ok good to know! I’ll try it again and see if I can get it to work...

I just got this to work in MSFS but have very bad frames in the 30's. I have the Microsoft Store version and am using Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR with Current OpenXR Runtime set to SteamVR. I did move my Chatty into VR using OVR Toolkit which is what I wanted to do to help me stream Twitch in VR.

I have much more testing to do but it proved that this will work.

I've yet to test it myself, but I do remember initially being very confused by what seemed like extreme performance impacts on P3D.  I can't recall now what I did to fix that, but if I remember I'll drop back in.  But it was fixable in P3D, don't see what it wouldn't be in MSFS.

If you just see a spinner instead of the map, make sure you have the Tools | Run Webserver option checked in Little NavMap.

In iRacing something like this is possible, so maybe also in FS 2020
