MSFS VR and Pilot2ATC

[SimFx 61]

Hi, since the release of VR for MSFS I have switched over to almost exclusively fly with the Reverb G2.

Since the native FS ATC is rather faulty and lacking I am looking for an alternative and Pilot2ATC seems the ticket to go.

An important question for me is whether the program interface can be displayed/used within VR. Can I see the maps, use the Say-it feature etc., or would I just be able to use it on the monitor for flight planning and once in VR would then have to depend on audio and voice-recognition alone?

You would need to find a program that enables bringing 2D Windows into VR for your environment.  In the STEAM VR environment, for example, there are several programs that work.  I use OVRDrop.

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to set up VR in MSFS, so I can't speak directly to your question.

Ok, thanks very much Dave. I'm actually running FS on WMR, but I will check things out. If nothing available at this time (which I believe is the case), then I hope MS or a third-party will come up in the future with such a utility for which there will certainly be lots of other good uses as well.

Yeah, there hasn’t been a great native WMR solution for this yet, so folks have been switching over to using the SteamVR drivers and using OVRDrop or similar.  Great directions for trying this out are at https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/tutorial-show-other-applications-and-whole-desktops-in-vr/344013 ...

OVR Toolkit does the job for me but there is a bit of a learning curve. I find the native WMR desktop too unstable.
