March 22, 20233 yr Hi, just got my HP reverb 2 vr headset and Im amazed by the immersion in msfs. However one thing that Im a bit bothered by is how to access the documents, like ths flightplan and charts and such For example when to program the fmc in pmdg737... Wouldnt want to break the immersion to do these things by removing the headset... How do you handle these things? Niklas Eriksson
March 22, 20233 yr with the charts if you got nav charts there is a option in the tool bar where you click and gui will open with your flight plan, with the fmc thats a easy one just look down at the fmc and use the zoom key, or if you got your keys bind to the fmc just press it I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
March 22, 20233 yr Author Hi.thank you, sorry if I was unclear with my question. The question is when programming the flightplan into the FMC. I need to look at the actual pdf to see what to program into the FMC. once its programmed its all good. Niklas Eriksson

Thanks for the suggestion, will check if the hp reverb has the see through option. Niklas Eriksson

March 22, 20233 yr If you have a Navigraph subscription, they have a toolbar app that can be added, then you can view the flight on a moving map, or individual charts procedures, in or out of VR.

I don't think it gives you stuff like ZFW or Block Fuel that would be needed for programming an FMS though.

I use a combination of Navigraph Charts and Open Kneeboard which was mentioned above. Open Kneeboard works in any OpenXR application so I also use it in DCS World. You can buy pretty affordable drawing tablets that are compatible with Open Kneeboard and then not only can you view pdf files inside VR you can also write on them with the tablet inside VR. With these two things I never take my headset off for any reason. You can get by with just the Navigraph charts if all you are wanting to do is view charts. With Open Kneeboard though I just save my simbrief flight plan as a pdf and add it to the kneeboard before my flight and its all available in there plus I can write on it to put down ATIS, Clearance, etc. Yes it's more money to spend but it's the best way of doing it that I am aware of.

March 23, 20233 yr Second vote here for Sky4Sim. An excellent add-on for VR flying. You can put your .pdfs into a specific folder on your PC and then view them in the Sky4Sim window right in MSFS. I pop the Sky4Sim window open in VR and position it just like I would an EFB iPad and it blends right in with the cockpit nicely. Also second the recommendation for the Navigraph charts in-sim app if you have a Navigraph subscription. If not, and you have .pdf charts, well, just open them in Sky4Sim as well. As an added bonus: if you use NeoFly4 and/or Pilot2ATC, Sky4Sim will help you integrate those into your VR cockpit as well. https://sky4sim.com/ DISCLOSURE: I have NFI in Sky4Sim. I'm just a _very_ satisfied customer. Edited March 23, 20233 yr by Malaromane
April 5, 20233 yr Author Hi, thank you all for the responses! I do have a navigraph subscription. need to see if I can find that toolbar application, that sounds great! Niklas Eriksson
