Cotasa in VR

[GlidingNico(NBE)]

Hello.
I would like to know how I can use Cotasa in VR. My headset is an Oculus Quest 2 but if you have Oculus Rift please answer me anyway since it's still Oculus so I guess they are pretty similar.

Here are the steps:
1. Open Oculus Dash (press oculus button on right controller) after you are in Condor in your VR cockpit (you can try before starting Condor, but often Dash resets while loading Condor, so you'd have to do it again)
2. View your computer desktop in Dash
3. Click on your desired program/window (ie. Cotasa) with the trigger button.
4. While holding the trigger, press the grip button, and "pluck" the program/window towards you.
5. Change the size using your thumbstick, and move it into your desired viewing position.
6. Pin the window so that it will be visible when you return to Condor
7. Return to Condor - if the position of Cotasa needs to be adjusted you can go back to dash to move it.

Here is a video of it: https://youtu.be/aTDYlyLQK3w

hi Ryan, it,s a while but...

Did you, by any chance figure out any solution to have the setup (starting and pinning) of xcsor and cotasa being more easier/automated.

(i ordered my quest3 yesterday. But what you show in your video looks quite "time-consumig"

thanks

I have no VR experience but I have heard that one of the easiest thing is to place CoTASA and other 2D stuff like XCSoar, etc. on a second screen and to paste that screen into VR instead of pasting different apps individually

on virtual 2nd screen or on a 2nd monitor ?

Hi everybody
I got everything running in vr now. And I am totally happy.

One minor thing. One has to plug the cotasa items from the desktop.
Xcsoar for example can be added via the + button in the oculus dashboard-bar
Is there a setting to have the cotasa items run in "normal windows too. So that they could be added to the VR Cockpit by the + in the dashboard.

The benefit ist, that this way, one could place cotasa in the aproximate positions before starting/joining the flight.

With the XCSOR window this is working perfekt.

I hope you understand what I mean
