VR with Revive and XCSoar

Post by n98Bk9-NT3 » Sun Jan 23, 2022 2:09 pm

Does anybody use XCSoar within VR devices with Revive? I mean with HTC VIVE, Valve Index, or HP Reverb G2 etc.

I want to organize AAT tasks, but for my friends using Valve Index I want to know how to use XCSoar within their Headset.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I use XCSoar with a Valve Index VR headset by doing a reprojection thanks to OVRdrop. VoiceATtack allows me to interact with XCSoar without having to change focus between Condor SOaring sim and XCSoar application. Note that it also allows me to interact with Condor for Geor up/down, water ballast, ... so that the minimum keyboard interact while fitted with a VR headset is needed. Typical commands I programmed: zoom in and out, Task previous or next turn point, Arm start or Arm turn for AAT task.

Depending of the headset there are other or dedicated applications for VR reprojections of XCsoar but also Cotasa. I believe this has been documented on the forum.

I hope this helps .

Thanks, dpluigi,

I checked Steam and found OVRdrop and similar XSOverlay.
I will study overlay apps and try one.

Hi, I use XCSoar with OVRdrop in VR, with a Valve Index HMD.
I use too the Voice Atttack software, and I would like to use it to command the XCSoar, so
¿Would you share your VoiceAtack profile to try in my own pc ?
Thanks a lot

I use this one with Hp Reverb G2:

It is freeware, and works pretty well.

I use xcsoar and cotasa at same time, and joystick buttons are used for main xcsoar functions.

How did you manage to get Reverb G2 to work with Condor?
I gave up 10/2022 about the time meta took over from Oculus.
Using Buss method, I was unable to download the Oculus software. No escape key! :(

Thanks for your help :D
