What if when you remove your head set, it swapped to normal screen mode and visa versa?

Can I ask what the advatage of this is? 

Does it take long?  Would it exit out of the game and have to restart?  I frequently remove my headset to do things like adjust A/C or look at my phone, I would hate to have the game restart when this is done.

It would jump to regular full screen mode with out head seat. Place head set on eyes, jump right to VR mode.

Iracing has a distant cousin to this.  In iracing, vr doesn't come in until you go to the race track.  Leave the track and it goes back to screen view.

Now the downside to this setup is if you use the VR as the only source for sound then take off the VR headset, you lose sound.  You can balance it on you forehead but not for a long time.

The upside is having a more stable screen view for like a short break.  I have had VR crash in just a couple of minutes once removed.

That would make typing easier, also setting up the VR controls, and eating and drinking in 12 hour scenarios.  :aok

Randy you can set the Rift to mirror the sound to your PC so you don't lose sound.

There aren't enough +1's in the world to put them down for me. This would be a "game changer"; put the headset on to fly, take it off to GV or level bomb, of fire from a ship gun, if you have issues targeting in VR. I think it would work.

Despite that I don't have VR that sounds like a very good idea.

+1111111111111111111111111 OMG, that would be GREAT! Would fix all of my little problems with VR. Such as Tank turrets,17 pounders and even Bomb sights. Uh 1 problem though and its a BIG ONE...You will need to update your "For Bribes" link, to one that will actually let me purchase and ship to your address.Already owe you for the "hit sprite" fixes :aok

Many of us have our PCs in a room other family members might use.  To that, some of the language on the vox is less than stellar.  i do not mind it because most of the time it is a good person blowing off a bit of steam.  Sometimes it will crack you up.

You can put headphones on when you take the headset off.

Also it would be a feature that could simply be disabled in the vr settings.

Also debating which config files I wish to use for which. Some like window positions obviously should use the non VR files.

Others like controls I think should remain in VR.

There are times I need to remove my rift for one reason or another - flying it with that tiny screen is at times a pain.
