Ok I am sold.  I have completely eliminated GVing and level bombing from gameplay due to VR.  I would love to be able to take my headset off for the bomb run, then back on to fly home  :rock

That would really change things for VR users.

Great idea.

In addition to this I wonder if it would then be possible to run AH through the library on a desktop without the headset being connected.
At this time it is not. When I try to start from Oculus library without the headset connected, error message appears and the app doesn't start.
I have AH on a laptop and do not carry my rift around all day. This would help me pass some dull office hours  :devil

Sorry for the hijack....

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.

Having a disable in VR would counter the sound problem for most of us. 

If you use sound systems that look for "default" windows sound devices it give them problems even with a check.

If I do not use VR, I switch to Trackir.

You currently have one of the best VR implementations out there. What ever you do please leave a switch to allow the user to keep the current system if they want to.

Question --  Would the flight stick controls revert as well?  In other words, you takeoff the headset, and now the hat switch is mapped to view keys or whatever (non-VR) setup the user chooses

?

Please consider adding VR sli currently supported by Nvidia. With more power pixel density/resolution could be improved with the oculus tray tool. Or better yet offer an in game setting adjustment for the resolution/pixel density. Assumining it's not already at the max.

Sounds good, getting Sim Commander to add AH3 for tactical feedback would also be cool  :cool:

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

HiTech

This sounds good to someone who is interested in easing into VR.    :aok

Anything that adds versatility, innovation & choice to this game I'm in favor of it, regardless of whether I'm using it or not.

You never know what tomorrow may bring.

I been away awhile, but getting the itch again, hence I trolled site again.

HiTech I use the rift, I would turn off all other displays once in game. I did this because the refresh rate on my display was only 60Hz, the rift is 90Hz and I perceived an extra flickering with the conflict. I made sure the vid card was only dealing with 1 device, it helped.
for what its worth.
