Hopefully no more "why my youtube video 2 fps" comments! As a result, this setting is not included in the new quick access settings menu on windows. I've made Eco Mode less dumb, it now disables whilst you're looking at an overlay. You know what is ALSO a commonly used window setting? Turning off Eco Mode! (p.s - yes I know the list has to load each time you open a window, W.I.P)

How have I made it less dumb? Windows now spawn with the set contents panel already visible on them, again dodging the phone UI.
You know what is a commonly used 'window setting'? Changing the content of a window, it's literally the first thing you do when spawning a new window, this is dumb. Clicking the advanced settings button will open up the phone UI like before to show all Window Settings and allow you to edit windows from afar just like before. Clicking the gear icon below a window when in Edit Mode will now show commonly used window settings. "Settings on windows are dumb" over here has finally seen the light. What's that? Editing basic window settings without the phone UI you say? No more giant phone blocking your view! Though at this time, the giant phone blocking your view is still used for many things, it just shouldn't need to be used often for core functions of the application like spawning windows or editing basic window settings. Edit Mode's common functions like spawn window and recenter windows have been moved to the 'Sidebar', this is a new UI that appears beside the wristwatch when you click the gear icon. With this update, the Edit Mode UI (The phone thing) has started the first phase of being deprecated. There's a lot that could be done to make things easier to use without having to make things dumber! OVR Toolkit's primary audience is still power users and always will be, I'm never going to 'dumb things down', but.
#Ovr toolkit update#
The goal of this update is to make OVR Toolkit easier to use, both for existing users and new users, without sacrificing any functionality. Happy to answer your questions!ĮDIT: I reposition and resize the windows with the controllers only at the beginning of the flight, then I switch both controllers off as they’re not needed anymore.Today's update is pretty big, and hopefully works pretty good! I've had good feedback from the people in the Open Beta, so I'm finally ready to release it! Currently, I’m just showing one whole desktop via OVR Toolkit because MSFS also likes to minimize other apps when in focus (it’s really annoying but I haven’t found a way around it, yet).Īlso, don’t miss out the Toolkit option to hide windows when not looking at them, it’s really fancy. To be able to escape, I assigned ALT+TAB to a mouse button so that I can interact with the other applications. In MSFS, however, this doesn’t seem to work easily because the mouse pointer is obviously caught in the sim desktop.

Some more comments from my side: In P3D, I usually had a couple of windows around me in my VR cockpit: The vPilot client, Navigraph, a PDF viewer for the checklist and the flight plan, and I was able to manipulate them by moving the mouse from my P3D desktop to another desktop where the respective app was shown. Please take a look at the video on this site to see how it works. Then I hit CTRL+TAB, put on the HMD and grab the controllers–the Toolkit menu should be tied to your left hand. After it finished loading, I turn on the controllers and then launch OVR Toolkit via the Steam app. Next thing is to launch MSFS and create a flight. NB: Starting SteamVR also launches the WMR app. Then I put on the HMD for a couple of seconds and let it calibrate. I usually launch the SteamVR app via Steam’s “LAUNCH” button as shown in Step 3. Last but not least, purchase (it’s roughly 10 bucks) the OVR Toolkit app from Steam:Īnd this is what I do before starting a flight in MSFS:.
