The VR PORTAL is a simple tool that uses the VR Passthrough functionality, implemented in Virtual Desktop, allowing you to create an external viewing window at any point in the virtual cockpit.
Have you invested in flight controllers and built your own setup, but also enjoy simulating in Virtual Reality (VR)? Now, thanks to the VR Portal, you can view your controllers at any time during the VR flight.
To open a portal, simply click on one of the four icons in the Microsoft Flight Simulator toolbar. Note that some portals may be hidden within the "Custom Toolbar". Just activate them to make them appear in the top bar.
Each open window has four icons: a circle, a square with rounded corners, and a regular square. By clicking on these icons, the portal takes the selected shape. Then, just drag the portal to the desired location and click on the preferred shape.
To bring back the top bar of the window, just click in the center of the portal.
The VR PORTAL uses the VR Passthrough functionality of Virtual Desktop. To ensure that your headset works correctly with this technology, you need to enable this feature in Virtual Desktop.
While in the Virtual Reality (VR) environment, access the Virtual Desktop settings and navigate to the "Streaming" section.
Within the "Streaming" section, locate the passthrough functionality (VR Passthrough) and enable it by selecting the "Environment" option.
Then, click on "Configure..." and follow the instructions below:
In the "VR Passthrough Configuration" window, adjust the RGB sliders to find the color pink, setting Red to 255, Green to 0, and Blue to 255. Adjust the "Similarity" between 5% and 20%, and "Smoothness" between 1% and 10%, according to your preference. Make sure that the "Passthrough Opacity" option is set to 100%.
After completing the configuration, click on "Close" and return to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Note that the PINK color of the VR PORTAL will be replaced by the image captured by your VR headset's cameras.
The "Similarity" and "Smoothness" options adjust the intensity with which the pink color is replaced by the images captured by the VR headset's cameras. Lower values of these options result in a less pronounced replacement, allowing adjustments according to the user's preference.
It's important to note that lower settings help prevent visual interference, such as displaying the pink color over logos and objects in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The VR PORTAL is made available free of charge to all EXABIT Scenery customers who have their scenarios registered.
