TheFlyGuy Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I've purchased the Saab 340 today, and after some first flights without VR I gave it a try with my Oculus Rift. Unfortunately I found this plane mostly unflyable in VR. I don't ask for full VR support, as I can imagine how complicate it would be to recreate all the Gizmo menus for VR use, but the plane should at least work in VR from taxi to landing. On my first flight I found a couple of things that doesn't work in VR. This may be not a complete list, but just a view things I was missing during my tests: Transponder mode and code can't be set in VR All Collins Receivers doesn't work in VR (no manipulators available for mode and frequency dials) Alitude set has no manipulator in VR G500 encoders don't work in VR Course and HDG dials on the center console can't be manipulated in VR VS setting doesn't work in VR. While there at least is a manipulator, I can change VS only one step up and down in VR Autopilot can't be engaged in VR (there is no "long hold" of the AP main switches possible) Again, there may be more issues, but just with these limitations the plane can't be flown in VR. Would be great if you could check these things, and maybe could make this plane flyable in VR. Edited February 23, 2019 by TheFlyGuy Quote
falcon1823 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 @TheFlyGuy Get yourself over to the SimVRlabs club, join the club (so you can download the files without getting an error), and then get the LES saab SimVRlabs mod. Will fix all that right up. https://forum.thresholdx.net/topic/484-les-saab-340a/ Quote

Daudr Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Any chance that someone still has the .zip file they can share? The thresholdx.net forums no longer has the file. Quote
