[PFD/MFD 2D Popouts in VR -- can they be disabled?]

Good point, we'll add the option as well.

I noticed this is still a problem in 1.10.   Having these 2D windows popup in VR is very distracting. Any update?

[PFD/MFD 2D Popouts in VR -- can they be disabled?]

It's pretty easy to reproduce.  Get in the plane in VR and click on the PFD, MFD or PFD2 screens.

Its very easy to inadvertenly click on these spots with vr controller.

The 2D panels popout and get in your face.

The autopilot and controls for MFD also popout.   While useful in a display monitor,  for VR these 2D screens do more harm than good.

In Xplanes Cirrus 50, for example, these displays do not popup in the VR.  (they open on the regular display).

Here's another post about it.

 

Another airplane developer (epic e100) added an option to disable g1000 popups

Snippet from changelog...
"Added option to disable G1000 popups (stock or custom) - request from VR users."

[PFD/MFD 2D Popouts in VR -- can they be disabled?]

I love this plane. but there is one big problem for me in VR.

It is very easy to inadvertently click  on the PFD or MFD panel.   When you do that, the large 2D panel  pops up right in your face.    it takes some effort to close it.

Is there a way to disable the popouts?      or direct them to the physical monitor screen like  my other airplanes?
