Condor is exasperating

Shortcut key memorizing can be nicely avoided by purchase of a 19 button keypad, and 10 minutes with a label maker, plugged into your usb port.
They are $10 on amazon, and that's the best 10 bucks you'll ever spend.

Hope this helps at least one person.

Yeah, but then I'd have to buy a USB hub (I'm maxed out with the joystick and wireless mouse transmitter now, and I'm already running my Dell Streak with Top Hat off a battery pack). Another $10 on Amazon. And I had to buy a glider for Condor because nothing in the standard pack was close to what I wanted, and that was another $12, IIRC.

This cheap flying alternative is starting to get expensive.

Well, hopefully my suggestion will help someone besides Chip then.

Are there other VR goggles that are supported other than Oculus Rift and HTC Vive? There are quite a few others out there now, with better resolution.

The Virtual Reality thread on the official software forum for Condor: https://www.condorsoaring.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=43 Why not ask there? Monitor it for progress?

I use HP Reverb VR goggles the clarity is amazing. (You do have to use Steam VR, Oculus Rift drivers with Revive to get it to work) I am trying to get XCSoar to be a floating window in the cockpit for a computer.

Check out how Bruce D. got it to work. He has a couple of other apps he uses, too, but the process to pin XCSoar to the screen works fine without them.

I've been able to get it to work on a solo flight with it placed to look like a kneeboard, but I never have enough time to get it going when the window opens to join multiplayer races.
