Imagine being in a long mission with a lot of flying and not a lot of action, you want to stay immersed in the game and not just take off the headset for a few minutes and look at your phone, instead you could just open up Youtube or a web browser on an MFD and just chill, it would also be amazing for relaxing because I find being in the cockpit of a fighter jet to be really cool, so it would be awesome to just hang out and watch Youtube. I don't know if it would be possible but if it is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do it it would be awesome.

like putting your youtube account in vtol vr just sucks

#

makes your ram want to self-destruct

Sorry but not even I can advocate for this considering the fact that you can do something vital for the mission while flying to your destination in the time you probably would have pulled the video up in the first place. You could spend time coordinating with your team on how to approach a target objective or scan the area for threats you didn’t notice before.

#

There’s literally no point or reason why this is needed.

#

Not to mention that realistically only 2 of the 6 vehicles could even use this in the first place, adding onto the list of reasons why this isn’t needed

#

Even more so, you’d be hard pressed to find an actual internet connection in the air without giving yourself away, let alone at all.

Something else is that new players could easily watch tutorials in game without having to figure out the steam overlay or take off their headset every few seconds to watch the video

#

xsoverlay exists and unity's built in video player is kind of stupid, not to mention baha would probably need to write a lot of stuff to make resolutions and audio proper, plus needing new context menus and submenus for it

it's really just not a good enough addition to be worth putting time into when you already have an overlay that takes a few minutes to figure out. also I'm 60% sure OpenKneeboardVR supports videos already anyway

I’d use it if it happened

#

I’d watch a tutorial for what ever I’m doing while in the plane

lunar crater
#

And steamvr base interface does

# knotty sedge I’d watch a tutorial for what ever I’m doing while in the plane

and then the issue is that you may end up becoming reliant on the tutorials rather than attempting to memorise and learning from your failure - you'd have to pull up a tutorial on how to operate GPS bombs, and then a laser bomb since you didnt have another GPS bomb, or how to properly use AGM-65s, or how you should do a BFM properly

#

point is, this is useless and is legitimately just peak ADHD

#

ngl people that actually want this and don't realize it's a joke suggestion are probably the same people that find being an EWO to be too stressful in the EF24G

#

But id really use as a reference point

#

Or like to play music and stuff

#

newgen peak

#

like on a serious note

#

what is this ACTUALLY going to do

#

cant you just use oculus overlay or something

#

or maybe just get immersed in the actual game

#

there is so many cool mechanics and things to do

#

but I don't think watching youtube while flying a virtual fighter jet could EVER understand any circumstances be one of them

#

rant over

#

p.s. if you find the game that boring don't play it

frosty bridge
#

It's not that it's boring per se, it's that endless scrolling shortform is awful for people's health lol

#

give it youtube, but disable shorts >:)

#

you can even position the steam overlay into your hand so you can pretend to be watching youtube on your phone while flying a fighter jet

Imagine someone asks to show you a trick so you hop in a T-55 and you hear "How to fly a plane in VTOL VR"
