VR one button binding to toggle out of the headset (please)

[Edmundus]

Posted this unsuccessfully on the main forum with no response so thought I'd try again here:

To the best of my knowledge there is no available "one button binding" option that allows VR players to toggle between VR and the monitor.

I love VR and only play in that mode when in orbit but in the SRV, or on foot, I can only play on the monitor. The grey letterbox in EDO makes me feel unwell.

It would be great (and I assume simple) if FD could add a single binding to allow toggling of VR on and off without the need to enter the menus and scroll through.

I understand that there may be third party software that achieves this (not sure what) but I could do without that hassle.

I dream of this. MSFS has it. Star Wars Squadrons has it and Elite supports changing it while the game is running. So yes PLEASE add it as a hot key!

VR one button binding to toggle HMD / Monitor

Suggested by Edmundus over in VR. Thought it might be worth posting it here. Basically a shortcut to switch between the two as the grey background whilst on foot in VR is mirrored to the monitor even if you take the headset off, so it would be cool if a shortcut would change output and settings...

Posted to Suggestions sub forum <shrug> worth a try I reckon. It would be an easy win for both sides.

When this was posted last year:

When disembarking your ship or SRV, players will be presented with a projected flat game screen in their VR headset in order to continue on foot. Players will of course be able to remove headsets if they so choose, but this will not be a requirement to continue your adventure.

…it sounded to me like it would be an automatic switch to flatscreen if you removed your helmet, though it’s turned out to be not the case (so far).

Instead of a button press, why not ask for an auto switch?
