VR-Note-Taking Made Easy

Have you ever tried flying on VATSIM or a similar network in VR? Before I had built FSKneeboard, I haven’t! Because I was too scared of missing something important and going straight to “say again, say again, say again”-hell! Not my cup of tea. As a Private Pilot, I am used to constantly taking notes. If you’re pilot yourself, you know the drill, I guess 🙂

But taking notes “under the hood” of a VR headset can become quite a pain. Using a physical kneeboard and constantly peaking out of it is not an option for me. Hence I added this notepad to the extension, which allows you to do just that: Take notes when you have to. Dead simple!

The Notepad Interface

The notepad can be used in one of two modes: Scribble Mode and Type Mode. The two modes can be used on the same note and you can switch back and forth between them any time.

  • In Scribble Mode you use your mouse to, well, scribble something on the notepad. Just click the left mouse button, hold it down and drag your mouse to draw a line and handwrite notes.
  • In Type Mode you can either the virtual onscreen keyboard or your physical keyboard to type information.

Taking Multiple Notes

You can take up to 5 notes at a time and switch between them using the index buttons in the menu bar. The notes will be saved even across multiple flights, until you delete them manually!
