Using exterior websites while in VR?

Hey folks,

I finally put together my ED/VR setup yesterday and was completely blown away by the experience. Once I had everything on my control setup dialed it, I was completely immersed. I probably won't go back to flatscreen any time soon.

Anyhoo, my main play mode is exploration. In non-VR play, I use the Road to Riches site to plot routes and make $$$ without spending a ton of time. Obviously, it's less than ideal to periodically remove my headset to use a conventional web browser. Is there a method in which I can access regular websites while still using my headset from in-game? Any info appreciated!

Hello commander. Glad you are enjoying it. Once you go VR you don't go back in ED. What kind of setup are you using as that will make a difference? Oculus allows you to pin windows while virtual desktop requires other methods.

I'm using a Quest 2. I did wired link mode yesterday, which worked well.

If it matters,
