Settings

This article goes over the Settings area, accessible through the main menu of VTOL VR. It contains configuration options only available outside of flight. These do not duplicate the options found in the MFCD's Settings pages.

Settings

Game Tab

• Interactable Tooltips: "Show names of interactable objects when hovering over them." Displays a Tooltip over the player's hand when hovering over an interactive control in their cockpit. On/Off.
