Goals
Twitch2DCS was primarily created so that DCS World streamers who played in VR could interact with Twitch chat without the need to take the HMD off, or have Twitch chat hooked up to a text-to-speech engine. By allowing the chat to be visible within DCS the immersion of the game does not have to be broken, and VR streamers can still interact with the audience. Twitch2DCS is not restricted to VR users, it will work for single monitor and surround setups.
Current Features
