Let’s be fair about this. Rafgaj made it clear in his advertisement that it was fixed sized at 21.5mm as he made it only for his fingers. That’s one reason why completely redeveloped the CAD from scratch so I could offer a made to measure service. Try some hot melt glue. It will last longer. This is just how DCS works. If you add another game controller, it will appear in the settings. It’s the same if you add another joystick or throttle. I don’t think this is an issue with your units. You are using HTCC in VR Controller mode and the rings are mouse emulators. Who knows how DCS behaves with VR controllers pointing at buttons and then a mouse click happens. I don’t see this when HTC is in tablet mode.

Here's a video of it in action: a cold start, taxi out, departure, a circuit of the airfield, and arrival. Can you spot the deliberate mistake?

You can find the solution here:

Could you share some details please? A screenshot of the driver and release notes or a link to it. Also what did you change on the bios. A screenshot or photo would be of great help.

I am using a pimax crystal. I was replying to gryzor.

Does this only happen with DCS? Can you test it with other VR games?

Are you using Oculus Link or VD or something else? If Oculus Link, if you have changed the sharpening setting in the ODT to quality this can cause stuttering. Change it back to normal.

Glad you got it working.

I’ve used Oculus Link, Oculus Air Link, VD and SteamVR. There’s nothing wrong with Oculus Link. It’s the only one I use once I had tried all the others.

A scroll wheel would be difficult. However, it does have scroll up and down functionality with acceleration. So it has normal left and right mouse button emulation and scroll up and down. The scroll up and down is a single click per press, or if you press and hold, it scrolls faster, like spinning a scroll wheel. Then, there is the centre button mapped to the back button on one hand and the other to the middle mouse button. The scroll acceleration makes using the HSI and course controls, HMCS intensity, console dials, etc, much easier to use. You can also use right-click hold and move your hand up and down with HTCC to spin dials. Plus the firmware can be updated.

I will have to think about that, as I'm not set up for recording and editing videos. Leave it with me, although preparing one might take some time.

I haven't tried a regular finger mouse, so I'm unsure how to compare them. This one is compact, has five buttons, is Bluetooth, sleeps after 15 minutes of no use, wakes instantly on middle button press, charges via USB-C from 0 to 100% in under an hour, and has a battery life that lasts for days. In your experience, how would you say that compares?

Yeah, in menus, it's no good. I use a normal mouse for the menus prelaunch. In the cockpit, I have the menu controls mapped to my HOTAS. Were you aware you can move up, down, return, and select using joystick buttons in in-game menus? I have developed my own finger mouse. I call it the Slugmouse. I have one for each hand.

It can't be smooth at such low frame rates. There can be many causes for this, so here are a bunch of questions. Has it always been like this, or has it just started to happen? What is your headset frame rate set to? Is your CPU power or temperature throttling? This would explain a slowdown as the machine gets hot. Does it only happen in aircraft, or does it also happen in the game menu before starting a mission? Try moving your head fast from side to side in the menu. If it's not smooth, you might be experiencing the core loading issue with the multi-threaded binary version of DCS. A workaround for this is available. What does the task manager show for memory usage? Is your GPU getting too hot and throttling down?

If you move your head and keep your hand still, it will appear as though your hand is moving in the opposite direction to your head. That's because the hand is actually moving across the camera sensor. It's a little annoying because in VR but not DCS (so in the headset home space) the hands do not move as the head moves. I guess the headset tracks hand movement in relation to the background. I expect Meta doesn't export that environment data for PCVR use. I've learnt to keep my head still while looking at the control I need to adjust. What finger mouse are you using? Oh, Meta's famous v63 release broke HTCC. More on this with a workaround here:

If you've been messing with the settings in the Oculus Debug Tool, don't. The default works just fine. FYI, it's the link slicing. Disable it. If you haven't messed with the settings, I expect your headset is fubar.

For anyone currently trying to use HTCC and Oculus (v63), it's broken. Luckily, there is a simple workaround here:

More details here: OpenXR hand/body tracking extensions not working o... - Meta Community Forums - 1155017 (atmeta.com) @NineLine @BIGNEWY, it may be worth raising this with the dev team to see if it can be resolved in a future DCS release.

Here's a workaround from Fred.... Delete or rename dbghelp.dll in the DCS bin-mt and bin directory. It appears that both Oculus and DCS are trying to load different versions of it, which causes the problem.

If, like me, you use Fred Emmott's great HTCC (hand tracking for flight simulator cockpit clicking) OpenXR app with a Quest Pro or Quest 3 to control the mouse pointer with your hands, v63 of the Oculus Link PC app breaks it. Yes, the great v63 release strikes again! Unfortunately, because of the v63 Oculus / DCS crash issue, I haven't been able to use DCS and v63 together to discover this extra treat from Meta. @NineLine, maybe it could be helpful if I am part of the DCS closed beta team so I could find these bugs earlier in the development cycle, just as I did back in early February by reporting the v63 DCS crash the day the Meta beta build was issued. Here is the link to HTCC for anyone interested in using it. It also works with other headsets and the Ultrleap motion controller. Home | HTCC (fredemmott.com) v63 has been a bit of a perfect storm. Hopefully, Fred will be able to fix it soon. Meanwhile... I'm back on v62, as I kept a backup of the Oculus folder for just this kind of problem!

Fellow pilots, I have permission from ED to sell these via the forum. So.. who wants a pair? What will you get? A pair of slugmice - one for each hand. Ease of use. Just pair them with your PC/laptop via Bluetooth. No calibration is necessary. Battery life lasts for days, not hours. Recharged time of an hour maximum. Just enough time for chow and some beer. Low power mode (hibernation) following 15 minutes of inactivity. Almost instant wakeup when the middle button is pressed. In black ABS. Battery status is displayed in the Bluetooth Connected Devices section of Windows. You won't get: There is no fancy box or bag that adds to the cost. Let's face it: You won't want to put these away in a bag because you fly nearly every chance you can get, right? There is no USB-C charging cable to add to the cost; haven't you got hundreds already? No two-year waiting list! I expect to ship in a week or so (depending on parts availability). Price: 134.99 GBP plus P+P. Paypal goods and services. How to order: Determine the ring size of your left and right index finger. I will make the rings to fit you personally. Send me a private message with your email address and shipping address. I will then send you a PayPal invoice. If you prefer to pay another way, let me know via a private message, and I will try to accommodate. Worldwide shipping although there may be some exceptions. If your headset already supports hand-tracking and can be used to control a mouse pointer, e.g. Oculus Pro and Oculus 3 along with HTCC, then you do not need any additional hardware. If your device does not support hand tracking and can't be used to control the mouse pointer, e.g. HP Reverb G2, you can use a Leap Motion Controller (V1 or V2) from Ultraleap.

You don't need steamVR with VD and DCS. It's actually better without it.null

Fred recommends to use touchscreen emulation in his wiki for DCS: Here are my HTCC registry settings: htcc.reg

I have made some changes in the registry settings for HTCC to make it more useful in DCS. I reduced the FOV at which the HTCC takes control of the mouse, which makes switching between the hand-tracked mouse emulation and a physical mouse easier. Let me know if you would like to try my registry settings for HTCC.
