Yes that was it! Thank you very much, now i can move my head again ;-) Any ideas on the WMR Controller Thing?

Hey guys i recently got the HP Reverb and am still in the process of setting it up properly. Graphics are really great and i very much enjoy the experience since this is my first vr set. I followed the instructions on setup given here and am currently in Solo missions very happy. Reprojection is working and frames hit 90 most of the time and GPU and CPU frame time is roughly around 10ms. So everything feels really smooth. I currently still run 100% Samplerate in Steam VR so i guess there is some more room to fiddle with that. Now to my question, it seems i have changed something i guess by accident in the head movement department, because now if i am in a cockpit lets say A10C when i try to move the head towards the right console it is like the whole plane shifts away from me. I can not look at the engines anymore because i cant get close to the canopy anymore. What did i change? Also i have been flying the included P-51 with the WMR Controllers and while the right controller works great for the stick, if i use the left controller to manipulate engine and prop rpm the controller does attach to the lever but i can not "let loose" afterwards. Any ideas and help would be appreciated. Thanks Jan

Well thanks so far guys! I am going for it. Thrustmaster Warthog is on order, Saitek Pro Pedals and Thrustmaster MDFs as well Monitor question remains for the front consol since i dont have all the monitors yet. JT

@Gremlin77 seriously I dont wanna go as far as you did :lol: but love the Tornado in your house!!!! Does anyone know of the head how big the screen has to be to best represent the center console if I hide it behind some wood as suggested? Thx Jan

Hello and a deep bow to all you "crazy" pit builders. I have been following this section of the forum for over a year now and for me it is one of the best forums that I have ever seen! So much information and so many people actually working together. The reason for my post is that I need the last bit of encouragement to finally get going myself. My main issue right now is that I am not quite sure if I have the technological skills to get it done. By that I dont mean the woodwork or wiring up some switches. Its the more complex stuff that really scares me. Well I started with outlining for myself what i want and what I probably can do myself. I am going to share my thoughts with you hopeing that you could perhaps steer me in the right direction. I want a simpit with working switches on the sidepanels. If possible with the working flight computer. I want a center console done with a screen because working gages there is far beyond my skill level. I like to use the MFD's over the screen as others have done it. For the view I like to stick with 3 monitors since I dont have room for something with projectors. Now the list for my limitations seems to be enormous in comparison to what I have seen here so far. I neither have a laser nor a CNC in my basement. I have no skill whatsoever in programming stuff. I couldnt even find the materials that you guys are talking about anywhere near me. I have to add that I am german (native language), living in a remote village in France and trying with all my wits to find something like the GWIZ Boards in either France or Germany since I have to order the fancy stuff online anyway. Then I saw Reactotrons Thread about how he made his panels by hand and I thought cool I might be able to do that but translating from 3mm acrylic plastic doesnt even get me far enough to order the stuff online somewhere let alone knowing how much to order. Also I havent quite figured out if these USB Controler Boards is all I need to hook up the switches? In short it seems that I am completely stupid and probably unfit to start the project. But then I really love to get my first real sim. Anyway this is a big shout for :helpsmilie:specially to the guys that are in Germany/France/England if they might point out some sources where I can buy the necessary stuff online. Does anyone have experience with outsourcing the cutting and engraving of the panels hoping that I am allowed to use the drawings here in the forum? Well I put myself in your hands in hope that someone feels like helping a noob to get his simwings. THX Jan
