Don, quick question, do you have any yellow exclamation marks showing in Device Manager?

Until you try her, you’ll never know! She has transformed my life, taking control of lights, speakers, hifi, kettles, plugs, etc. Saying ‘VR off’ to switch off my VP2, or lying in bed on a cold morning and saying ‘kettle on’, then going down to the kitchen to find a just-boiled kettle, is bliss!

yep, I’ve used smart plugs for some time with my VR headsets. can I also add that combined with Alexa, they work really nicely.

Well, as I said, I had this issue on and off with my Index, and any other headset that has used the base stations. I think you’ve just had bad luck with the VP2.

Interesting, that is an issue that has driven me mad over the years. In the end, I just unplug the base stations until I want to use them.

I have had that issue with various headsets. Although it seems to be ok with your Index, I would have thought this is a SteamVR thing.

I had Bluetooth connection issues. They said it must be a faulty link box. I am not convinced, but, we’ll see!

My experience is the total opposite of yours, Don. It took a good few days to get the exchange admin sorted out with support. Then there was a huge amount of hassle with documentation because it had to be sent to Romania from the UK. I took the package to the UPS drop-off point, but I was told I had to have 3 copies of the invoice for customs, etc. etc., so I had to return home. I eventually got the package sorted out, but it has been sitting in a customs warehouse in Romania for over a week now! So, a couple of weeks in, I am no closer to getting VR back. I should add, this is just the link box, no headset involved!

I think it was here, or may have been on Marianas (where the issue is the same), where someone tried that. But, it didn’t work. Very frustrating all round.

Hmm, I don't have most of these. Do you want to raise it?

Should we report it as a bug or has it been done already?

Is everyone seeing this sort of thing in the Spit controls listing?

Still no resolution of this issue after today's DCS update.

Sadly, still no progress on this issue after today's DCS update.

Oh well, just an idea! Thanks.

Is there any way to swap out some of the switches in the CP2 for these?

You can’t connect 2 CPs, I’m afraid.

Mine has to go to Romania, and with all the hassles that Brexit has caused, this could mean I am without VR for quite a long time!

Don, I sympathise. I am having issues with my VP2 as well. In my case, I am getting regular Bluetooth connection errors. Vive support - who are very slow to respond - are suggesting it might be the Link box, so I'm trying to get that exchanged.

Try using the slider z-axis. It is most commonly used for zoom, and works perfectly.

I think the thread zildac is referring to is this However, although a lot of that is still relevant, the software has changed and the method is a little different now. What version are you on @CrashAlot

What I suggested above still works OK for me.

It's in your main install fodler, e.g. E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta

Excellent news! Your amazing utility is not really usable in VR without the virtual keyboard, so I'm still using the older version.

Has anyone managed to get the keyboard into the latest version yet?
