Leap motion with Gemini 5.2.0 (don't forget upgrading leapC.dll in DCS bin folder by the new one) works really nicely now !!!! tested with F18 and A10 !!!! started from C&D in few minutes much better than with mouse and much more immersive. I suppressed the pointer option that interfere with clicks and used a lot the cockpit camera to move my position where I can push my hands outside obscuration or hits by real objects of my environment like HOTAS, keyboard etc.... Dont hesitate also to move your head laterally to suppress the parallax effect or turn your hand upside down to switch button, can help a max. Not a single problem with frontal use. Only difficulties (some) is with turning lateral knobs like INS on F18 or TACAN on A10 but with some exercices you will be eased at.

I just received an answer from leap motion support: Please follow these steps to update this: 1. Copy the new leapc.dll from the following location (or the location where you have installed the Ultraleap hand tracking software): C:\Program Files\Ultraleap\VRVisualizer\VRVisualizer_Data\Plugins\LeapC.dll 2. Browse to the DCS World folder containing the LeapC.dll: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\bin 3. Replace the LeapC.dll with the new file. 4. Restart DCS World and test! And it works well and much better than before particularly to manage the pointers and about FOV Could be of some help to DCS users....

Same problem please DCS and leap fix it !!!!

Same problem with Gemini 5.2.0 cannot see hands anymore either……I will need to come back to 5.0 and it is a pity because the 5.2 looked very promising through their visualizer and very stable….

Unfortunately I just downloaded the last version of Ultraleap Gemini 5.2.0 which is superb in their visualizer with great improvement compared with 5.0 but it does not seem compatible with DCS….impossible to activate the hands when enabling the leap service in special area….if somebody has a fix thanks to share…. To answer about the display link I bought 3 devices from AliExpress around 8€ each :USB 3.0 To HDMI female Audio Video Adaptor Converter Cable For Windows 7/8/10 and was using the driver and app : FL2000-2.1.33788.0.exe from fresco logic and windows7-windows10 2.0.2.exe another one similar device from another shop never worked with the provided by shop drivers so I was refunded

Hi to all Some few words to share my procedure of how to perform a wonderful use of a leap motion device with DCS. It is a bit long but I think interesting to read and it will perhaps save time to some of you. I was flying in 2D with a TM Warthog. I have also built 3 hardware LCD MFCD and a proprietary track IR for few bucks, except the purchase of 2 sets of 2 Thrustmaster Cougar MFD. I equipped 3 MFCD with their own 800x600 color LCD to delocalize the virtual ones of F18 and A10 II. They are plugged using USB3 displaylinks saving GPU work. It was very nice (see description in home cockpit area) but I wanted trying VR flight. Flying in VR requires switching DCS multi monitor lua files and WIN10 display configuration to single monitor using user capabilities of DCS controls area. Personally I have 1 save for VR, 1 for single monitor 2D 1920x1080 and 1 for multi monitor 4320x1080, including the 3 real 800x600 MFCD (600x600 used), programmed in the user’s buttons 1/2/3. After buying my HP reverb G2, I replaced the gasket by a FRANKENFOV using a velcro mounted Samsung Odyssey foam as described on youtube. This allow a minimalist bottom view very useful looking the environment without removing the headset. I am also using VR optical lenses even if I have very minor correction and dont always wear glasses usually. At this point I discovered the problem to be blind to the environment. Using my own hands in the VR looks to be the only good solution compared with the constant permutation of VR controllers, HOTAS and mouse. I discovered the old leap motion tool through an italian guy youtube and bought one from one located in France of the three Ultraleap site indicated buyers. Hopefully this tool is now supported by DCS. Three days later I got both the leap motion (from UK) and a headset mount (from US) through Fedex. The following is my experience and recommendations: 1- I install the leap Gemini 5.0 driver downloaded from developper Ultraleap site 2- Leap device USB3 link is immediately discovered and configured by WIN10 64bit and I got a green status in the leap parameters software 3- I discovered first that using the leap mount, the USB cable had to go out to the right arm side when headset is on the head. On the other side, the leap view is upside down and does not work well if even it works 4- The insertion of the leap into the extractible mount plastic part is VERY tight and it is VERY difficult to remove it so think a lot before inserting it inside. 5- On the G2, sticking the mount to the headset must be done above the two camera lenses of the headset, just under the headset’s LED status light, not to disturb the headset tracking cameras. In this position, the leap is not centered vertically and the headset curvature make it is looking a bit upward. This is not bad because it prevents too much hands’ detection while they are on the HOTAS. Using leap mount is better and more stable according me than using velcro on the leap device because a fixed and stable position is critical. The price of the mount is not so much. 6- Be sure to perfectly center horizontally the mount before sticking it on the headset. It is a one shot because the glue is very strong. This is critical for perfect symmetrical tracking. 7- At first I was very disappointed. The tracking was good but not perfect with the leap visualizer software so I made a fresh calibration using parameters software built-in app. It took me at least ten trials before succeeding reaching 80/100. Don’t discourage and be sure that for this task, the USB cable is going out to the left arm side. I performed the task with the device placed on the headset in its mount and not with it on hand as recommended by the application. Doing this, the headset was upside down allowing the cable out to the left arm as required. There is a demo video on youtube. 8- After a precise 80/100 calibration, the tracking through the visualizer was absolutely perfect. You must have : the leap USB link connected on a USB3 with a green symbol on WIN10 task bar icons all green status in leap parameters software, (I disabled the fault correction and robust tick linked with light) plug your G2 to get WMR opening and launch steamVR, then the leap visualizer obtain the 2 hands and arms skeletons with fingers able to touch in synchronism with reality, this means calibration is OK 9- close the visualizer and parameter software and launch DCS 10- it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to first make your environment as lean as possible. In the beginning every time I wanted touching a virtual button, my hands were hitting something real so I rebuild fully my environment with this constraint in mind. Also you MUST program and use the DCS cockpit camera commands particularly the forward and aft ones, then up and down and in a lesser importance right and left. This is mainly important for cold & dark startup were you manage many side buttons. Can be also of great help to manage frontal obscuration by real world objects like a desk or a monitor Personally I use a programmable Xencelab small device able to program 5 sets of 8 keys onto a 10x5x1 centimeter box with a small OLED display giving the names of commands. This is a perfect complement to an HOTAS were all commands are generally already affected in a recent jet AC. I also positioned my stick and chair, of which I removed both armrest, very accurately and fixed using a fully adjustable studio monitor foot Gravity SP3102 which is very cheap and perfectly usable with the Warthog joystick. I am also using a side keyboard stand and a Trackball Logitech in place of a mouse. It is a much stable solution, always at the same location and that you could find blindly easily. I recommend it highly. 11- In DCS control « special » area activate leap and « thumb pressure » tick I HIGHLY recommend suppressing all green pointers’ lines obtained while hands are closed because they interfere a lot with the command through fingers. This could be very difficult to obtain in DCS. There is probably a DCS bug. You will need to select several pointer positions (right/left/both hands) every time ticking and unticking leap activation, click OK and going back to adjustment until pointers effectively disappears when closing hands. This is ESSENTIAL according me. The leap motion is not really designed to click on menu buttons, mouse is here to stay… In VR DCS commands part, click using mouse and restraint it to game area then unclick hand controllers With this procedure, I successfully started and F18 from cold and dark using only hands, quite as fast as with a mouse and very accurately. It is really a HUGE improvement in immersion. Encountered (small) problems were: a) some buttons are tricky to reach and/or activate (INS, RADAR, OBOGS…)in F18 you NEED to use the cockpit camera commands to move inside the cockpit, place the buttons onto leap device FOV and use then a reset command button to recenter view quickly. However I was even able to adjust rotating MFD brightness buttons using thumb and forefinger b) dont hesitate turning head looking to buttons. Dont forget the tracking device is on your head and has a limited while correct field of view c) of course use of leap motion during flight on the MFD in front of you is very easy and accurate e) I encountered some freezes and two full disappearance of one hand during a one hour flight. Only one needing going in the special commands area to deactivate then activate leap to recover it. Moving hands close and far in front the device generally solves the problem. So if you want invest few amount of money for a giant step into immersion dont hesitate. I join some photos as well. Have a good day Archive.zip

bah my samsung odyssey foam plus some velcro and VR optical lenses make the job for few bucks and I have no connexion problems with my AMD 6900

How do you deactivate pointers? Even with option tick off they stay there….

I have exactly the same behavior tracking perfect with leap software and very poor in DCS very sad….. Did you succeeded suppressing the pointers laser like rays? Even with the option deactivated in Special area, they stay alive and interfere severely with my fingers position and actions

As far as I know leap motion is only working with ED AIrcraft not with third party aircraft

Oups Found solution in camera cockpit movement sorry

Is the pilot seat adjustable in height because the vertical velocity indicator is full masqued by the gunsight reflector assembly the dial is seen through navigator position but there is no possibility using elevator trim nor throttle from this position.

I followed strictly the orders of the speaker inside the training mission and yes the fuze switching were on and on nose

No explosion of internal bombs after release in the training bomb run so you don’t know what you’ve hit

Does the same jitter for me when bounded on my Warthog HOTAS button on the position of the speed brake button back and aft position same behavior ok with the mouse.

Same shimmering (twinkle) phenomenon as dirty like 0330 mainly visible on fast mission F18 ready on ramp on ground. Looking other ac or building at mid distance or even in the HUD lines are like if no AA was applied au the long distance display glitter like a Christmas tree …. 10700k 32Go NVME SSD 1Tb AMD6900XT reverb G2 on flight it is not really disturbing but on carrier or ground it destroy the display

Every of you forget one more parameter important to the radar: the sensitivity of its receiver and the required S/N ratio to detect ..... is not infinite, better to look at radar equation, at MIT books about theory or skolnik or barton books and swerling curves...also active missile approach warning based on Doppler principle does exist but not at the same frequency of the AI radar which is generally X band. RCS also is linked to frequency and small AA missiles are not detected by Air Intercept radars. Cruise missiles are subsonic and much bigger than AA and can eventually been shot. SAMs have not the same power nor frequency and can detect AGM88 or SLAM that are quite big. Additionnaly a mach 3 or more vehicle stuff will be outside the Doppler bank filters. It is a also inside internal real time operational program of the radar. Otherwise, you can imagine the mess on the display for pilots in a BVR combat with 4 against 4 ships shooting each 3 or 4 missiles in TWS !!!!Plus the opponents' missiles ??? and with no IFF ??? unbelievable period.

YESSSSSSSSSS A thousand of thank you!!!!! I would never have sought about that!!!! I was ready to re installed the whole stuff....I dont understand, I ve never checked this gameplay tick Hourra sorry for my bad english

Impossible to take off in any configuration on ground or CVN. Even in full AB je acceleration is very slow and I reach 150kts end of runway Lack of detected full power prevent launching on CV with the salute button. If salute activated by radio I launch then crash immediately by lack of speed ….what happen? Did I have to restore or repair the FA18 flight model? how to do that ??

Same problem since last update, my hornet does not succeed making the salute I need using the radio function key command. Also it is lacking horribly of power. Even in full AB I crash just after taking off. I think I am not la ounce because max power is not reached ….a big bug

Question, in stp too mode, with only 2 waypoints, do you program the Waypoint 2, which is Target designated on hsi, as STP2 ? I tried a lot of thing but never obtained what I wanted. Either the path was not followed or the altitude programmed led the SLAM into the mountain like it had no altimeter to stay AGL…. Also obtained a very curious oscillation of the flight when approaching a turning point

The waypoint succession is not followed in auto pilot CPL and jump from 2 to 6 impossible to go to waypoint 5 or less Bug of AFFCS CPL wpt seq on MFCD.trk

On Caucasus map, the HSI/SA geography is normally displayed on 40/20/10/5NM scales but for : gulf map 5NM is missing syria map only 10NM scale is populated, Nevada 40/20/5NM scales are populated with map but not 10NM scale Normandy only 10NM scale has a map bug of display of map Nevada on MFCD.trk Bug of display of map Normandy on MFCD.trk bug of display of map syria on MFCD.trk
