VR must have mods

Not necessarily a mod, but two programs for oculus owners:

Touchbinder

Auto oculus touch

These will allow you to map keybinds to your oculus controllers, or axis to the thumb sticks, very useful for those who fly solely with touch controllers in VR

I fly with rudder pedals and just my touch controls, by binding things like right shift to thumb stick clicks as modifiers (and so on) you have about 30+ bindable keys for your touch controls

Touchbinder is very easy to configure and allows simple creation of a script using an online tool, Auto oculus touch is not as easy requiring

some manual script writing which is sometimes complex and time consuming but will allow you to bind joysticks as an axis output, useful for rudder, handy for those who fly solely with VR controllers

If you have managed to load the above programs as suggested by THE__PWN3R here are a couple of scripts to make the transition to total VR control.

These scripts were provided by THE__PWN3R, I have tweaked them for my use. Thanks P3.

These scripts are useful for all aircraft if using VR only as some require the full stick/throttle/rudder or just rudder, depending on what the module maker has provided.

auto_oculus_touch script

For full stick, throttle and rudder control, it provides pitch and roll to the right Touch controller (ergonomic style), rudder and throttle to the left Touch controller joystick. The throttle needs to be held in position but read on for a solution ;=)

The second script is the TouchBinder script at the bottom of the page, which, adds a lot more control to the throttle and lets you set the throttle to where you want it to stay. You will need to unbind (clear) the throttle axis in game settings if using this script.

Both scripts can be run at the same time.

auto_oculus_touch script

Copy the following to notepad, name as you like and make sure it ends with .ahk [e.g. totalvr.ahk]

then place it in the auto_oculus_touch folder. Run the script before flying.

#include auto_oculus_touch.ahk

; This is used to treat the trigger like a button. We need to remember the old state.

oldTrigger:=0

; Start the Oculus sdk.

InitOculus()

InitvJoy(1)

; Main polling loop.

Loop {

; Grab the latest Oculus input state (Touch, Remote and Xbox One).

Poll()

; Get the various analog values. Triggers are 0.0-1.0, thumbsticks are -1.0-1.0

leftIndexTrigger := GetTrigger(LeftHand, IndexTrigger)

leftHandTrigger := GetTrigger(LeftHand, HandTrigger)

leftY := GetThumbstick(LeftHand, YAxis)

rightIndexTrigger := GetTrigger(RightHand, IndexTrigger)

rightHandTrigger := GetTrigger(RightHand, HandTrigger)

rightX := GetThumbStick(RightHand, XAxis)

rightY := GetThumbStick(RightHand, YAxis)

; Get button states.

; Down is the current state. If you test with this, you get a key every poll it is down. Repeating.

; Pressed is set if transitioned to down in the last poll. Non repeating.

; Released is set if transitioned to up in the last poll. Non repeating.

down := GetButtonsDown()

pressed := GetButtonsPressed()

released := GetButtonsReleased()

touchDown := GetTouchDown()

touchPressed := GetTouchPressed()

touchReleased := GetTouchReleased()

; Now to do something with them.

}

SetvJoyAxis(HID_USAGE_RY, (pitch)/45.0)

;SetvJoyAxis(HID_USAGE_X, (yaw)/40.0)

Sleep, 10

}

TouchBinder Script

Using this will allow smooth control of the throttle that will stay where you move it to. It will work in conjunction with the auto_oculus_touch script, just load both scripts before you go flying.

In DCS settings you will have to unbind (clear) the throttle axis, and assign throttle up to Numpad+ (NumpadAdd] and throttle down to Numpad- [NumpadSub] if not already set to this..

Open a new notepad and copy this:

bPressed|bLUp|0,{NumpadAdd down}

bReleased|bLup|0,{NumpadAdd up}

bPressed|bLdown|0,{NumpadSub down}

bReleased|bLDown|0,{NumpadSub up}

Name the file settings.txt then insert in the file containing the TouchBinder.exe. Run the script before flying.

Extras:

To complicate matters the auto_oculus script can be changed just by changing comments next to two lines in the script.

This includes rudder control to the right Touch so that you have pitch, roll, and yaw combined on the right controller and just throttle on the left. The two lines are: SetvJoyAxis(HID_USAGE_X, leftX) and ;SetvJoyAxis(HID_USAGE_X, (yaw)/40.0) comment out (;) either or but not both at the same time (you try explaining this....). Don't forget to reload the script if you make any changes.

I included a wheel brake switch press to the left Touch joystick for easy taxying and braking.

I use Voiceattack for many other controls e.g. Gear, Flaps up/down and the important Eject !!! command.

Enjoy

Thanks Quekel. I didn't know about some of these, especially the autoexec advice.

FYI!

Kegetys Shader Mod - Works on latest version - IC Pass

Does not pass IC. It says it in the first post.

Either this, or this should be added to the OP list of must haves

This makes it possible to set shadows to in-cockpit only and has a huge positive impact on framerates compared to having shadows set to low (or higher)

(with a note though, that it doesn't pass IC)

Also this thread should be made a sticky imho

Hello,

1)

I can't get the following to work tried it with both standalone and steam version.

Is yours still working (touchbinder)? minus the // etc

bDown|bA|0,a //view zoom

bPressed|bLThumb|0,{w down} //wheel brakes on

bReleased|bLThumb|0,{w up} //wheel brakes off

bDown|bX|0,x //re-center head

bDown|bY|0,y //game menu

bPressed|bLTrigger|0,{z down} //left rudder on

bReleased|bLTrigger|0,{z up} //left rudder off

bPressed|bRTrigger|0,{x down} //right rudder on

bReleased|bRTrigger|0,{x up} //right rudder off

2)

Also, I can't get the (auto oculus touch) program script to work, the autohotkey says there are error in the script, starting 1st line. #include auto_oculus_touch.ahk ???

3)

By the way, since you are using VR Controller, how do you play BVR and some Bombs, which requires to you to move TDC to acquire targets.

4)

Without a HOTAS and Mouse (mouse breaks immersion), but with Voice Attack,

I can play some stuff with VR controller

AA: Air to Air Gun and Missile AIM9,7, 120 with ACM only, Aircraft Landing and TakeOff

AG: AG gun, AG rocket both seems to be simple fun (have not get to them yet)

Since the forum update, most of the links don’t work......can someone point me in the right direction for them?

Yeah the update to the forum killed a lot of links. Just have to find them and save again.

U can also use an app openvr2 key where you can bind all the controls just like how you play in Vtol VR
