VR wishlist

[Frusheen]

Would be great to navigate menus, in out of missions, etc, without having to use a mouse while in VR. Anyone has found a better way? Cheers.

 

Just disable the mouse in the vr tab and bind left and right click in the controls menu (under ui settings). You can then look at what you want to click as the cursor is tied to headtracking.

 

I just wish the cursor vanished when not over an active click spot though as it is very distracting when not in use.

There is of course the completely practical and viable alternative of voice activated commands. It was the first thing I added to my set up after I got the Rift. I use a button on the joystick to engage the Voice Attack system to listen, and then you can just speak a command, or say a key press, and then release the listening button. It is much easier than adding a camera, and gives plenty of flexibility, even going as far as entire macros if you so desire.

 

 

Been considering getting voice attack, can I ask does it have any effect on perfomance?

Not that I have found. Best 10 bucks I spent in a long while. It has quickly become invaluable, especially with VR. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I added HCS voice packs for Elite D and SC for even more awesomeness.

 

It really can be used in some many ways. DCS isn't the only title you can find benefit with it.

I use a one handed keypad with f1-f12 mapped to it, and a few stickers to add texture. Works reasonably well, I might consider voice attack for some other sequential commands or basic stuff like gear up.

Thank you, unckecking the use mouse in VR solved it, thank you!!!

Today, internally, we implemented the ability to cursor select Radio Menu items.

 

Thanks

 

U really think that is a good idea?

 

U really should implement selecting com items with joystick buttons. Cursor down, up, back, select. Just let us assign it to hotkeys.

 

I have no time for leaving my stick alone for using my mouse in the cockpit for communcation.

 

Pls have more good ideas.

Like the idea of configurable modyfier keys. This is one of the best ideas on earth. :)

 

Thanks in advance!

You mean the things that you can do with F1, F2... on keyboard?

That has been available for many, many years. Unless you mean something other than what it appears that you said.

I personally would very much like that ability to be implemented for the mouse in VR!

 

I use a center mounted stick, and have a pull out from my desk on the right just beside it that I keep my mouse on, I can easily reach and use it for something like this.

Exactly.

 

I can explain it more clearly:

I press the hotkey for com. Why I cant just now select the com items with my e.g. 8-way on my joystick? Maybe with pressing a modifyer key additionally. That I can decide.

 

We just need mapable commands like:

Com Menue Up (POV up)

Com Menue Down (POV down)

Com Menue Back (POV left)

Com Menue Select (POV right)

 

I just cant get it into my brain, why this possibility just doesn't even exists :D

In nearly any system on earth, where u have a stick, u can act like this. Its just intuitive.

 

Finding F1-F12 in fight and maybe in VR... No good idea

But doing combos with the joystick like: "Down->Right->Down->Down->Right" is easy.

Its ok for me, if u want to use a mouse in a cockpit.

I use it, too.

 

But not for Com.

I don't like and it destroys my immersion. I don't want to leave my stick for navigating through com menuesin the upper right corner.

 

And it's really nothing special about it, to let the user map these commands above.

Use VoiceAttack.

 

Anyway, what I want most from VR is more FOV.

[hannibal]

VR wishlist..

 

Make the doorgunners work properly for the Huey and Gazelle with axis mappings to controllers for the doorgun traverse!!

[Vannipo]

Use VoiceAttack.

 

Until ED give us hotkeys... maybe yes.

Funny :D More FOV for ur eyes. It thought, it's fixed by nature.

[Boris]

Why? What could be more realistic than radio comms with your voice?

[Vannipo]

Cause I didnt used it until now and have set it up, and mostly (late in the afternoon) I can't talk that loud, cause of my wife is sleeping early :D

 

And yes, for immersion this would be perfect !

What does that even mean?

[Vannipo]

Just that the FOV of ur eyes is fixed. But I know, what u meant.

Feature Request:

Pls let me (us) do all the Menue-Mission-Editor-Stuff without VR. And, if I click on "Fly", i put on my HMD. After changing many tiny things in the ME, my eyes already need a break.
