Hey guys, I'd really like to have a pilot avatar in my cockpit. I realize it would block the panels some but I could toggle it off temporarily when it's in the way like I do in the P-51 module.

 

I've decided to go all in on DCS because it's one of the most immersive experiences available but this really hurts in that regard.

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Trip

Recently getting VR myself, I would also like to be able to have a toggle pilot body for the Hawg. Maybe the current one when you hit Left Ctrl+F11 could be used? That one might be too low of a resolution but its an idea. :)

Agreed. Pilot body in the A10 would be awesome. I love the pilot body in the P51.... Great for immersion in VR.

What I'd love to see, is a body tracker refined to the point that the pilot avatar would move in the cockpit with your own movement in R/L, so when you reached out to hit a switch in VR, the avatar would match your own movement to hit the switch as a form of mouse tracking.

You would basically reach out with your own virtual hand/arm to maniplate controls in the cockpit. Given the current state of technology, it could be a viable next generation tech, if we could just get the companies involved to work with each other.

Leap is trying to go in this direction, but is still pretty crude comparitive to what is needed to do this. They have the basic framework, but not the resolution. They really need to partner with Oculus.

@faelwolf check out FlyInside (for P3D and FSX) Leap Motion integration. It's halfway there! I was a little bit surprised when I got into DCS that they don't have the same thing.

Yeah Trip, that is pretty close to what I was talking about, ED should take a look at that, maybe do a partnership with Leap for a 3rd party port or something. :)

Having a moving pilot could cause CPU/graphics card overload?

 

It can be turned off if you prefer. Right now p51 has pilot and it looks and works great!
