VR Cockpit Problem

[raymin]

Hi all, having purchased Oculus Rift recently, i have it setup especially for my DCS flight simming, it is absolutely amazing in VR sat inside the virtual A-10C cockpit.

 

I am having a small problem, which i am hoping someone may be able to provide me with a solution please, when sat in front of my computer desk with my Warthog HOTAS and my new VR headgear on, i find once i go into the sim, i am practically sat very close to the VR console in front of me, is there a way of adjusting the distance of the VR cockpit once inside it.

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Welcome to the club.

 

If I understand correctly the issue your having, try this...

 

Options - Controls. Then click on the top left box ( this is where you select which aircraft you are flying ). Scroll down until you see "UI Layer" and select a suitable button that you can use to recenter your view. ( I use button 21 on my Hog Throttle ).

 

Once you click that it recenters your view.

 

Hope that helps!

That is not what he means.

I have the same gripe. the neutral position of the view in the A10 is very close to the front panel.

it feels that the flight stick is pressing against your "crutch".

 

in the other planes I fly, the M2K, the P51, F86, Huey. the neutral position is correct, you feel like you are sitting in the seat. Not on the flight stick as in the A10.

 

Personally, I just "stick my head in the HUD" and reset position. then when I sit back correctly, it looks fine. However, I think the decision on the central position was made so that the HUD will fill up the glass as folks transitioning from the 2D pit would expect. (not sure if the HUD is like that in the real aircraft, or it's something tweaked to make it more readable in 2D when the hog was originally released).

 

So the question is actually, "Is it possible to change the default center position in the A10?". I think.

I've tried everything and before every flight I use the right ctrl, shift and numpad / to slide back a bit. takes a couple of seconds.

• RCTRL + RSHFT + KP4,2,6,8 = Moves your eyepoint L,D,R,U respectively
  
• RCTRL + RSHFT + KP*, KPMinus = Moves your eyepoint fore and aft
  
• RALT + KP0 = Saves your current eyepoint position

ED should really fix this.

I double-click my mouse wheel button, then holding down the mouse wheel button while rolling it,I move forward and backward as I scroll the wheel. Double click the mouse wheel to get the default pointer back. This approach is easier for me because I don't need to use the keyboard. The F-15 and A-10 always require this adjustment.

In the A10C the default view is set so that you can see the HUD. Il the real plane, the pilote has to lean forward when using the HUD.

[raymin]

Thank you all very much for you input, i will start trying all your suggestions. :thumbup:

[Scooternutz]

I use the cockpit camera settings. Forward/Back and Up/Down. Never have a problem with being too close.

 

I have my Number 3 button on my Joystick as shift and use the trim hat set for Fwd/Back/Up/Down.

Interesting. So ED decided to have the default position leaning forward. That is why the chair seems so far back. Be nice if there was an option to leave the default position like it would be in real life and then we would all know that you need to lean forward to see the HUD properly. Strange that it would be like this in real life though!!!

Disagree with the F15. I always adjust but its a bit different than the A10. In the A10, the default centre position is like a foot forward from the seat. The F15 at least you are properly positioned in the seat.

I am having the same issue, but it seems that my cockpit is about 75% size. I can practically reach the foot pedals with my hands, my butt is inside the seat, my head is almost above the headrest, my hips are on the side consoles, and all the toggle switches look too small.

 

The scale is definitely off.

What VR device?

I have a thread on what to do :)

The issue is that when you are in the warthog, the default position the pilot is in, is leaning forward. Its annoying but really quite easy to work around.

 

Simply lean forward a bit and use the recenter button. This will tell the game that you sitting further forward is the location you should be and the game will recenter there, thus when you lean back to where you want to sit is more natural, and just like in all the pictures of warthog pilots going in for attack runs, they lean forward. This is what I do before I do anything else, takes like 2 seconds and after a few times you get used to it.

 

Or you can bind some buttons in the cockpit view sections to do this mechanically.

I don't know if this is to late but just sit forward a little and then reset the position. Also, move your seat in real life to get the perfect view. I have no problems re-adjusting whatsoever.

 

The best aircraft to get that feeling of actually sitting in a seat is the Viggen. You look slightly behind you and the headrest is in exactly the position you expect it to be in. It's wonderful.

dburne,

I am using the Vive.

 

DDSSTT,

The problem I am seeing is not a pilot position problem. It doesn't matter where you sit, everything is about 75% scale. As I look down, my butt is inside the seat while my head is almost off the top of the headrest and everything is small. The joystick looks like I could barely fit three fingers around it, the foot pedals are halfway up my shins, etc.

 

Interestingly, the graphics in the HUD seem to be scaled correctly, which makes them not fit inside the 75% HUD frame. I've moved my viewpoint all around and the only way I can see all of the HUD display at once is to put my chin on the dashboard.

 

Again, the problem I'm having isn't a position issue, it's a scaling issue.

Go to Peter P's "Proper Neck/Head position mod" thread, find the latest updates and install...and then you have this for every plane

AH! Many thanks!!

Readjust your seat position and then save the new position as default. It's a simple fix.
