New VR Settings for 2.5

[Wags]

Dear All,

 

Here are some new VR settings coming with DCS World 2.5.

 

Thanks!

[Knock-Knock]

Excellence Your Eminence. Thank you :thumbup:

[Buckeye]

Ooooooooo...

Hand controllers!

Will be fun to experiment with.

As long as it keeps the annoying "VR Hands/Gloves" from constantly showing on screen...that is the worst :music_whistling:

Whats the "IPD Distance" thinger?

[BobFlex]

"USE HAND CONTROLLERS"

 

Does this mean what I think it means, or is it just controlling whether the hands get rendered or not?

If you perceive the world too small or too big, then you can adjust the games IPD - set to match you headsets for example, that you calibrate/set during the setup (for Oculus, not sure how it works with Vive etc). Some titles call it World Scale.

So when we sometimes think the troops on the ground are slightly smaller than expected in RL we can alter it?

Well that is what Im hoping for, cause my DCS World is a tad small. Even the troops. I match their height alright, but it still feels like Im looking at a kid / toy. Same for the vehicles. Cockpits too, but I have little to no experience with their size in real life. But the seat, switches, just everything feels off scale to me, again as if Im a giant in there - though Im very sure that the actual scale is correct.

Cool, the future is bright.

 

 

By the way ED, I really like the mini updates and coming additions posts. Its really nice to see information coming our way.

IPD, at least in relation to the Rift = Interpupillary Distance.

One adjusts it on the Rift with a slider to give the best and clearest image.

 

Not sure how an IPD setting within the game would affect the size of the world...

This is where I learned about it, when it was discussed on here a few days ago

So what ED is giving us is "Virtual IPD - This is the distance between the cameras (or virtual eyes) in the virtual world. We shall see that this distance completely determines the sense of scale of objects in relation to you."

 

That seems rather awesome to have! :thumbup:

both IPD and hand controllers... nice! thanks Wags, appreciate the update!

I took the battery out of mine lol. I don't use them anyway.

I've been doing that for now as well too...

[hannibal]

If the touch controllers are functional in the clickable cockpit... i wil be beyond speechless...

Just lay them down and let them go to sleep - does not take long, then no gloves in DCS...

[funkyfranky]

Thanks, looks good :)

 

Wags, can you briefly comment on the integration of the CaptoGloves Groove mentioned recently [1]? Did you already had the chance to test them?

[Swoodle]

Well that just blew my mind. If gloves start working within the DCS cockpit. . .. Looks like I'll be forking out for a pair.

[hansangb]

anything that moves VR forward in DCS is a win, win, win!

Matt, have you heard about the somewhat common IMU alignment problem that causes Rift users to see a perpetually tilted horizon? You should consider adding the ability to manually bias tracking tilt if the SDK allows it. In most VR experiences it matters only a little, but in flight sims where one naturally visually levels the horizon, it can be a real pain. Thanks for the preview.
