Helmet sun visor not compatible with VR

[henhag]

The helmet sun visor (sun glass on/off, default key: G) is a very useful feature for bright Nevada days, but it doesn't work correctly when you're flying in VR...

From what I see on the screenshot (and inside the HMD), enlarging the tinted area might already fix the problem :)

 

DCS 2.2.0.12448 with deferred shading enabled + Oculus VR

 

Edit 12/31/17: The tinted rectangle is not moving with the VR headtracking, so this might be a more complicated issue :/

Was going to report the same thing. Cheers

The Mirage used to have the exact same issue. It took until the AV-8B release to have it fixed...

The modification nrgy posted looks very useful, but it is still just a mod :(

I'd prefer a sun visor that is included in the module and 100% MP compatible :thumbup:

I was about to post this bug and see that it has been reported already. This is a big issue in 2.5. Running deferred shading means having to have a very bright exterior to see the gauges easily. The visor would really help in VR.

Hmmm.. Any way to remove the Mirage sunvisor data and add it to the Sa342 in the short term?

 

Would be nice if Polychop acknowledged this..

Thanks Pat.

DCS 2.5.1 OpenBeta - sunglasses are still incompatible with VR :(

*push*

Still an issue in 2.5.3.23954 (Nov 09 2018)

 

 

Having a VR compatible sun visor would be awesome..

It's easily one of the best "little features" in RAZBAMs Harrier and Mirage.. extremely useful for Persian Gulf and NTTR where the sand is just too bright sometimes

How soon might that be?

Hello you nice devs. Unfortunately the problem still exists with the visor! It's not the most pressing problem, but it's been around for years. We recently carried out our mission in a wonderful winter landscape and the sun on the snow was very dazzling. Than the visor down ... and it was ugly. Not worthy of your gazelle. It would be nice if that could be adjusted. While I am talking about winter, have you already thought about whether a heating unit will be integrated later? Thank you.
