My VR-seat

[dbpetrol]

Compact seat made of a dining chair with legs cut off to make it lower. Throttle and mousepad can be folded for easy storage. Only one MFD but with pinkyswitch held in (modifier in DCS) I can press the buttons on the other MFD. May mount the other MFD on the mousepad. Under the seat is a USB-hub = just one cable to the computer :thumbup:

 

When in VR i can look at the throttle or stick in DCS and it's in the right position and easy to find.

Clever little setup :thumbup:

How is hitting that MFD in the blind? Been thinking about getting one myself.

It's "OK". It takes some time to get used to it. I don't use it very often. I have also set up my mic-button on the throttle to control the mouse:

 

center press - center mouse (script in target)

up - left click

down - right click

fwd - scroll up

aft - scroll down

 

This way it's very easy to just look at a MFD-button (or any button) in VR and press it, or a rotary and turn it. I check the "Use mouse" box in "VR" menu in DCS so I can use the mouse if I need to click a button in an odd location.

Nice setup, quick question on your mouse assignments. When you hold the controls foreward/aft do you have to keep clicking to get the rotaries to turn or do they turn just by holding the control in the forward (or rear) posistion?

 

Hope that makes sense!

It makes sense because I had the problem with clicking when assigning the buttons in DCS. If you assign in a target script you can hold the buttons and it keeps rotating. You can even change how fast you want it to turn by changing the numbers in the script. Just assign any button to the mouse z axis :thumbup:

 

Example:

MapKey(&Throttle, MSL, AXIS(MOUSE_Z_AXIS, -2, 20));

MapKey(&Throttle, MSR, AXIS(MOUSE_Z_AXIS, 2, 20));

Thanks, unfortunately I don't use Target and have no clue how to use it.
