My spam folder didn’t contain anything. Guess it means my pre-order didn’t go through.

Hey TimberWolf,

DM your Name or email address and I will check the pre-orders.

Nothing on my end yet.

Not even sure how to pull up the pre-order I did on the site.

 

Hey dburne,
We got your pre-order on 02/01/21
Thanks

Miles do you mean the regular mouse cursor when moving the mouse? If so yes

Hey Dutch,
Are you on discord, it's easier to troubleshoot on there. My first guess would be a bad calibration or IR interference. Be sure the other FCU is not visible during calibration.

Let me check and get back to you

Update: 

We are starting to ship v2 and are ramping up production slowly. Those of you on FireCats list can now just submit your order anytime using the pre-order form on the PointCTRL website. You will keep your place in line, and when batches are ready to shi,p the lowest numbers will ship first.

I noticed a few of you already used the form before I was done with it. The good news is, the sorting worked perfect by list number. I added a few things, mostly just a Basic and Advanced kits to make things easier to order and a bit of a discount. If you want to update your order just resubmit it and I will delete the old one.
 

If the order form is not clear, please let me know. I can make things overly complicated sometimes. You may have to zoom in a bit to read some of the pics. We will have a regular online store as soon as we are through the pre-orders, and if there is still interest.

 

Thanks everyone for your continued patience.

Excellent! I preordered back in January and received the confirmation email... Do I need to update the order form? Sorry, not clear to me (must had missed a post or something...)

Numers are only for FireCat´s list, the previous way to preorder before the website filling form was released.

Ok, preordered mine yesterday.

from what I understand, I don't have to appear on the FireCat's list, but the confirmation email i've already received is enough, is that correct?

Hi Draken, Your good. Some new items have been added to the Pre-Order form on the website, such as the magnetic chargers, which I highly recommend.

 

For now, please do not submit a new pre-order form until you have received your original invoice. Then you can take a look and see if you want to change anything. There will be a field to check if you are updating a pre order form. 
Thanks

Hey TimberWolf,
Yes and your good, received on 11/24/20, HP Reverb mount. You were one of the first ones to submit when the confirmation email was bugged.

Hi Mower, 

April is probably a reasonable guess.
Thanks for your patience

Hello Topo,

As Ed McMahon used to say to... "You are correct Sir"!

Hey are you a Cartographer?

More or less;

I do topographic surveys, in the last few years with UAV's also.

Preorder sent Miles… your gizmos look pretty much perfect! Can’t wait to see them.

Hey Jim,

Thanks, PointCTRL is far from perfect, but it is an effective solution right now for our needs in DCS. I am sure someone much smarter than me will come out with something better soon. PointCTRL is more of a hobby for me and I am always improving it. As soon as I am caught up with orders I am going to focus on firmware integration with VR Headset SDKs. It won't require a hardware upgrade, just firmware and software download.

Thanks,

Miles

Hi guys,

 

I just pre-ordered an advanced kit.  Just received an confirmation email without any data related with my Paypal account or something.  How you guys are able to send me a Paypal money request without my paypal account data?  

 

I put my DCS name (etundidor) in observations, could you please let me know if is everything ok with that pre-order?

 

Best,

[RogueSqdn]

The PayPal request will just get sent to whatever email address you provide on the preorder form.

Thank you for the clarification Rogue!

 

Cheers,

This is the new HMS mount that v2 is shipping with. It should reduce the reduce the broken USB connectors if the plug gets accidentally grabbed  or pulled.

Looking good Miles 

although, if handled with care, v1 was also great 

 

 

Sorry if this was posted already in this thread (haven't checked it for a while), but someone on another forum notified me on a solution to the annoying multiple virtual monitors, that Windows 10 ever so kindly introduced to us about a year ago...

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/enthusiast-guide/using-microsoft-edge#monitor-and-input-handling-issues

 

It does concern some reg editing, but it's nothing fancy.

The guy posting the link said it may even gain you some single digit fps.

 

Can't say I noticed better framerates, but my super annoying virtual monitors are gone!

Yep I consider this regedit a must for the Reverb.

I preordered my pointctrl through the website back in december, received confirmation email, then nothing since then. How can I know my preorder is on the list? Thanks.

Hi,

from what I understand, the confirmation email is enough, there is no need to appear on the FireCat's list.

Ciao,

da cosa ho capito, da una certa data in poi i preordini si fanno solo dal sito, e quindi non si compare più nella lista in questo thread.

[w00k]

I have pre-ordered the V2, really looking forward to receiving it, whenever that may be! Quick question, and apologies if this has been asked already, does head movements still interfere with cursor movements when using PointCTRL in VR?

[at0m]

Yeah me too, confirmation email received straight away. Thanks!
