Tinkickef Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) I know of a few on here with this issue. I have it too. Starts after about half an hour's use and manifests itself when looking over my right shoulder. I suddenly find myself about 3ft shorter and turning forwards again, find I am looking up at the panel. After 10 seconds or so, it will regain control of the tracking, I grow back to my normal height and I am peering through the HUD again. As time passes it gets more and more frequent. Then I found one of my sensors was very warm to the touch, while the other was cool..... I always have a fan blowing air at my headset to keep things cool and fog free in there, so I moved the sensor into the air stream to see what would happen if I air cooled it..... 90 minute mission in the Hornet on PG map. Not a single tracking issue. It appears forced air cooling of the hot sensor is the solution. If one of yours feels warm to the touch, try it out.

dburne Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Sounds like you may have a bad sensor. Is your Rift still under warranty?

Tinkickef Posted November 12, 2018 Author Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Sounds like you may have a bad sensor. Is your Rift still under warranty? Not anymore, it was a 2016 original pre order (that wait was interminable). I think even my bought separately touch controllers with the second sensor are out of warranty now. The sensor that is warm was the original and I have had this glitch since Rift was new.
