Controllers in VR

[Rex854Warrior]

Hello,

 

I just noticed that for the past few months, ED has been working on adding VR controller support in DCS. So tonight I tested it and i'm sure it's WIP but I have a few bugs to report about it and a few suggestions.

 

 

First, the controller action is left click only it appears, so sometimes if you click on a switch you'll never be able to put it back in it's original place because you don't have a right click. EDIT : Figured it out, palm up if left click (green laser), palm down (blue laser) is right click. It's a bit clunky though and doesn't always correspond to how the switches move.

 

 

Second, when I reach for a button, if my controller goes forward, the switch moves back and when my controller is moving backwards the switch moves to the front position, looks like this should be the other way around.

 

Also regarding physical interaction with the cockpit, there should be some delay or something along those line after you hit a switch because very oftenly I just bump on the hitbox again after pressing a switch, making it sometimes really hard to make it stay where you want to.

 

 

Third is more of a suggestion but it would be nice to have options to switch left and right hand controls (left hand is for escape and reseting the view, right is for zoom and something else).

 

Could also be nice to have an option to set which hand you are primarely using as with both controllers powered on the one that has physical interaction without pressing the trigger is the right hand by default.

 

And lastly I think an option to make the controllers disappear when they are not being used would be really nice as I put them on my desk and they are very much in the way of the cockpit.

 

 

Anyways, ED I hope you can fix at least the issues, i'm fine with the rest, it's really a great feature, thank you very much :).

 

Regards,

Rex.

Hi

 

 

There is a new single touch option in Oculus Controllers. The Index finger when it touches a switch it will actuate on that specific switch.

 

 

 

Since you cannot fly the plane using the Touch controller only, i got to put the controller away when not using it. The issue is that this sometimes touches a switch. I likes the previous operation more of having to click the three finger button which will bring up the laser and then the trigger button to activate the switch action.

 

 

Once we have the full controller with the hands, no more hardware needed, this feature will be nice.
