Throttle stuck after removing/replacing pimax headset

[twells555]

Hi All,

 

I'm using the Pimax5K+ with pitool rev .112 and the headset firmware update that came with the pitool update. I use the Kegatis Vr shader mod and everything runs very smooth with very little ground jitter...most of the time.

 

A problem I am having is that I can fly around for hours with no problem, but often when I land if I take the headset off to take care of some immersion breaking emergency, when I put the headset back on again my throttles will no longer move and the buttons are often not responsive. When it happens, if I bring up the target utilities and test the joystick and buttons, everything is working at it should. Stopping and restarting the target script does not help, it seems to be a headset issue...or a dcs issue, or both or steam(?)...not sure which...but the only thing that gets it working again is restarting dcsworld....now there's an immersion breaker! When it occurs, everything else is normal in Vr, just that the Throttles don't move.

 

I have tried reinstalling dcs (beta), running with just dcsworld bindings to eliminate target scripting, turning off voiceattack and the few mods I use and nothing has made any difference so far. I used the rift for a long time and never had an issue like this, so I'm leaning towards a pimax or steam issue more than a dcsworld issue right now...but I am scratching my head on this one...

 

So I'm wondering if anybody else is having this issue and maybe found a cause for it? Also, does anyone know dcsworld can be run with the oculus software and the pimax? That would eliminate one more possibility....

 

thank you for making it this far...
