The head through the canopy

[jef32]

Hi

 

 

Is it a way to prevent the head to pass through the canopy, when bending on left or right with VR devices or TrackIR ?

[Gierasimov]

I use TrIR5 and never seen this

[jef32]

With VR I pass through the canopy. I'll do a screen.

TrackIR has a limited view/deplacement area, VR not.

Nothing you can do... other than creating your own physical boundaries ;)

 

I prefer it this way...

Keeping you attached to the physical movement is what prevents motion sickness.. once you detach from it, i.e stop the movement on a virtual berrier, it might make a mess...

But ED can surely do something.

I dunno. I like to stand up while in the plane, look down at the nose, turn around 180, check my 6 from time to time, make sure the weapons are there, stretch a little bit on those long flights ;).

[msalama]

Nah. On long flights, I'm finding I'm always having to take a little wee outta da window and that goes best when I'm standing. Don't fix a thing!

Far easier for you to do something . Slap yourself upside the head every time it goes out the canopy . If you do it well , problem solved in no time :)

If you limit the VR view what you’ll see in the sim is the cockpit moving with your head as you bang into it. That can be sickening or disorienting.

[Harlikwin]

Yeah this is seriously a non issue unless you make it one. ED has better things to do with their time. Plus you can do dumb things when you want to.

I completely concur with the other voices here when we say that artificially restricting head movement in VR is a VERY BAD THING.

 

My feelings on this are very strong, to the point that whenever I see a thread made requesting this I wince, and hope the devs don't see it as a good idea/community request.

 

At best it is very annoying and completely immersion breaking (and yes, much more than being able to move your head outside of the canopy). At worst...keep a bucket handy!

 

The 'other' combat flight sim with VR support has this as a 'feature' - I don't fly any servers with it activated. I am grateful that it's an optional tickbox for SP. Op. Go try it, and feel for yourself.

 

I also agree that moving your view outside the canopy can feel 'wrong' if you go out of your way to exceed the canopy glass. Do you know how I remedy this? - Exercise restraint and self control. Or open the canopy 1st.

I use a TrackIR and in sims where I can move my head through objects like the canopy I’ve just set my sensitivity to restrict this motion.
