I was looking for "Can't be done yet because X but some dev said that a cool new fix was in the works".  

Varjo indicated they were aware of the issue but I didn't know who said that.

I'm hoping the "cool new fix" not only negates the need for the WMR tool but also adds a scaling function to headset movement, basically integrating VRNeckSafer into the app itself..

Hello everyone For those of you having problems with windows mixed reality and cross eyes the team have enabled a debug tool for the next update.

 

Screen_190925_105518.thumb.jpg.493f4a6e470844f0383da51aac88bf83.jpg

To enable you will need to add this line to your autoexec.cfg

 

force_cross_eye_recovery_tool = true

 

 

The autoexec.cfg can be found here C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config

 

If you do not have one create one using notepad++ and save as .cfg Once enabled the window will appear when you start DCS in VR then adjust to your own preference and click save and close. this will place a VR preference file for your headset in your saved games DCS folder.

The debug window will not return unless you remove this file from your saved games if you wish to adjust again. We hope this will help some of you using windows mixed reality who are experiencing problem with miss alignment. Thank you.

 

 

 

Can anyone help me here?? I've done exactly this, but I'm not getting a debug window. I've searched for anything close to "HMD.lua" and removed it from the folders, still nothing. What am I doing wrong? (I have an HP Reverb G2 with the cross-eyed issue...)

Hi

are you sure you have created the autoexec.cfg correctly ?

I have attached one below

place it here C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config

I can't get the debug window to show up either. I had previously used this to swap top/bottom of both lenses of my Aero to help in distortion. Today's update to the Aero provided some fixes for distortion and now looks off in my headset. I can't get the debug to show up to swap lenses back? Tried deleting the line in my autoexec.cfg that did not help.

check you dont already have a saved vr device profile in the saved games dcs folder, if you do delete it, the tool will work again.

if you already have a file it will be named after your headset. 

In the example here it was my old dell visor. If you dont have a file it should work when you have the autoexec in place. 

What headset do you have?

Varjo Aero.

I had used it previously to flip the top/bottom lenses to correct for distortion. Varjo issued an update today to software/firmware to correct distortions, so I need to be able to swap the top/bottom lenses back to where they were originally but can't get debug tool to show up in image to be able to do so. Currently image is way distorted now for me.

Would a repair of DCS swap those lenses back to original position? Currently DCS is now unplayable for me as I can't seem to find a way to get those lenses swapped back to original state.

Very much so.  Personnally I never had any big distortion issues but none whatsoever now 🙂 (and I am not blind!)

Ok that worked a charm, lenses back to original setting and absolutely zero distortion in DCS in menus or gameplay.

Not only that but seems I gained some in the performance department as well with today's Aero update from Varjo.

Cool!  I still needed to re-swap top/bottom on my side

Varjo has done an incredible job with today's update. Have tested now with my three flight sims, working great!

I was a little worried about DCS but once I successfully made the lens swap back to original position it became perfect as well.

Thanks so much for this, not entirely sure what I did but tweaking the sliders has made a huge improvement! Peripheral vision on instrument scans is way clearer. Much appreciated

Is there any way to accurately set this without just mashing the buttons or guessing values?

Whenever I have VR  zoom enabled, especially at the higher zoom level, I feel a little fish-eye/offset? and generally have to close one eye. I tried playing with the swap top/bottom and left/right and just can't get it to feel "right" -- this is on a Reverb G1. I am using OpenComposite (not SteamVR).

as well, any overlays like the WMR home menu/screen, or the OpenXR tools overlay feel really weird, like I'm crosseyed trying to view the menu vs the world.

All you should have needed to do is swap top/bottom of both lenses and then save.

Zoom is always going to look off like that, it is just a downside to the current zoom we have. What counts is how it looks in normal view.

hey

Just one question.

i own a g2 and of course i use the crosseye tool to set up my vision correctly in the headset. i swap top and bottom on each lense (as noted on many advices). so i can FEEL my vision is less painful but i was wondering is there was a software or anything else that help you to fine tune your vision. something you can visualize (lines or whatever) instead of just an impression like "i feel it is good now". and also sometimes i feel my left eye need a little more adjustment but i dont know how to adjust it (increase/decrease which value etc....)

thanks for your feedback

Trying to solve the misaligned eyes -issue by using the debug tool provided gave rather good results but not perfect when simply copying the settings of one eye over to the other and saving the conf file.

 

 

I think that I found the solution / bug (?) at least in my case after trying to figure out what exactly to tune in order to make things truly match. Now I have minimal eye strain and practically no need to adjust the IPD setting in DCS VR options menu.

 

 

 

The best values I found by experimenting are reached simply by just resetting to defaults and swapping the top/bottom screen edge values for both eyes. After that the DCS display matches perfectly with the SteamVR and overlay displays. Note that the perfect matching requires for me that the forced IPD adjustment is clicked off in DCS VR options.

 

 

See attached screenshot. Note that this is for Valve Index.

 

 

Apparently the calibration values carried by the headset are reported with vertical limits in reversed order (or DCS reads them reversed). This might vary from headset model to another, as many people have no issues with misalignment. Alternatively, maybe only some of the headsets have sufficiently asymmetric calibration that it gets messed up noticeably. (I'm just speculating here.)

 

 

 

In case of remaining IPD mismatch, further tweaking may be possible by changing both DCS IPD setting and the screen edge values synchronously (or maybe not). Or perhaps something in steamvr. I did not pursue this further as I'm within 1mm of the DCS default IPD of 70mm.

 

 

 

My current good configuration was found and verified by turning on the steamvr boundary (i.e. chaperone) and setting the view centerpoint / seat position so that the chaperone seems to be sitting on some detailed feature of the cockpit. The chaperone can be forced on at: SteamVR menu - Developer - Debug Commands - collision_bounds_toggle. Now, if the configuration is correct, the chaperone lines crossing the cockpit dial remain accurately fixed on top of each other in any position, rotation or tilt of head while wearing the headset. Even a small miscalibration can be perceived by looking e.g. at a cockpit dial down and to the side and turning and tilting the head around as in some head orientations the relative positions of the cockpit dial and chaperone lines appear to be different from other head orientations or positions. When config is good, changing head orientation causes no shift in the apparent relative positions of cockpit dials and chaperone lines.

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

EDIT:

Late note for anyone who found this post by googling etc. The short version is below:

 

All I'm doing nowadays is the following. First, I use the cross-eye tool (add the line in the above post to autoexec.cfg in Saved Games\DCS\Config), then click "SWAP TOP AND BTM" on both left and right, and then click to save the config file. Now DCS will not ask for it again.

 

Second, I've adjusted the IPD to match my eye distance in real life in SteamVR's settings in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config\steamvr.settings (default location).

Of course this second part does not work if you don't use SteamVR. In any case, the line to change is near bottom:

 

"ipdOffset" : -0.0064999999999999997,

 

The value is difference of your IPD to 63mm in units of meters. E.g., in my case my real IPD is 69.5mm which is 6.5mm = 0.0065m more than the default (63mm = 0.0063m) so I enter the figure -0.0065 (larger -> negative value) here. Someone with 61mm real life IPD would enter the number 0.002. Steam automatically rounds the value to some multiple of something, it does not matter (that's why so many figures "9" in there).

 

At least in my case everything matches after that and I can keep the custom IPD option in DCS options off.

Im using Samsung Odyssey + HMD, and WMR Debug tool since DCS 2.7.11.21408.1 (17.03.2022 - Apache relise) my setup file, with suposly HMD brand  in it, was named:

HP Reverb Virtual Reality Headset G20.lua

And after last update DCS 2.7.12.23362 (28.04.2022) name is:

Oculus Rift CV1.lua

I never use/connect/had any other VR googles than my Samsungs Odyssey +.

 

Attaching files after swiching both eyes with "swap TOP and Bottom" if maybe it helps.

I think he covered it in this paragraph..

“The chaperone can be forced on at: SteamVR menu - Developer - Debug Commands - collision_bounds_toggle.

makes me  a little disappointed because I’m using OpenXR and don’t have this feature to use..  maybe if I set the alignment in steamVR it’ll carry over? I don’t know of a similar OpenXR function.
