ODYSSEY Samsung issue with Configuration

[ESAc_matador]

hello Fellows.

 

I have a problem that is very unconfortable.

 

When i use the Samsung Odyssey, first of all, i center it, and everything its ok. It works with the 6 axis. But, sometimes, when i look to a extreme position, suddely, it goes to 3 axis.

 

This means, that i cant approach to the panels or go lateral... if i try to look closer an MFD, al the cockpit goes aways and i can only move the 3 axis.

 

Looks like when in Trackir you go off the boundaries... how can i solve it??

 

Thank you!

This is common to my O+ too. This I believe is a loss of tracking issue.

Mostimes I recalibrate by going to window mix reality and do a re-centering.

In my case I think it maybe due to the fact that my chair position is close to wall on my right hand side.

 

 

 

Doing re-centering calibrate while in game is the way I get around it for now. Will be glad to know other solutions too.

I read something today.

 

I use to fly at nigth with ligths off.... Seems that that is the problem.

 

I tried during day and it was ok.

Yeah, the camara's need light to be able to determine 6dof

I have a Samsung Odyssey headset as well, when that happens to me I usually move quickly left and right and stick my head through the virtual canopy and that does the trick to break the cockpit from moving away from my head movements.

 

 

 

I think good room lighting helps to maintain proper headset calibration.

I frequently have this problem because WMR randomly and often forgets my room boundaries. I have to clear the environment data and set up my room boundaries again to get rid of these tracking issues.

I have been experimenting and have solved the issue for myself (I've got an original Samsung Odyssey WMR headset)...

 

Before running DCS I always re-calibrate for a seated position.  I keep the headset at my sternum pointed toward the flight sim monitor, and move as far away from the monitor as possible before clicking "center".  I think it helps the cameras inside the headset to capture a bigger image, so it has more objects to reference, to help maintain proper calibration.

 

My desk light is super bright and aim-able and about 4 feet from my flight sim monitor.  I aim my desk light toward the flight sim monitor, to create more contrast, which I believe helps the headset cameras provide proper alignment.

 

Looking toward the ceiling briefly, or pushing the "VR center" button sometimes works to restore proper headset calibration while flying a mission.  What really seems to help is briefly looking directly at my bright desk light and then back toward my flight sim computer.
