DCS, VR, and low-positioned switches!


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi all! Low-positioned switches in each cockpit have always been quite hard to "click" in VR, because:

 

1. the mouse doesn't get past the 3/4 line of the vision when loocking at bottom,

 

2. even at the low region where the cursor is located, the "clicks" aren't registered (with various headsets: Oculus Rift, Vive, Pimax 5k+, Pimax 8kx... strictly identical problem...despite the large FOV of the 2 latest)

 

....so, only taking curious and unpleasant positions with head/body to center the FOV on the low switches / or even moving the headset with the hand, allows to "click" the embarrasingly low switch.... :(

 

Does anybody has find some work-around?

Have you tried moving the start menu bar to the side of the screen, so it doesn't pop up (if you have autohide feature on)? I personally do this (dragging the start menu to the side) prior to launching DCS - don't have any issues getting to switches that are located aft in the cockpit.

 

Cheers,
