I assume you're tried going into Mixed Reality settings -> Environment and done a "clear environment data" ?

That solved the problem when I've had it in the past.

I have experienced that problem a couple of times (when changing headset and computer) during my use of it. I can’t say exactly how it works but my fix as I remember it has been under options and the settings for compensating for standing or seated(?)  (I am not in front of the app right now) . Maybe it is linked to how my VR-room setup is done and where the center is for the headset.  After some trial and error I get it to stop floating me above the canopy after each turn.  

Thanks Canard.  I've tried that as well, in both of the settings in VRNecksafer as well as in SteamVR.  It's too bad that there isn't a baked in solution from ED for this for VR users.

I have tried everything that I can think of, including every combination of WMR and StreamVR beta / non-beta, etc.  I've seen a handful of people with G2 + WMR that have this issue and since I had it working with that same combo, but on my old rig, I think there is something environmental with this.  It would be great if the developer could provide a fix, but I think there is something, maybe some conflicting software, driver or config that is the root cause of this since it's working fine for most people.  It's a head scratcher, for sure.

VrNeckSaver is great, it works. Thanks to the developer(s).

But for me, it saves your neck only to 50%.
Why ?
Situation: In a full clickable Cockpit (under VR)  many switches you want to control in a birds "Cold and Dark State" are not reachable by looking at them in a centerview position. (Sorry for my bad english..).
VrNeckSaver helps by YAW-Values, but I miss a configureable negative Pitchvalue to reach those switches who are aligned behind your 3 / 9 Clock position. My wish - a feature that temporary  (controlled by a switch)  add a "negativ" Pitch value to the real Vieving position of the headset, so to do the startup procedure without pain.

Is there an alternative to this tool. Its so frustrating some that is so needed has failed.  I'm guessing the developer has abandon the project. I tried open track but it jacks up the z axis and things get jittery. 

[speed-of-heat]

it works fine. It's only designed to work in VR, so i dont think OpenTrack was part of the design consideration?

please, can you point or make a screenshot of the params in your necksafer main configurarion? just for use it well

[speed-of-heat]

i just use the defaults ?

[zildac]

Never tried this when I was running SVR mainly due to what appeared to be a myriad of config options, but I think I'll give the OXR version a shot with defaults now

Great version!!! Works fine in DCS and IL-2 !!!

[Kirk66]

Need some help please. Trying to setup VRNecksafer for non-Steam DCS, Rift S. I have no trouble setting up VRNS in IL-2 GB and it works great, but cannot get the manual rotation to work when I launch DCS in VR. I have SteamVR running, Oculus running, DCS starts and works in my Rift S, but no rotation when I command via HOTAS buttons.

I have app mode set to BACKGROUND, game mode to AUTO, position compensation to IN SEATED MODE, and manual rotation selected with buttons set for VR center and L/R rotation.

Is the sequence of activation important?

Cheers,

Vulture

I'm new to VRNS.  I am using a G2 Reverb and need to view my six without twisting my chair (Joystick between my legs).  Auto is selected under the option tab.  Here are my settings:

Edit:  Got it sorted.

Hey @Drac it wasn't really clear what the problem was, but, glad you got it sorted, what was your solution?

My solution was to "remove" all data in the box (except the first row) and made adjustments to the first row only. I am not able to twist in my chair since I have my stick between my legs.  Also, I am not able to turn my head that far in either direction.  But once I got the proper numbers in, all is good now.

[speed-of-heat]

Thanks for sharing the body of knowledge is really useful to grow, lots of people have problems, its great to hear what the solution to some of them are too : )

Has anyone been able to get this to work with a Quest 2?  I have it working with MSFS and IL2....but have not been able to get it to work with DCS standalone.  I ahve tried just about everything...but no dice.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

I am able to make it work with Quest2, but not Pico 4. Both are using OpenCompsite + OpenXR Toolkit. The later uses VD without any SteamVR. The XRNS (latest beta 4a) panel keeps saying "HMD yaw: (not centered in game yet) even though I was in the cockpit. Dunno why.

Edit: I did get this running on the Pico with OpenXR, apologies for my previous comment

Nope, Pico4 runs OpenXR + OpenComposite just right, no SteamVR needed. See:

I can now swap between Quesst2 and Pico4 just by changing the cable.

Thanks, I have it installed, however, some queries. It has made a desktop shortcut, which when I run, gives me a tiny gui box, so small that all the boxes and options are all on top of each other. i have tried stretching it in the normal fashion but it wont get bigger.....and I cant find the install folder to check the documentation / instructions either......

I'm actually still using XRNecksafer Beta3, which doesn't have an installer, just runs from wherever you put it and has a .cfg file in that folder.

You could try asking the developer on t'other sim forum.. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/67985-simple-tool-to-check-your-six

Would you happen to have Windows display scale set particul;arly high ? like > 170% That can seriously shrink an app's gui unless the developer has coded for it.
