Necksafer

[PLUTON]

Now NeckSafer has been working since
that I downloaded the latest version.
not easy to calibrate (especially when you don't speak English) but I was able to get a semblance of correct adjustment. But I have the impression that the rotation movement is not fluid until the end.
Someone would be kind enough to meter here their NeckSafer settings
so that I can get an idea of how to make the adjustments??
Thanks in advance

OpenXR (+ OpenXR Toolkit) + XRNeckSafer + Oculus Link (or Air Link) -> these work together.

Thank you, But for OpenXR I dont have to install something, it comes with the Oculus right? I Only need to install the Toolkit and NechSafer?

XRNeckSafer works with games that use OpenComposite OpenXR. Native OpenXR mode are not working yet. (note from the author  NechSafer).

First time user looking for some help to resolve an issue.  I've installed Beta5a, DCS OpenBeta Standalone, HP Reverb G2.  I was able to setup manual rotation buttons but when I'm in DCS and I engage NS the view rotates but there is a wide vertical black stripe in the middle of the view.  I also tried the autorotation smooth and same issue - large black vertical stripe.  As per install instructions I verified that NS is included in the XR API Layer list.  Any ideas on how to go about fixing the issue?  Thanks

After latest DCS update Necksafer no longer functions with native DCS openxr support.  Tried reinstalling but no joy.  Any advice on how to get it to work with native DCS openxr support?

Yup, did all of that still can't get it to function properly.  It does change the view but it's not correct.

i guess i'm using the dcs_updater.exe so it's working?

@echo off
cd C:\Program Files\XRNeckSafer
start XRNeckSaferApp.exe
cd F:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin
f:
start DCS_updater.exe
exit

XRNS is working great with Oculus Rift.  Is there anyway to keep the changes made to the Smooth Autorotation Start At and Amplify values for both Yaw and Pitch?  Have to manually change each time XRNS is started.  Tried changing the values in the XRNeckSafer.cfg file but it still reverts back to the Default values.

I tried this today auto rotation. Should my view change when I go past a certain point . I don't see difference in view . Do I need to add left and right HOTAS buttons or can I just turn my head at 45% and get extra 45 % .

Try clicking on the button allocation and then save settings. This works for me. There might be a simpler way but I could not see anything obvious.

Using the "Smooth" setting, it should start at the degree setting you put in "Start at" and rotate the number of degrees you set in "Amplify by". so if both are at 45 degrees it should kick on when you turn your head 45 degrees and then add another 45 degrees. I set Autorotation Off, and then assign a hat to add 80 degrees to my L/R views, and 30 degrees to my UP view.. I never liked the auto, made me woozy..

Not sure why its doing that, but I would try changing the XRNeckSafer.cfg file to Read-Only and see if it works..
