I don't know what pimax does with the hand tracking, pretty sure it's ultraleap hardware but I don't know what software it's running on. Have you tried with the ultraleap Gemini drivers?

It uses Ultraleap. I have Gemini and updated to 5.17 last night but it might have been worse than 5.16.

Is anyone using an ultraleap with the latest beta (48335)?  When I turn on openxr in the ultraleap control panel I cannot get DCS to start in VR.

I can get it to work in the stable version, but only by using the Special tab.  Nothing works if I try and enable it in the VR tab instead.

I had to copy the leapc.dll to DCS in order for it to work.

Hello !

@Hammer3246 where do you find this leapc.dll and where do you install in DCS ?

I've got the same issue yersterday with my crystal and the latest Gemini driver. Impossible to launch DCS in VR anymore (after DCS cleanup & repair + uninstall Leapmotion, drivers, via Opencomposite, via SteamVR ...)

 

Thanks in advance

[Hammer3246]

Its in your ultraleap dir,  just copy it to your DCS bin or bin-mt folder.

DCS in VR working again and possible to use the handtracking via the DCS/VR Tab

There are two LeapC.dll in the UltraLeap installation folder.

One in ...Ultraleap\LeapSDK\lib\x64

and one in ...Ultraleap\OpenXR

And they are two different versions!!!

The most recent is the one in lib\x64...

Which one to copy in DCS?

[Max57]

Hi,

I've used theOpenXR one. And saved the DCS original version before of course

[fabio.dangelo]

I deleted the DLL from the DCS folder...

Leap support works equally well

[Morphine]

Is it possible to use the Leap "hands" to just control the "laser pointer" without activating the "touch" controls (and clicking buttons using left and right mouse)? It currently looks like you either enable both pointers and touch or neither. I'd like to try to use my left hand as a mouse while clicking buttons using mapped HOTAS buttons. I get too many unintended switch activations with touch enabled.

[fabio.dangelo]

don t ask me  why but problem reentry....

I reinstalled the Gemini drivers (same version) and everything worked again.

with the last update the leap support broke!!!

Now the selection in the VR tab(no longer has the ultraleap logo in the lower right corner) and in the menu there are three items, 

Nothing

Controller

Tracker

Selecting the tracker causes DCS to crash.

If I select ultraleap from the SPECIAL TAB it works nworse than usual.

Give me the latest version again please!!!  

 

I have these same options as well but selecting Tracker works for me (doesn't crash) and utilizes the Leap hands as controllers.

Hi,

I have a Quest 2 & installed my Leap Motion. Seems to work in cockpit in that i can see & control my hands, but can't click on anything. On the Viper's ICP the fingers just pass through the buttons eg.

Any fix for that? Or am i just expecting too much?

You must activate Leap Motion in the VR tap. And "use controller" must not be activated.
There must be no checkmark anywhere
(I'm not in DCS right now)

[edmuss]

Also ensure that touch is enabled, it's possible to have it disabled in which case you can't flick any switches.

Thanks, got it to work now. Is there a good way to tweak the xyz offsets? Seems a bit random atm. Also, can the active area of the fingertip be reduced, or shown on screen somehow? I'm having troubles pushing the button i want?

[Supersheep]

Is there by now a way to use Leap Motion in 2D mode, not just in VR? 

I don't do VR, and while the controller works if I force DCS into VR mode, that's obviously not entirely ideal for actual use.

If there's a mod/workaround (in lack of official 2D support) that'd be most excellent.

In the VR tab you have sliders with which you can set xyz
There is no way to limit the click space. But it's a matter of getting used to it and training

@BIGNEWY can you report to the team that the leap dll file that is being packaged with DCS is causing failure to start in DCS again. Need to rename or delete it out of the mt-bin folder in order to start up VR.

I've noticed recently that the leap motion tracking has been causing regular CPU spikes which are causing performance to momentarily drop and cause stutter when flying heavier missions (pretense syria modern specifically).  I've only really noticed these in the last week or so.  Will be flying along at >90fps but every 5 seconds or so the CPU spikes on main thread and fps dips to 85 for half a second or so causing a bit of a hitch.

Setting the leap tracking service to low priority (from high) and affinity to cores 14&15 (DCS has no affinity set) seems to eliminate this without any noticeable detriment to the tracking, can anyone corroborate?

edit: have carried out further testing and low priority with default core affinity is sufficient to stop the hitching, I've reached out to ultraleap to see if there's any way to automatically manipulate the tracking service priority
