HP Reverb G2 permanently centered

[Buzzer1977]

I've got a problem with the G2 since yesterday, that the pilots head is always centered in the cockpit. If i lean forward to have a closer look at the gauges they move away. Until yesterday i could even look outside the canopy, now i can't even look at the gauges.

When that happens to me, it's the WMR portal sitting on the calibration screen (look side-to-side and look at floor). If you load into just the WMR portal (no SteamVR, no DCS), do you see the apartment or that calibration screen?

It can also happen intermittently if the headset loses inside-out tracking. Mostly what helps is covering both the front, and side camera's temporarily with your hands (1 or 2 seconds) and then the HMD will try to calibrate it's own sensors again.

 

I personally got better results after installing another light source (with incandescent light preferably) in my game room. If the light is too white or bright it can interfere with the HMD tracking camera's.

 

It's not DCS specific though, more a WMR "issue"

Could reproduce it. Error happens when the room is too dark. I turned on the lights, recalibrated and it worked.
