RTS354 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Every time that I launch DCS in VR mode, the windows mixed reality will not allow me to use the cursor in DCS World. I tried WIN + Y, and that doesn't work. Does anyone have a solution to this issues. This is really pissing me off big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTS354 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yes. If I take the headset off the mouse works, but when I put the headset on, the mouse doesn't work even after trying the WIN + Y key press several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTS354 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yes, I have the Win + Y set which is the default setting. So as of right now, I cannot play DCS in VR, unless I revert back to my Valve Index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTS354 Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thanks for the tips. I finally got it to work. I had to set the DCS VR mode to restrict the mouse cursor to DCS windows and switch the Mixed reality mode from "Automatically switch using headset sensor" to "Manually switch using Windows Logo key + Y". For some reason, the mix reality screen was telling me that I could switch by pressing the Win + Y keys, but it was not setup in the settings to do this? Anyway, I also found another issue with the Reverb G2, in that you MUST make sure that your area is well lid, or the tracking becomes jittery. So normally I do not have my desk lamp on, but to use the reverb G2, I will now have to ensure that my play area is well lid, or tracking suffers. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Brainfreeze Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 My G2 does need much light at all. Total darkness won't do it of course (like most other headsets I believe) but there is no need for floodlights either. BTW, I do not tick the 'vr to use mouse'. This way you get a dot where you are looking and can use this as your pointer and then use mous clicks or wheel to perform an operation on what you are looking at. More immersive and natural to me but personal preference. i9 14900K / 64GB / RTX 4090 / Varjo Aero / Winwing Orion2 + F15EX / Virpil Wrbrd + Alpha Stick + ACE pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More immersive and natural to me but personal preference. My only issue with that is the dot is visible all the time. With it ticked you can still use your head to move the mouse cursor. I have the mouse clicks and wheel mapped to my Hotas (and button box) so I just click a button or rotate a rotary to bring up the cursor and look and click. Then the cursor disappears after a short time out. Just personal preference.

Kercheiz Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 When I have mouse stuck, what I do is Alt+Tab, Win+Y, Alt+Tab For whatever reason I need to remove focus to DCS windows in order to have WinY working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
