rss0900 Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 I can't move my head around enough to read the panels on the sides, example I can't see any of the text in the f14, can't possible move my head enough to see the oxygen switch either. Tried to setup snap views but these don't work in VR? I've spent most of the day trying to figure out how to fix this and can't find a solution could some nice person point me how you would setup different views in VR to be able to see and interact with each panel?

rss0900 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 Thanks I may check this out when I have more time, pretty much spent all day trying to do the f14 cold start tutorial but can't see anything in vr if it's on my side. Is there no option without having to install more stuff to be able to look at the various panels and interact with them? I can see the ones in front of me just fine.
rss0900 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 Question snap views in VR are supposed to work, correct? I setup several in non-VR but they did not work in VR, if I understand I need to stand up and literally walk around to set the snap views in VR and then they should work. Does that sound correct?
Lt_Jaeger Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 I don't understand your problem. Are you physically unable to turn your head to look at side panels or is there a technical issue which denies you the all around view one gets in VR?
rss0900 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 I'm not sure if it is a limitation of my neck or VR to be honest. While I can look to the side in order to see the panels on the side of the tomcat clearly requires very uncomfortable positions, I literally can't read these panels without twisted my neck to one side and trying to embed my chin in to my chest to get the switches within the sweet spot to see it clearly. Using a reverb G2. Going to play around with snap views again today to see if I can figure out a better way to do this.
Jayhawk1971 Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) VR is not TrackIR. Head movement is 1:1, while your field of view (peripheral vision) is narrower than "real live" (unless you're using a Pimax). So you either have to live with uncomfortable head positions, or get something like Necksafer (that apparently acts more like TrackIR in translating actual head movement into exaggerated head movement - not using that myself, as using VR is my effort to make my flight sim experience more "realistic", not less). Some things that come to mind that may help: make sure you are "sitting" correctly in the cockpit (meaning your head position is where it should be; if not: re-center with the "5" key on the numpad). Also, leaning back while looking left/right helps to reach the switches that are farther back (like oxygen - which actually is the only one in the Tomcat). The F-14 pilot seat is rather "tame" compared to the Viper, where you really have to reach behind you. Using a swivel chair helps, too, IMO. Also, neck problems are realistic: Edited October 23, 2021 by Jayhawk1971
