Slartibartfast Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) I've recently got a HP Reverb G2 and have to say I'm absolutely loving flying the Huey with this thing! Anyway, while it's been working great, today when I started up DCS World it did an update and after it relaunched a few things were off. Firstly it re-mapped everything on my HOTAS throttle. While this was annoying it was easy enough to fix however, for some reason, while the rotation of my VR headset tracks fine it no longer tracks translations, meaning it doesn't follow when I move my head in space –as in when I lean in to the dash or push to the side to get a better view out the corner of the window, the direction I'm looking is tracked fine however the actual position of my head appears to stay the same. I noticed this happened when I first tried the headset and was disappointed to to think that DCS simply didn't support head translations however after a little tweaking of settings, on one flight I was surprised to discover that head translations were indeed being tracked but I have no idea what I did. Since the update, try as I might I just cant work out what I adjusted before. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Edited November 5, 2021 by Slartibartfast
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted November 5, 2021 ED Team Posted November 5, 2021 Make sure your play space has enough light, and reset your environment in windows mixed reality, it should help.

Slartibartfast Posted November 5, 2021 Author Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the suggestion @BIGNEWY but I don't think it's an issue with the headset itself. It actually tracks both rotation and translations really well in the "MS House" in the Mixed Reality Portal" and as I say it tracks rotations well in DCS and use to track translations before the update. Something changed with the update and I'm trying to work out what. Edited November 5, 2021 by Slartibartfast
nachomaga Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 I cleared the environmental data in WMR settings and notice same issue, like 2D tracking, if I understand you correctly. Had to reboot computer twice, but solves the problem for me, 6DOF tracking again. Hope it helps.
Slartibartfast Posted November 7, 2021 Author Posted November 7, 2021 Well, after a reboot it did indeed start working... but then the next time I played I was back to only 3 DOF: I realised this time that my throttle quadrant had become unplugged and although once plugged back in worked fine some of the switches were a little funny. I then realised that the time before when I only had 3 DOF I had booted DCS with my throttle unplugged as well and plugged it in once booted, so I restarted again with the throttle definitely connected and what do you know, 6 DOF again. I'm not sure if it's related or not but I use an X-56 Rhino and for some reason it prevents my PC from going to sleep so I tend to unplug it while not in use. Not sure if that's the reason or if it's just a coincidence but it seems to be working now:
