Leap Motion sensor position

[edmuss]

Picked up a leap motion on a whim a couple of months ago, it was only 30 quid and results in DCS was a little flaky to say the least.

Now the gemini 5.2 software has been released and DCS updated I figured I would test it out again and it's a dramatic improvement, no more grabbing the stick and throttle if you're using hotas, tracking is infinitely better and it's actually a pretty useable system although not as quick as mouse yet.

I do have a couple of issues hitting the top row of buttons on the MFDs in the A10, I think that is linked to a combination of parallax error and the fact my hand physically hits my steering wheel base/shifter that's rigged up on the desk.  Likewise I struggle to raise the gear with my left hand, the tracking gets lost that far down and sometimes gets occluded by the desk (reaching ahead of the throttle which is mounted on a shelf below the desk).

I've rigged the sensor to the top of my reverb G2 and it by and large works pretty well, I was wondering if perhaps it would be better sited on the bottom face to give an extra few inches of tracking envelope downwards.  Perhaps even angling it downwards?  Reason I've not rigged it to the front is because the reverb faceplate is quite rounded.

Has anyone fiddled about with the sensor location and orientation?

Massive increase in usability in the meantime, good work ED devs
