requested Please keep NS430 pop-up in an absolute space like the kneeboard (not floating constantly in front of player view)

[hannibal]

the recent OB update now allows coordinate data to be pulled from F10 map to be displayed as a fixed point in space text box, similar to show controls indicator, or multicrew buddy request or kneeboard... (THIS IS USEFUL)

PLEASE also make the NS430 pop-up to be the same, it is not useful to have the NS430 floating directly in front of player view in VR where ever the player looks..

hoping this can fixed in near future...

any word on this mister @Flappie !

I can pass it along to devs, but I need other players to express the same need, first.

Let's use this other thread to work on this issue:

 

 

Consider me to be "another player expressing the same need".  I have flown behind the 430 IRL and would love to be able to use it in DCS, but having it float in front of my face is a dealbreaker.

 

Ideally, i would like to be able to position it the same we we can reposition the framerate counter display.  Super ideally, I would like to be able to slap it anywhere in the cockpit in 3 dimensions, but even just being able to slap it anywhere on the "menu plane" would be an improvement which takes this from "unusable" to "amazing"

I've just bumped the internal request.

us NS430 VR users appreciate u!!!

I just found out about this and decided to pick it up on a whim on sale.  As a VR user, I'm going to tinker around with it to get to work on 2D jets and warbirds.  I bought the 3D model bracket for the Gazelle along with it and that works fine in VR.  I'll get it sorted eventually, but it would have been nice to just have it work "out of the box."  Although I do understand that VR is a big can of worms to troubleshoot for.

It's a handy tool..just not convenient to use at this moment for VR folks

Any news on this? I need it working properly in my VR and I use a lot in Su-25 for accuracy bombing. 
 

Sometimes I go inverted looking for enemy so having the GPS floating around will be a nightmare. 
 

also if ED can do a 3D front panel model of this device and allow us attached in certain places in cockpit that will be the best. Even when the price get increased that will be appreciated.

i just tried it in VR with the 2.9 OB update. it is STILL UNusable and annoyinh\g with the the NS430 floating in front of my face...

I ask myself how they imagined the use of NS430 in VR… it’s is literally in the middle of sight… we should see the device all the time to correct flight deviation but at the same time we must see the rest of the Instruments. The way they implemented the VR use is just nonsense.

still hoping that ED will address this in future patch.

although the NS430 popup is functional again in multithread exe, 

many of us would like NS430 to be in a fixed position like the kneeboard, and NOT floating in front of the player's face..

I don't know if that was already in old beta versions but I gotta do that. you need activate the trackers with gloves

looks cool but i fly with PointCtrl and physical HOTAS. i DO NOT care to fly with VR hand tracked controllers... but still cool if i were one of those virtual pilots that do use gloves.

Please keep NS430 pop-up in an absolute space like the kneeboard? "I need other players to express the same need, first." I'm another user who is expressing such a need AND IN VR PLEASE!

@Flappie can we check on devs about keeping NS430 in a locked position in space like the kneeboard? i hope it is not forgotten, i believe most of us in VR use joysticks and NOT hand controllers, so having the NS430 floating makes it unusable...

[hannibal]

DCS version 2.9.6.57650 and the NS430 still unusable in VR due to NS430 constantly floating in front of face..

please lock it to a fixed position in space like a kneeboard.. many of us do not fly with VR controllers

Hello,

There is now a workaround, even if I did not post yet the 2.0 version of VREM (I need to do the scaling of NVG) :

 

[lefuneste01]

New version of the mod with more settings :

@plott1964, @hannibal, @ShuRugal, I wonder if someone will use it...It was more a challenge than a real need, as I'm now flying the AH64, but maybe it can help you...

That's amazingggggggg. 

I wish that ns430 overlay did not have to be a mod..

I hope NS430 will get some love from devs.

Does this pass IC on multiplayer servers? @lefuneste01

I think it should, it depend of reshade in fact... I'm not playing multi but I did some test some time ago it was working as far as I remind. This mod is not changing any file of DCS.
