Devil 505 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 I was wondering if anyone has had the following issue with PIMAX headsets or wondered if the devs could assist. When bore sighting from cold and dark, the concentric circle do not center in the camera when placing the cross hairs of the IHADSS on the camera in PIMAX VR. I have placed a video below with time stamps demonstrating. I have also noticed a weird clipping issue in the graphics with the IHADSS monocle itself. The rim of the monocle has a hole in it exposing the glass. It also has a clip in lower right hand of the monocle where the reflector seems to cutoff and you can see through it. I have noticed in other VR videos people have posted this is not an issue, just with the wide field of view VR headsets, aka PIMAX. I have tried changing the eyes under the special options to left, right, and both but no dice. Always the same result. It is always visible this way in headset so I know it is not OBS or how I am recording. Any help would be appreciated. It would be nice to get the clipping issue to go away. Best module hands down for VR! This is beyond impressive to fly and honestly, should not be flown any other way in DCS.
frenzon Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 One thing not mentioned is that boresighting is about head position and not just rotation - you need to move your head up/down/left/right to get the circles to align (I have the 8KX and it works).

Devil 505 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Posted March 28, 2022 Much appreciated for the response BIGNEWY/frenzon. I will try moving my head around as suggested, but based on my video above, that would mean from a seated position I would have to raise myself in the seat for the circles to align. I will try after work and see how it goes.

This is correct on the way you have to do it. Is it the right way and are you then boresighted correctly, we'll wait for an answer from ED. I wonder how it can be accurate it boresighting entails you moving your body and head around to accomplish it and then you settle back into your seat in your comfortable position, not the same as where boresighting lined up. Not a Pimax for me, Rift S.... Edited March 28, 2022 by Zap921

Head in position X/Y/Z and looking in direction XRot/YRot/ZRot From there, it calculates based on your current position and head angle. It does all of the calculation taking into account the known starting point and where you are now and the directions you are pointing. So those beginning items are very much needed to be accurate. You should see me with CP/G. I have to unlock my chair tilt to get into the correct starting position. If any of my babbling makes sense. 1

It does make sense and kinda turns on a light if that's how it works. If it takes into account where your head/sight is at all times after finding the zero point (boresight calibration) then it wouldn't matter where your head/eyes are located in the cockpit for the sight alignment to be accurate. Makes sense thinking of a Pilot who boresights then during a an encounter with enemy targets is banking his aircraft and leaning left while looking out the left side canopy window and firing the gun with HMD sight.... Should still be accurate in theory and hopefully translate to that in the Sim. Good explanation! 1
