dutchili Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 Despite other info on this topic I can't get the zoom to work. Toggle zoom and spyglass work by the push of a button or key, but 'Zoom in' and 'Zoom in slow' don't seem to work. The reason i want this to work is because it will get rid of some aliasing. Other suggestions to accomplish the same goal are welcome too. (please forget about MSAA and other in-game settings for that).

72Stu Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 As usual, a question is met with 2 opposing answers. This seems to be a thing in VR posts. Can ED do a comprehensive guide to playing DCS in VR (2022). Should we go OpenXR? How does a mouse work in VR? Can I run VR DCS in Steam? How do I talk in VR, SRS or the new inbuilt comms? This sim should be a shining light in PC VR gaming because it can be. 3 1

I believe the OP wanted to "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" slow in VR. What is the trick for that? I haven't figured it out yet unless a change I may have missed. Edited August 1, 2022 by Drac

It won't work because you can't use a zoom-function designed for 2D pancake in a 3D environment. That's why there are two zoom-'toggles' specifically designed for use in VR. These in return won't work (correctly) in 2D pancake. 1
dutchili Posted August 1, 2022 Author Posted August 1, 2022 Unfortunately the toggle is not even a toggle. I had more luck with moving the cockpit camera forward to improve perceived graphics quality of the cockpit.
Ramstein Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 unfortunately the UI layer is not practical for me, because I have to many modules that have already utilized al of the keys and buttons. I would have to change all of the profiles, which of course is my problem. Too many modules to change for my VR zoom.

That was my excuse until I realized that my accuracy improved quite a bit with VR Zoom. The low resolution we have in VR makes it difficult sometime to straff or CCIP with precision, VR Zoom is very helpfull for that. I now have one of my HOTAS button exclusively assigned to zoom, applying for all the modules and this is far better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9800X3D, RTX 4090, 96GB DDR 5, MSI Tomahawk 870E, Crucial 2TB x 2, TM WARTHOG COMBO + PENDULAR RUDDER PEDALS, THE AMAZING PIMAX 8K X, Sony 5.1 Spks+SubW | DCS, A-10C_II, AH-64D, F-14/15E/16/18, F-86F, AV-8B, M-2000C, SA342, Huey, Spitfire, FC3.
Ramstein Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 I did get my VR Zoom settings over to a USB XBox controller. It freed up a couple buttons on my HOTAS for each aircraft. it took a while to do all the modules.

Viceman Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Is this obsolete or why cannot I find anything like spyglass? Zoom which works on flatscreen does not work in VR.

Lange_666 Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Because the search function only searches in the selected controls profile. For me (personal opinion) a lot of module controls should be offloaded to the General profile instead of being repeated in each module like the view or camera controls. I wonder how many people set up their zoom controls "differently" for each aircraft/module? VR zoom is common for each module, so why not other stuff that is generally common on each module? Same goes for the names used for certain controls which are different on some modules but act or do exact the same thing.
