VR view not resetting

[Medalheart]

First post, i play with Quest 2, when i press 5 to center view, it is not resetting veiw. that is on  main screen and cockpit of all aircraft.

You need to set it again through controls. Something changed causing the key bind not to work anymore.

Center view through oculus if you have to to see the menu.

Hi,

 

re-center is not possible anymore. That makes VR pretty useless!

Even setting the keys again doesn´t work. Oculus too. 

 

If it is not possible to calibrate the view for VR- we have a serious problem. 

 

Thanks and Cheers

Houston....  we have a problem!!

Yeah we do.  Can NOT recenter view in VR after 2.8 update.

[surfdog]

Solution Found:

Adjust Controls

Set UI

reset VR Center

Clear (num5)

Enter (num5) again

Now it should work

Surfdog, 

thank you, much appreciated, that worked.

I had tried this first yesterday after 2.8 came out and it does not fix it. I have reset the key, cleared it, set it again and bound joystick buttons to recenter all to no avail. There is no way to recenter vr view without using the quest 2 hand controller.

I have a Quest 2 and my recentre button (num 5) works fine from the 2.8 install. I would delete your Config folder and restart the game. Let DCS build a new one including all your input files.

Same issue.  HP G2 user.  Removed binding and then re-added and got the same issue.

Mine works but I can reproduce this. 

If I ever use recenter function of oculus link interface with controller shortcut or through the clock menu of dash in that VR session I cannot use recenter in DCS anymore until I quit oculus link interface completely and restart it again. 

If you don't recenter there and start DCS you can keep on using DCS VR recenter function.

Edit: Since august 2022 oculus.api is declared as legacy. There is no developer support anymore. So I believe we will get more and more problems in the future with each patch. end of 2020 oculus declared OpenXR as it's native api, in august 2021 they stopped development of oculus.api and they said in august 2022 they will stop developer support and move to legacy support. 

World moved to OpenXR. I hope we will see native OpenXR in DCS before we start losing functionality.

I just stumbled across this problem too, but I think I found the solution:

You have to go into the options menu of the dcs start screen, not the ingame options menu. There is a special "VR" section in the controls section (make sure to select "general") where you have to enter Num5 for "recenter view" and then there appears a progress bar which runs through all planes setting Num5 as standard for recenter view. This certainly is due some changes with GUI stuff in Ver 2.8, seems a bit odd though.

[TOMCATZ]

Sir, Yes- I'm afraid that you are right. 

But the trouble started after the 2.8 update. In 2.7 VR centering worked well. So maybe there is a small little ... how can I say .... <profanity> up in the new update. 

Thank you very much and let's hope for the very best.

Kind regards and cheers

Post scriptum: DST I've tried but still with no success. But thank you very much and I'm happy that it works well for you. Have good flights

Nothing in here works for me. Still can't center VR.

[j0nx]

Hello??? Why is nobody talking about this? I have this problem on 2 separate machines and can't reset my center VR. Fix this!

[j0nx]

Still having this problem on 2 different machines. How do you reset the forward VR view now?

I had the same problem persisting. Solved by deleting the UI Layer folder within SavedGames/DCS/Config folder.

 

[Moxica]

When I had this problem on Quest2, I deleted the guardian history within the Oculus software.
-Problem gone.

[j0nx]

Guardian was disabled for me but just for kicks I cleared it but it didn't do anything. I have 2 machines where resetting the center view in VR does not work by pressing the 5 key on the numpad anymore and there no longer appears to be a way to reset the view. Devs?
