Leap Motion - Front Facing/Mounted - OpenXR/DCS Force Head Mount Mode

[randomguylurking]

I have a DOF reality H3 Motion rig and during testing it with the Leap Controller on my Pimax 8k, I wasn't getting great results. Algorithms didn't seem to always pick things up.  My thought was that the racing wheel base mount in the cockpit area would be an ideal spot for the Leap Controller as it moves with the motion of the rig and is stationary.  

So I installed it Facing towards me, and in the Leap Motion controller settings you can Select "desktop" or "stand" placement, vs Head Mounted.  So I thought this would work and the Leap controller picks up my hands great, except that it's in reverse.  No problem... GO to the software, but it's locked.  You can't change the controller placement after the game has activated.  It looks like OpenXR takes control of it right away and switches it to Head Mounted.

So has anyone figured a way to use it facing forward in the settings?  I'm not sure why it's getting forced by DCS or OpenXR to go into VR front facing mode.

I don't think DCS has functionality for the desk mounted leap motion, I dare say it might be possible but I suspect the likelihood of it happening is slim to none.
