VR pilot view

[YoYo]

Not too close? Seems to close. Maybe it's better to move your head a bit back in VR view?

VR default is a special option if you desire to change it. Certainly does not qualify as a ‘bug’

[YoYo]

I just noticed it. In the Special tab, I have an option to rearrange the position. The default is 5 which is too close, at least for me. 0 and 1 are a bit far away but 2 is already great! Cool idea, actually every model should have this option. Thanks Razbam for this idea!

Hi Yoyo,

First, I hope all is well. 
Explaining a few things with relation to the view point and the Option in the Special Options Menu.

null

The green cross hair is 0,0,0 in the model and the virtual eye point of where the view originally positioned.
The red line from the green 0,0,0 eye point is exactly 8cm to the Eye.

Original 0,0,0 eye point is set there for people who do not have Track IR or VR setups to allow them to see the inside MPD buttons covered by the UFC's sides due to the perspective.
It simulates as if the person has their head resting against the back of the ejection seat.

If a person who wants to setup their VR to the exact spot in the model we have it set to default at 8cm and go to 10cm as personal preference.
For the "Monitor Eyepoint Offset this defaults for none Track IR users are able to move to the desired position or to the correct 3D Model eyepoint of 8cm as well.

Take care,

Tim

Great! Thx for explanation!

Hi there. is there a way to Change the Angle of the Pilot's Head moving in Relation to the Camera Position as well, or disable it in the Mirrors? I noticed that when i look straight into one of the Side-Mirrors, it appears like the Pilot's Head is already at a 90° Angle, which then blocks most of the Mirrors and causes some slight Motion-Sickness on my part.

Great stuff, thank you!

So which setting is close to real view in VR?  5-8?

It's still being worked on. The reason the pilot animation and your 1st person view aren't lining up is due to the original DCS limitations on the pilot animation. 

In the beginning the Pilot models would only look left and right at 90 degrees. The F-15E pilots have much higher rotation value as to almost turning around in the seat. 
This presently causes a limitation and difference in the model and your 1st person rotation on your head.



It should be sorted out in some time during EA.
My apologies.

8cm is the exact location of the eyes of the model in 3D space.

Thanks for the explanation I'll flip up the Mirrors until then

Hi Tim,

First, thank you for the explanation. But the quoted text above is where I am a little confused. 
 

You said default for VR is 8cm. In the special options, the default number for VR is set at 5. So 5 in game=8cm? 
 

The default for track IR is set at 0 in game. As a track IR user, how should I change to number to match the 8cm realistic eyepoint position. Is there a recommended number for track IR? 
 

Thank you in advance.

 

Best,

 

Nick

My apology, I thought the coder changed it to 8cm as default, sorry for the misunderstanding.
The numbers are the centimeters themselves, if that clears it up.

Yes change the track ir to 8 to set it properly to the pilot model

Yaaay^^ The relative motion angles are fixed   Many thanks for that!
