How do I center the view on a HP Reverb G2 in-game?

[Hobo 1-1]

Embarrassed to ask, how does one re-center the view in-game? For whatever reason, my default orientation once in the cockpit is 45 degrees off-center. The old Rift I replaced had a controller-driven menu option that quickly recentered the view in two clicks. I'm sure it's 100% operator failure, but if anyone could throw me a bone, I'd appreciate it.

you have to map or bind that function, among other, into your Controls sections, UI layer submenu.
VR zoom and VR super zoom are also very handy.
I have the three of them mapped to switches of my TM Warthog throttle.

Number pad key 5, if using voice attack you can set it up to centre your view with a voice command,  I've set up so that I simply say 'centre view' in VR and it centres right away.

you can also map the command to a button

This. Not sure why anyone with a VR headset on would want to have to search for and press a numpad key. But to each their own.

Much easier to assign to a button on HOTAS, and while at it go ahead and assign the two layers of VR Zoom ( In UI Layer) in there  as well.

I have no need to search it becomes natural after first 6 thousand times lol.

Thank you very much to everyone who answered!

Instead of hitting keypad 5 or mapping it to a button on a HOTAS, I use a USB footswitch commonly available from Amazon. Actually, I use a triple USB footswitch. One for re-centre, another to enable/disable night vision on the open kneeboard and a third to show/hide the kneeboards.

Reverb G2 Glitching?

I am getting after long times online (2-3 hrs), a sudden zoom, jump sideways view from outside the cockpit, looking at joystick level, in  the cockpit.

I have the reset button mapped and reset it but it still jumps around.

Anyone else experiencing this?.......

Actually, yes I have. It’s happened several times with nothing consistent between each occurrence. The only thing that solves the issue is to exit and run the game again.

So you think its a server or Reverb problem.?
Or memory overflow of some sort.

Maybe a light problem? most times it happens when my ambient light is too low or my monitor goes up with bright, also sometimesone of my headset position cameras  are dirty due to my fingertips etc.... try to increase the lightroom 

[Marshallman]

You might have solved the problem..........The monitor LG55inch Oled  shuts down during PC gaming it recognises that there is no TV signal...that maybe the link.
I will check next flight...thanks

Nice. I freed up a few buttons on HOTAS when I got Point CTRL, will keep in mind if I ever need more.

 

Edit: No idea how I ended up responded to a post from June lol.

I wish I knew! If I had any idea at all I could start troubleshooting to at least narrow down possibilities.

Ohhhh, nice idea. I'll make sure my room is very bright next time around.

So this is what I do every time I start a (usually like 3 hour ) VR session:

1. Reboot PC
2. Launch WMR by plugging in Reverb
3. Set the center using WMR
4. Optional - Ensure OpenXR toolkit is up
5. Launch VoiceAttack (I cannot use VR without it!)
6. Launch Focus Guard (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3330231/)
7. Launch DCS

I hardly ever have a centering issue inside DCS after all that. Now, if it crashes I could just launch DCS again, and it is usually centered correctly 9 times out of 10. But, because it crashed, you may want to clear the buffers, and the fxo/metashaders folders and start over.

Also, concur with firefox121 regarding lighting. The Reverb (and a lot of other HMDs) rely on external lighting to function correctly.
