need track replay IHADSS alignment in VR results in adding significant error in alignment from default instead of improving (VR Reverb G2

[SQUIGUKEN]

When I perform the alignment of the IHADSS on the deck after a cold start by selecting boresight while the bullseye is centered in the circular reference lense) my IHADSS is thrown way out of correct alignment.  It's off by 20-30 degrees to the left and 40-60 degrees high.  I estimate these errors by turning on PNVS, and comparing the overlay IR view of PNVS to my mark one eyeball in my left eye.

I'm flying in VR (HP Reverb G2).

could you share a track file pls. I have the same Headset but no problem like that. Maybe i could help out :)+

Don't forget, the LOS reticle on the IHADSS (the cross in the middle) also has to be centered on the bullseye, while the bullseye is centered in the tube.  Is that what you mean?

I've seen so many articles on this, I don't know what to believe anymore.  many claim that the bullseye doesn't need to be centered in the tube, just the IHADSS cross.  

Do you know of a repeatable way to prove which procedure actually works?   (I also have a G2)

What does the DCS AH-64D Early Access Guide say?

I am using the reverb G2 and I am not seeing any problem. 

I get in the cockpit, first thing I do is look forward and numpad 5 to make sure my headset is in the correct orientation. 

Start the bird and boresight IHADSS. 

Please include a track replay showing the issue so we can look for clues 

thank you

DM me if you would like a discussion on this. 

I have attempted to hold open and frank discussions before (trying to keep it light), only to be warned off honesty by a member of your team.

Have a good Easter.

Sorry, what I was describing was the correct way to do it in 2D, which is also how it is shown in the manual.

I was only pointing out to the OP that not only do you have to get your head on-axis with the BRU (bullseye pattern centered), but you also have to have the HMD looking straight down the tube (LOS reticle aligned with the bullseye).  In his original post, it wasn't clear he was achieving both of these at the same time.

VR users that render the IHADSS in both eyes do run into trouble getting things properly aligned.  There are other threads that discuss techniques for this, including the "cross-eyed" method.
