hope the frame of reference for the mouse in VR can be improved

[Hariskut]

Currently, the mouse uses the VR headset as its reference frame, which makes it difficult to click accurately unless you keep your head perfectly still. I believe the more logical reference frame should be the cockpit itself, similar to the desktop mode, where the mouse does not move with your head regardless of head movements.

Have ED given any response? Because in my opinion, this is a very obvious improvement and it's not difficult to implement.

I've never seen a response, but could easily have missed it.

The day may come when there will be posted the 100th tread with this topic and I will give my 100th "+1"

Edit: Of course this should be an option. We don't want to take anything away from those that want it the way it is now.

Exactly M8, let's keep advocating for this issue.

This has been requested for like the last 6 years.

Best of luck.

+1 - As an option please. Waiting for this since I use VR. Its so obvious. Why is this still a thing?

Perhaps not many pilots used VR in the past, but now more and more are using VR. This issue deserves ED's attention and correction.

This might get looked at in five years' time, but only after the launcher gets animated cows.  Because... priorities.

Seriously, I really don't know who needs cow animations. Are we supposed to shoot down cows with planes?

Whilst I am very grateful for DCS, ihmo it has become a pyramid scheme focused on releasing module after module to bring in funds; how else to explain many, many reasonable requests for essential features and functionality, like yours, being ignored for years?

It feels quite hopeless, as there's been no progress at all since 2018.

Well, there is at least one other side to that coin: many VRs would lose their favourite method of doing things in the cockpit if they are unable to aim the mouse cursor with their heads.

Menu option to toggle it. Job done.

I have no issue with this being added (I don't use VR so it really doesn't effect me one way or the other).  But I'd just like to point out that a) VR is not a majority of DCS users (likely).  b) don't assume that everything "simple" is actually easy/fast to program.  c) EVERY OPTION no matter how simple is going to have have a performance hit.  It may be negligible on it's own, but when you add a bunch of them it's eventually going to add up and matter.  So while this seems simple and easy and no cost and something everyone wants, reality is it may not be easy, no impact and something that benefits a large part of the user base (in fact as pointed out above, not all VR users want it).  So just because THIS particular wish hasn't been implemented since 2018 doesn't mean that ED doesn't do things that users request (they have), and isn't evidence that DCS is a pyramid scheme.
