reported VR pilot and copilot position issues (view)

[YoYo]

I see something like this. The stick is more on the left, not between the legs.

The same the chair.

And the opposite in the other seat.

Yes the default seating position is too much to the right and too much forward. It's hard to tell exactly without pilot model, but I corrected it to the best of my abilities.

And maybe too low:

That was my first impression too, yes. I kept swapping back and forth between F2 and F1 views to check. I then leaned forward to see where my forehead would hit the dashboard frame and compared that to the pilot in F2 view but again hard to tell without pilot model.

So we feel something like this  :

In summary for default view:

- VR view for copilot and pilot isnt centered

- face is too close to the windshield

- maybe too low (but a little, I checked some images and maybe this one is ok):

In DCS we have the option to keep the user position, you can use it until it is fixed: https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Cockpit_Views .

Same here for me, its also the same issue the Apache had on release, also the ramp position in VR looks towards to the pilots instead of out the rear

Playing around with it some more all the VR views are off

RH Gunners view is way off the the LH side
LH Gunners view is ok but could with being a little lower on the gun sight
Ramp Gunners view looks back along the cockpit and is facing the wrong way
Pilot and Copilots views are not in the middle of the stick and a little low.

All these issues were similar to the Apache when it came out

ED if you need a VR only beta tester Im happy to help out because its clearly not being checked even for EA

Just chiming in to say I experience the same (HP Reverb G1)

Also, this thread should be moved to the "bugs and problems" section, as this is not a controller related issue.

 

 

Like others mentioned; How is it possible that these kind of basic issues are not tackled before EA release? Yes, I know it's EA and I'm not an IT guy, but surely the default pilot head position should be an easy thing to get right. I mean, everyone putting on a VR headset will see the default position is not centred*. It's literally the first thing you notice.

*or is there anyone here using a VR headset that does not have this issue?

 

We had this exact same issue in the Apache CPG seat at EA release and imho it took ED too long to acknowledge/fix that. Hopefully this report gets noticed sooner.

Sorry to tag you @BIGNEWY, but please make sure to inform the team about this issue (if you haven't already). 

It should be an easy fix (at least for the co-/pilot seats), yet quite a big QOL improvement.

I have reported this to the team

thank you
