quest 3 hand tracking with dcs

[thenoise]

A guide step by step to have hand tracking on dcs world. It's possible?

Turn it on in your headset.

Turn it on in DCS under the VR options.

It works…and yet you will be disappointed.

I use my Quest 3, like a lot of people, via Virtual Desktop, and had succeeded in getting my virtual hands to follow my actual hands in the cockpit.  

However, I could not get DCS to recognise me trying to press buttons or flipping switches and that was either caused by me simply not pinching or flipping correctly, or I've missed a step somewhere in the setup.  Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong, so I can give it another try?

I'd changed the internal game settings, VD streamer settings and in headset VD settings, but have now disabled the feature, as I don't really want my hands being shown if they're not going to be of any use.

Hi,

I just got my Quest 3 to replace my good ol’ G2 and hand tracking works wells outside of DCS.

Though in DCS I cannot select HANDS in the VR options, only CONTROLLERS appears, any tips ?

I don’t use virtual desktop btw just Link via cable.

Based on your comment I’m assuming you have set up a Meta developer account then and have hand tracking enabled. The drop-down will only display the Hands option if you are in VR and in the actual game, ie not from within the launcher or 2d. Is this the case?

I didn't set up a Meta developper account, it just worked (and I reset the helmet when I got it, second hand). I'm in VR and the helmet on my head when I try to find it in the VR options; should I set up a developer account ?

Same issue here - I can get the hands to show up in the cockpit but they won't interact with anything.  I'd say the feature is kinda broken in its current state.

That, doesn't work, or am I missing a step ?

You might need a developer account, but I‘m not sure. I have one, because I also need it for the eye-tracking in the QuestPro.

In any case, the hand-Tracking is not a pleasant experience in DCS. It‘s sluggish at best. But I guess curiosity kills the cat, right…
