Working with our developer community, we're now closer than ever to releasing the next generation of Leap Motion software, which will be pushed for free to all devices later this year. http://us6.campaign-archive2.com/?u=b6db0e3e157a48749e1048615&id=7bb2b9fe3c&e=7847c62253 ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

gtrdrt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) I got my rift last week and haven't had a ton of time to try to tweak it. I'm having issues with the head tracking. Some axes are fine. Some of my axes are reversed. Pitch and yaw are fine. Specifically, it's the translation axes. Lean forward and the panel retreats. Opposite of what should happen. Stand up and it's like I just squeezed myself lower in the pit. I've seen this on other forums as an issue for some folks but to date, I have yet to see a solution offered. Hopefully someone else here has seen this and can offer guidance on how to fix it. If only some of the folks who post those amazing DCS/Oculus Rift videos would share how they managed to set it all up so successfully. That there are videos of it has to prove that positional tracking can work brilliantly, but I've tried just about all of the suggestions I could find in this thread and still can't get it to work at all. For example, could it have something to do with the fact that I can't even get OVRService_x64.exe to stop automatically coming back on before I can get a chance to restart DCS? Has this happened as well to any of you? It's weird. Here's hoping there won't have to be many more of these cries for:helpsmilie: Edited August 29, 2014 by gtrdrt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smirkza Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Really good interview about the future of stereoscopic vr across entertainment platforms. Worth a watch if for nothing else than seeing a red bull air race through a rift! I'm working in London this weekend might try and get down there to have a go myself...

metalnwood Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 For starting and stopping the service this one works well. I use it all the time. Just click the stop, run ED and afterwards restart it. Saves going in to task manager and mucking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vedexent Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Question about resolution though: can you read dashboard instrumentation? It doesn't look like you can with the dev kit - hopefully the consumer version - or is my information out of date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAnker737 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I just don't see leap working for toggle switches. I need feedback and also I don't want to ram my hand on my monitor or drink.

KeyCat Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Would be cool to see DCS support for someting like this in the future. Really no need to detect complex hand movements. A "finger flick" and a "finger/hand twist" would go a long way for cockpit interaction...

Frusheen Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't think this kind of hand tracking will be suitable. I think we need tracking with some form of even basic haptic feedback. It's expected that oculus themselves will announce 'something' regarding input soon. It also raises the small issue of placing your physical yoke, throttle, cyclic etc in the correct place so your virtual and real hands match up when on the controls. It also illustrates the need for some form of common approach to vr input or we will have multiple devices all battling to be the one chosen by Devs. __________________________________________________Win 10 64bit | i7 7700k delid @ 5.1gHz | 32Gb 3466mhz TridentZ memory | Asus ROG Apex motherboard | Asus ROG Strix 1080Ti overclocked Komodosim Cyclic | C-tek anti torque pedals and collective | Warthog stick and throttle | Oculus Rift CV1 | KW-908 Jetseat | Buttkicker with Simshaker for Aviators RiftFlyer VR G-Seat project: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2733051#post2733051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HOTAS setup is necessary to transmit the touching feedback. The doubt now I have is how to tell the Leap motion that our hands are on and off the HOTAS. Perhaps some touch sensors? A new HOTAS?

gtrdrt Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 This info has been posted already. You have to stop wscript before ovrservice or else wscript will automatically restart it. Yeah, I had already tried disabling wscript, but that didn't work either. In fact, I think it was *after* I did that that ovrservice started refusing to stay stopped. Then again, maybe I'm confused; I tried so many things. I should have taken notes. But now I remember that I followed a suggestion someone made here - https://developer.oculusvr.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=11455&p=166497&hilit=task+scheduler#p166497 - to go into the Task *Scheduler* and disable ovrservice. (I'm using Windows 8.1, by the way.) That may have done the trick, because I'm happy to say DCS and DK2 are working for me now! And I only have to jump through *a couple* of hoops any more to fly: Prior to running DCS, I just have to go into the Oculus Configuration Utility and, one, put it in Extended Mode and, two, pause the service. That's it. Plus, I can open and exit DCS multiple times after that without having to pause the service each time. Hoping this helps others... :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtrdrt Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Read the post I made a page ago, or on this page, it has a link to reddit where there is some software to manage the oculus software. No need to load task manager and fiddle around with it. Like I said, I don't have to open task manager; all I have to open is the Oculus Configuration utility and do those two simple tasks. Do you have Windows 8.1? If so, try just to pause the ovrservice from within there to see if you can get by without having to use that software you mentioned.
