VR head position save option (question/help)


Endorphine

Recommended Posts

Hello, I have Steam Index + base stations that are fixed to walls.

Every time I start DCS the position where my vr headset situated when the game initialises will be the zero position in the game, so I need to recenter view every time if the headset wasn't on my head the moment the game launched.

Is there a way to tell dcs to save my desired center head position so it keeps it event AFTER the restart ???

I don't want to manually recenter my position every time since my simpit is in fixed spot and not moving.

I hope I am clear.

Thanks

RAlt and Num0 is usually the save function for recentre I believe

As far as i know there is no possibility to save your vr/trackir head positon so that you don't need to recenter, you would need to have your head in the exact same position every time anyway. :dunno:

 

But there is a "recenter VR headset" options in the controlls menu, i have bind that to a key on my HOATS. Startup DCS, put on your VR headset and push the button, finished.

 

If you know this option already, just ignore me. :beer:

Doesn't work in VR, at least i can't get it to work. Reverts always to the default position. VR center does work.

This^^^^ also helps with looking at switches next far left or right.

It does work and help. Recenter VR recenters to the view you configured with RAlt+Num0.

 

In other words, get yourself a suitable position with the help of recenter and the rest of of NumX buttons. For me it's normally height and distance to the cockpit front. When in a comfortable position, store it with RAlt+Num0. Now, when pressing Recenter, it will take the position you stored last in RAlt+Num0.

Well, for me it doesn't.

In VR i'm always sitting to low so i move the camera up and a bit forward (forward depends on the airplane). I then hit RAlt-Num0 but the next mission i'm low in my seat again, no difference if i save the cockpit angels or not.

There is at least something written to the snapview.lua since it changes date and hour when i press RAlt-Num0 but it doesn't work.... ever.

Been trying and looking for a solution since i went VR back in november 2019.

And the ‘Recenter VR’ binding doesn’t work for you?

Yes, the Recenter_VR works but that's not the same thing.
