VR Pilot (wip)

New VR pilot for the Mirage is coming along nicely. Wont be long before you guys get to enjoy the awesome model ;)

Wow, coming along nicely.

:thumbup:

thanks, I enjoy the M2000 much and that'll be the final touch for really being in the cockpit.

Looks great, can’t wait to see it in all its glory

Looks great and fulfilling the M2000C

Looks good.

Any work on a harrier or mig pilot? IIRC you guys posted a harrier pilot WIP a while back.

Looking forward to this one, and the one for the AV-8

Looks good.

Probably Timghetta doing both. Great level of details, so probably a lot work, takes time for each one. Totally different flight gears :smilewink:

M2000C VR Pilot Seat mount test. WIP still have a lot more texture work to do. Animation and seat harness integration as well.

This is nicely done, the quality seems top notch !

When referring to animation, do you think you could enhanced what's actually in the game and offer something similar to another highly animated pilot released not too long ago in another plane ? Just a wish :x

Looks fantastic

Tim, Looks real nice!

Quick question, is it basically all "art" or is there a bunch of coding involved with the animation as well?

Awesome :thumbup:

Is a ''pilot without hands'' option considered, as shown in the photo, so we can operate the side panels while still having the body / legs?

Or,, even better, is an animation possible where the respective hand will be moved back , or even act as a cersor, when the mouse is positioned over a side panel?

The current method to do this is just turn off the whole pilot, do what needs doing and turning him back on. At least this is what I do in VR. It would be cool to have some way of moving an arm so you could interact with a panel. OR, have all button presses/manipulations animated as well, or to have arms follow your VR gloves/hands (but I think this is likely way too much work).

That's exactly what i personally want to avoid

I get where you are coming from, but thats the way it currently works.

The way I "want" it to work in VR is probably going to be a lot of resources to get it to work right.

I.e. if I "lean" enough to the Right the left hand/arm gets moved so I can interact with that panel. Or "arm" tracking with VR gloves, though again, captoglove seems like its total vapor ware still.

I have a Button on my Throttle for the Body, so I can set my imputs and turn the Body on again.

I fly always with the Body Visual, if this opinion is available.

Thanks,

It's a pain in the ass process of skin weights to make the joints bend correctly.

The Pilot was scanned at a sitting position so there wasn't a stretching at the pelvis and has a nicer look, a more natural seat position.

Once the skin weights are correctly applied to each bone, we can then easily assign the same arg of the controls, animate to match the throttle, stick, and pedals movements.

Now with regards to the pilot doing other things that would require extreme coding and special techniques, basically a lot of work, reasons I will not say here as we are looking into this in the future.

I won’t say the title here to avoid problem.

But there is a VR Simulator with fictive aircraft designed to be flown with virtual controllers.

The VR pilot hands replicate your controllers positions.

So you see the hands in game move on each buttons.

But it isn’t as realistic or with as good graphics as DCS. Yet it was designed from ground up for VR use. :smilewink:

I tried, but I think transition from HOTAS to VR controllers and back is too much complicated with headset designed to cut you from the real world.

So for the time being I’m not sure animated arms does worth the extra work. My 2 cents...

That Mirage pilot is piece of art though :thumbup:

I will surely spend some time admiring my virtual flight suit, Mae West and G pants in my Rift S:D

Nice. Though I always find the headless pilots hillarious for some reason.

Thanks,

Cool, thanks.

I'd imagine Ed would do some sort of heavy lift on new code for moving hands and such though, since the entire game would benefit from it.
