Request: Disable "zoom-in" effect when using Zoom in VR

Recommended Posts

Running an HTC Vive and flying the P-51D, finally figured out to map the new VR Zoom function to my HOTAS Warthog. It's a great addition, allowing high detail zoom into those smaller gauges like the Mustang's Fuel/Oil Pressure in the lower right corner.

 

However, the "zoom-in" effect is seriously disorienting in VR. I seem to be unaffected by most other VR sickness (I usually turn on walking/running locomotion in other games and have loved DCS flight simming), but this one causes me to shut my eyes when zooming in and out. Might be the speed of the zoom, but would be great if this could removed or at least toggled as an option with a "jump" zoom that immediately flips back and forth.

 

Thanks for a great sim!

I've had a Vive since April, and many other applications use the "teleport" function to avoid motion sickness. I can confirm that sudden snap changes don't seem to create disorientation as much as perceived smooth motion. Look at Valve's The Lab as an example of a very professional application that relies completely on sudden teleports to get around space.

 

Could be wrong, but suspect that snap zoom will be less disorienting than motion effect.

Flyinside does the zoom really well. They call it the "Binoculars". You bind a button to activate it and then an axis to zoom in and out at the user's setting. Activating it takes you to the last zoom power and deactivating it takes you back to 1x. The changes from on and off are instant.

 

I'd prefer DCS would just automatically go to the zoom setting instead of zooming in like it does. Doing it like FI does would be optimal.

Hello,

I made some time ago a suggestion on the whislist thread :https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=178725

And Harm is wrong : I used the instant zoom with my 3dmigoto mod and it is really not disorienting, because of the "binocular" effect used (have a look at the picture in the post linked above).

In fact I can even use the standard DCS "zoom in" on top of the binocular effect without sickness. That provide x2, x4 and x8 zoom, as a kind of counterbalance of the poor resolution of VR...

+ another 1!

 

I also find the zoom function unnatural and uncomfortable to use.

I agree. Instant zoom is better.

 

There's a zoom mod out now in the download section that has three levels of zoom, it snap zooms, and I find it much better.

Yeah something like that mod should be standard, especially increased zoom levels to help with spotting in VR or at least to balance it with the spotting capability of non-VR guys.
