Vr hands in pit now works

So I just noticed our finger on vr controller very hand now pushes buttons! In warbirds now about to test other airframes

Are you talking with the Touch controllers?

Yes your finger on hand in game. At devs can we get all the motions on how to use the hands?

So I can control throttle with left hand, and insight on controlling stick?

:thumbup:

Nice find!

It is a little rough around the edges - I checked in the Spit - but certainly works.

So with virtual throttle how would you use slew?

They originally detailed that you wouldnt be able to use the buttons on the HOTAS, just movement of the stick and throttle so I doubt slew will work.

the touch controller has two mini stick (Xbox style) and I am guessing the quality is better than the one in the warthog.,

One could map this mini stick to any other device input using SteamVR input map tool or VJoy or whatever (many options)

"Pushes buttons" how? Like you can reach out and punch in stuff on the UFC or something else?

I did not get a lot of time with it today, but from what I can tell if it is a button that pushes, then it can be pushed with finger.

Thanks. Looking forward to messing with this later. Seems it would take the same amount of time to grab a controller and it would to grab the mouse. To the best of your knowledge, can this be used in conjunction with a HOTAS or does it only work if you try to fly with the touch controllers? I haven't used controllers with DCS at all yet.

It can be used for manipulating buttons in addition to your HOTAS.

Just need to enable the controllers in the VR menu in DCS.

I think it is pretty cool for say doing cold starts. And for planes that have it, I could see using it whilst plane is on auto-pilot.

Excellent. Thank you for the replies. Can't wait to try it out. I'm so clumsy with those controllers though. Only had VR for a couple weeks. More important than ever not to rush a start-up, ha ha.

Yep, just tried it. Works for pushing buttons etc however some three way switches seem to be a bit of a pain to move.

Does anyone know how to turn off Haptic feedback for the touch controllers. This drains the batteries really quickly and gets annoying when trying to touch buttons on the UFC and MFD'S etc?

would be nice to see a video!!

Presumably this is still just oculus?

I tried with my LeapMOtion and it works !!

Yes less talk and get to work. Youtube is waiting for you guys.

You too, you are not exeption. Get to work, on the double!

Let's go, let's go.

That's actually great news.

That means all other VR controlerswill work as well like WMR or Vive.

Will be good if someone with VRfree gloves can confirm are they work or not.

Huh, so I need to go dig out my LeapMotion out of the garage? I haven't seen that thing in years.

I'll try leap motion tonight and report back

ok so i gave it a whirl tonight

the Vive controllers 'work' natively you can click by brushing the virtual hand against a cockpit instrument etc or go to pointer mode and use that. it was janky and difficult though.

leapmotion:

certainly it isnt native support. You cant just plug in leap and load dcs. The only way i could see to use my leap was to install the old driverleap from github with a new branch/fork from about 7 months ago that seems to work. I was then able to get my hands to exist in DCS however as a useable control option it was not even close to functional. The virtual hands were very skittish and moving around too much and not registering hand movements. I thought this could be useful as a hand reference to my to scale f18 cockpit but because the hands interact with anything they touch, if i'm trying to use real world switches and toggles at the same time i just got a confused mess of inputs. (random ufc buttons getting pressed by my warpy hands)

A useful option in vr settings in dcs might be to show the hands but not allow them to interact. this could be VERY useful for vr users with home cockpit setups.

Thanks for the report. Looks like I don't have to go looking for my leap motion

Hi to everyone.

Can someone put a link to a video, to another thread or write how to use the VR hands in cockpit?

I can only move the switch in one direction when I touched it. I can figure out how to move in the opposite direction or rotate knobs. I have a CV1.

Thank you.
