waldorf Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi Can you tell me if the Harrier and Mirage flying controls will be usable with Oculus Touch hand controllers in the future?. Most other switches work fine, so would be good to have the full suite. Would it also be possible to have a rudder control mapped to the left hand Oculus Touch thumb stick?. Thanks for listening. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusedspine33 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Not sure if you have seen these. They are pretty amazing for VR flying. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218861 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldorf Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks Fusedspine33, yes, I have been following the progress of Point CTRL and it looks impressive. During these times of lockdown and deliberately forgetting to buy paint I have set myself a goal to go hardware free... casting my trusty Sidewinder FF2 aside and going VR total. I am having a lot of success using Oculus Rift and the virtual joystick plugin for Voiceattack. I control rudder inputs for ground steering by voice. F18 carrier landings and aeros in the Yak 52 are excellent fun, sadly my two fave planes, the M2000 and Harrier are unusable until VR control is available for stick and throttle. Another bonus for VR control is no joystick lag and I can stand up and fly thus getting exercise and relieving the st giles. If anyone is interested in trying it or needs help just ask.

Mars Exulte Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Maybe if you only want to fly, any combat activities or advanced system usage is going to require actual controls with lots of programmable buttons. And from a VR perspective, holding an actual flight stick in your hand with resistance buttons, etc is a lot more immersive than an imaginary stick with no physical feed back that feels nothing like a stick.

waldorf Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 “A man is nothing without dreams. A man is called idiot while he dreams. Whatever he does, he'll be judged and thrown away from the circle of clowns. And yet he needs acceptance and security from sick society, which is discriminatory far too often. But a man is blinded by other people opinions. He wants to fly and they say, “You moron, you can't do that, it's forbidden, it's stupid.” And a man gives up on his dreams.” ― Asper Blurry, Train to the Edge of the Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Orso Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 If you can use Oculus Touch controllers as stick and throttle, I don't think it will have anything to do with the module you are flying. Support for the Oculus Touch controllers will be through DCS above all else. If RAZBAM has a device-bind defined, you will be able to assign it to a Touch button to it. If DCS emulates Touch motion as analog stick and/or throttle input, you will be able to assign it to an axis RAZBAM has provided for assigning a stick or throttle lever to as well.

waldorf Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi, It seems to be module /maker specific: All the DCS modules I have work ok with stick and throttle, the F16 has recently been fixed with throttle movement. The two third party makers I have modules from e.g. Razbam and Aviojet don't have stick and throttle movement with Touch controllers. Stay safe.
