slickdevel Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Once in a while, the ability to slide from side to side disappears, all other movements work fine. It becones impossible to "check six" as the headrest is always in the way.Re-centering does not activate it. Sometimes it will correct itself, sometimes it gets frustrating.

slickdevel Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks, I would think that also but a window on the right side with the sun shining in, lamp on the left and an overhead ceiling light keep the room bright. Even at night with no window light I generally have no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motomouse Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 If this happens to me once in a while I recenter a seated position in Mixed Reality-Portal.

slickdevel Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 OK, how to recenter without leaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansangb Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 OK, how to recenter without leaving? In Settings (where you assign controls to planes), there is one for UI Layer In there, you'll be able to bind a key (stick or keyboard) for VR Recenter. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdevel Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 I've had that since day on on the Reverb, doesn't fix the problem. Thanks for offering though! Getting out of the game and WMR, restarting gets a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed-of-heat Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 This is most often because, for whatever reason the headset has lost tracking... Light, contrast are your friends for maintaining tracking, as are going into windows home to set the headset up before going into game.

Motomouse Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I just take the Reverb off. Click on the Mixed Reality Portal and click the icon with the HMD in the upper left. There I select the seated position (because it is just a click this way to recenter). Ready to put Reverb on again without leaving DCS.

Eaglewings Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Motomouse approach is best fix for this 3dof tracking loss problem that often creeps up. After doing the room scale on the wmr portal, you will most likely be outside the cockpit when you return in-game. Re-centering view put you back in the cockpit with 3DOF movement restored. Sometimes swinging the headset fast around will make it snap in into 3dof mode.

slickdevel Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Def, I'll try the fast movement of the headset but I'll take it off and twirl it in my hand a bit! I can do it much quicker with less neck strain that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnars Driver Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I get this problem a lot more often now than I did before. Using appropriate lighting(all lamps in the room = on) used to make it almost never happen. After the summer I get this problem on and on again. It can be enough to look to the left or right to both get the position changed to wrong position and the 6DOF go to 3DOF. The time to get movement forward, to the side and up/down depends. It also seems that in the begining of a DCS session it most times starts with 3DOF only. Very irritating when knowing it worked much better from the day I got the Reverb. BTW.

Reposition in DCS is numpad 5., Yeah, I noticed this too that over time, the reverb seems to be losing 6DOF much more frequently with the same lighting. Early on it rarely happened. Now it's happening a lot. I find that I can often get it to reset back to 6DOF by looking straight up at the ceiling. I find this happens less at night than during the day. I think at night, the lighting in my room is pretty static. But during the day as the sun moves - the brighter light seems to affect it more. I've found that pulling the shades down and relying more on the interior light seems to help. But not solve it completely. I'm hoping the G2 will solve this since it has more tracking cameras.

Sometimes swinging the headset fast around will make it snap in into 3dof mode. I've actually found the exact opposite to be true. It's when I'm moving my head around quickly i.e. during BFM or clearing for missiles - that it loses the 6DOF the most often. Also when I'm looking down into the cockpit to find a switch in the more aft locations on the side panels does it also seem to go haywire. I must be losing light when looking straight down or something.

slickdevel Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 In closing, I've had time to work this out. Taking the headset off and twisting it can get everything working again, or not. The quick and easy fix that I have found is to look to the right wingtip and hit the center vr button then look at the left wingtip, center the vr again , finally look straight ahead and for the last time hit center vr and all is good! Takes two seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
