Title: Rift question
Post by: Copprhed on October 09, 2016, 02:25:50 PM
Tried my first bombing run with the Rift. Looks great, but you can't see calibration/bombs/speed. Am I doing something wrong? Also when I dropped, the bombs fell to the right of where I thought I had aimed them. Also sometimes I can get the Rift pipper to sit right when trying to select ALL/Country etc on the chat bar, other times it's off. TIPS PULEEEEEZE????

The radio buffer selection can be tricky, I use dot commands if I can't click it easily.

To see calibration from the bomb site hold "forward view" KP8, or"up" KP5, or any hat view and look around until you see it. I see it at 12 o'clock with the forward view but I can't move it to a better position.

You have a dominant eye, probably the right eye.

Dominant right eye = aim is to the left of the target
Dominant left eye = aim is to the right of the target

The bombsite seems problematic as it is really in your face, where as the fighter gunsights not so. I actually see two crosshairs in the bombsite (which is odd as I'm left eye dominant) and aim for half way between them.

Same thing might apply with the Rift pipper.

Do you wear glasses? If not you should probably get your eyes checked out.

How do you center the danged bomb sight? I was looking dead over it, had everything lined up hunkey dory and the bombs landed way to the right.

HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPP! I cannot aim worth a DAMN with the Oculus. My aim was bad enough as it was, but now, it's truly abysmal.
