Problem with VR

[Drano]

I generally fly in a fairly dark room. I had some tracking issues with the Rift S with lights off. I got a little ir illuminator on Amazon, pointed it at the ceiling. Problem solved.

I can't take credit for coming up with it! Read it on a forum somewhere. The Rift S has internal cameras that do the tracking and they see IR light pretty well. I verified it using the pass thru feature where you can use the cameras to switch from VR to be able to look around the room without taking off the headset. In the dark room with the IR illuminator on I can see everything. So the cameras see what they need to see to track my head.

Can you make the VR logon a bit less clunky please?
Once my headset is on I dont want to have to take it off.

Don't understand what's the issue. On the Rift S I am not using the touch controllers for anything in AH unless I need to use the pass thru thing to look around the room but that's not on the outskirts of clear vision. Typing is a problem. Voice attack works great for various commands but regular typing yields a lot of word salad more often than not. I end up deleting stuff it types or tries to with a command that works great for deleting!

I'm still using the mouse tho. That's easy enough to find in front of me. At logon I just save both of my creds on the login screen, move the mouse cursor dot to click OK and click the left mouse button. That's how I'm navigating the menus, hangar, etc., with the headset on. Easy enough. Bring up the clipboard and the mouse cursor appears. The clipboard is up at login. Just point your head to move the cursor at the thing you want to click on and click the mouse. Bingo.

Hey Brother, I feel you... but when that happens, I press the main menu button (for rift it is right touch controller menu button) not sure for vive. But when the positioning is messed up, press that menu and instead of clicking "quit app?" Click "reset sensor tracking " or "reset view".
Do that and you are right as rain...

You are a graveyard killer my friend.. A true Ace of Aces.. His prop doesnt start spinning until after 2am... pst that is... Pleasure to fly with you good sir.. sorry for my illness... Im suffering from non stop Shotdownism..

And yeah I just have the same center view button for VR mapped to my stick that I had mapped for TIR before. That way I didn't have to relearn anything. In my case at login the clipboard is usually way high and close up to use so I just click the reset view button and it's back to where I can use it.
