Annoying VR My team car Halo obstructs view

[munky]

In my team, my car's halo and steering wheel are very close together so if my chair or cockpit isnt in a pure formula seating possition, you cant get teh steering wheel aligned with the in game one wihtout the top of the halo right in front of your eyes

But when i go in TT or something to use the real cars - any car Merc, RB, Alpine etc the halo is in a good position and seems like a lot of room in between the halo and steergin wheel to actually see the track.

its nothing to do with the camera settings either, just physically less room in the My team car and very obvious in VR

So you're annoyed because you have to drive in a realistic way?

[Sem56]

you wanted VR...

[munky]

No u noobs.

the car in my team is a fake car, and it is the one that ITs cramped in VR and halo is close to the wheel so i cant align it as i want it unless i get a formula cockpit rig and lean back heaps i guess. Not everyone has a formual style cockpit too, although i have preordered one.

In all other games you can adjust the angle so that the wheel matches the in -game wheel more closely, to make the VR more immersive if you dont have a forumula seating position

Hell, in the non-VR mode you can adjust the angle in cockpit view too, to match your setup for more immersion, so why can i do that in VR mode?

But thats'besides the point, as the real cars (i.e the IRL team cars in time trial as opposed to the My team Car) dont have this problem in VR and i can adjust camera so i can have my wheel same position as real life physical wheel and still see surroundings. It could just be the my team car uses a certain chasis that has difference internal dimensions but i am not sure which one.

oh ♥♥♥♥ ya got me... ya called me a noob, how am i going to get to sleep tonight

I've never been called a noob before, what do I do now.

The first pic is the my team car, and the second one is the Mercedes,
They were both screenshotted in non-VR mode so they match. All the camera settings are the same and unchanged in both pictures.

But you can clearly see the My team car seat is pitched back or tilted back so the steering wheel is higher and you can see less of the front of the car

The mercedes car wheel is lower and you can see the top side of it more, and also more of the front of the car which means the seat is angled forwards - closer to a normal seated position.

The halo sections match and so do the wheels, so i think the only diference is the angle is different. But then im not sure the halo should match so closely either if the angle were different.

This wouldnt be a problem normally ithink, but you cannot change the seating angle in VR which makes it stupid.

Don’t bother Josh&Sems reaction, both are bit of a.. single brain cell person.

I remember somewhere in the settings, I play cockpit view but just single screen, u can change the seating position, could be wrong but I really thought somewhere in the settings u could do it. Though I don’t know if it includes for VR.

Other tip I’ve heard elsewhere, that u lean more backwards, reset the camera and sit good again, don’t know the routine of it or how it exactly works as I don’t have VR.

just sit forward or backwards and hit the recenter vr button till you find a good position.

Sure thats what i always do, the VR camera settings are the baseline. I make the necessary adjustments up down left right with VR reset, but I am pretty sure you cannot adjust the pitch angle, which is the seat angle. As tilting your head up and down cannot adjust angle, as that requires an additional centre reference point i think.

We need to be able to adjust the angle in VR. I have an armchair setup, so people in normal chairs with a desk would defeinitely be unable to adjust the view properly for any of the cars. I dont know why this hasnt been mentioned before.

In AMS2 and rfactor 2 you can adjust angle in VR. And also F122 non-VR mode it is under the camera setting ''Angle'' , which is the one missing from VR camera settings

If i understand correctly your problem, try to look a bit down when you reseting your VR, i mean look down and press VR recenter button. I always do that, if not than it looks a bit like i'm always going into hill, but by looking a bit down it fixes that.

I don't know if that was changed with path 1.06, did not tried, but patch 1.05 work like that

You don't need to shift your head around and use resets to adjust the position every time, you can use the camera settings to permanently change the center position in VR. Then you can just reset from a comfortable sitting position and it will be right.

It's true you can't adjust the angle. But it looks like the main difference in the pictures you posted is that the Mercedes view is quite a bit further back and higher. Angle should mostly take care of itself as you physically look toward the track.
