VR camera outside cockpit

[Bubba Fett]

When I load the game in VR it puts the camera outside the canopy about a foot to the right of it. If I turn on the limit VR camera it's pressed against the inside of the canopy on the right and the cockpit moves with my head.
I've tried using the number pad 5 button to reset my default VR view and it doesn't work. I've tried mapping that function to a button on my joystick as well. I've also tried redoing my guardian setup in the oculus software and that also doesn't help.

I had the game for more than 14 days before installing it so Valve won't do a refund.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

the reset vR view *should* fix it.

if your using a rift, press the button on the right controller and recentre via oculus software.

does this happen in every aircraft?

if the above doesn't work, put yourself in the correct position and hit f10 so save that location as your default.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, NUM 5 is the default key for resetting various cameras... it is not the key to reset your view in VR. There is an entirely separate control for this function called "Default VR View", which is found under the Pilot Head Controls section. I can't remember if it has a default setting or not, you might have to bind it yourself.

(If NUM 5 is in fact the default key for resetting VR, then I apologise for not being able to help!)

I did find the default VR view and I think it is numberpad 5, but I've also bound it to a button on my throttle.
The view seems to twitch like it's resetting, but doesn't really change position. It still wants to be outside the canopy or pressed against it if I've got the limit VR view on.

The thing that really bugs me is that Elite Dangerous, AeroFly, and DCS world all work fine but this game that looked like it might be interesting doesn't seem to work in VR and I've got no interest in playing it without VR.

did you try the f10 trick?

It works perfectly in VR because I play it all the time. It's just a small issue on your end that we need to figure out, that's all. Try what Orlok said and get back to us.

Still not sure what the F10 trick is, but it turns out that trying a different aircraft seems to be the solution. The Lagg 3 is the default aircraft that I was trying that was giving me problems. The others have the camera inside the canopy and seem to work properly. Not sure why that aircraft doesn't, but at least I can do some flying in VR now.

Now that I've got it working at a basic level I can start mapping controls to my hotas and start trying to learn the game.

It strobes like crazy when loading a mission. Is that another issue that's only affecting me, or does everybody get that? Once it's done loading and puts me on the briefing screen, it looks normal.

Using a Rift S with latest firmware and driver. 2070 with latest driver. 16 gigs ram, Win 10.

a. Google open composite dll. it'll stop the strobing and give a few more fps.

strobing in load screens is a current bug.

b. the f10 key saves your position to wherever your head is when pressed.

that will solve your issue

As Orlok says, pressing F10 saves the current position of your head as the default position. Then when you press your VR view reset key, it will return your view to this set position. You can use this to fix the Lagg, by physically moving until your head is back inside the cockpit, and then hitting F10 to save it as the default position.

With IL-2 or Steam VR? Until recently, SVR would show an empty zone with a loading box in the middle of your view which was fine. Then IL-2 was updated and I also had an SVR update, and the strobing started. I'm not sure which one is at fault.

[Bubba Fett]

I haven't seen the strobing in anything else so it seems like a IL-2 thing.

I'll try the F10 thing next time I run the game. (I don't do much gaming during the week but usually have plenty of time for it on weekends.)

@Goffik. you know, I'm actually not sure about that. I do know that it's been reported to devs.

Can you expand on A. above FREE HK Orklock?

America has HKs back my friend. Everyone but Democrats anyway.

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

if you have a rift there's a little app/dll called open composite VR. it enables one to not use Steam VR and might give a few fps too.

having alot of flipping or view flashes sometimes the cockpit recenters to left or right,but these view flashes are very annoying and driving me nuts thought it was new video card AMD 5700 so took it out and put old card back in AMD 570 8GB VR ready, but still getting these annoying flips ,any suggestins ?

sounds like the tracking might be off. does the ideas have inside out tracking? if so ensure your playspace is well lit.
