VR you say - yawn
Does the headset tilt/look control the arm movement or does it require a seperate controller input?

No, for immersion you don't want that. Think of it like a flight sim. Imagine if headset movements moved the yoke!

I use headset to look around the cockpit and out of the windows. I have a twin throttle. One stick for throttle, the other for leg movement. I also use mouse for aim shoot. You can use joystick for aim, but I'm hopeless with that.

I wish I could use my rudder pedals to turn legs though. That would see most intuitive, but no option seems to exist.

Playing in 3d is great too.

I got the pedals to move legs with my t.16000m set. Boy is it hard to aim and control though! Pedals are very sensitive. I am starting to get used to it, but honestly I may go back to mouse and keyboard. The support is not the greatest in this game.

How did you get the pedals working?

Always thought this series was made for VR long before it was a thing. Will have to start thinking about getting it now.

I used the google doc from this link to set up the pedals/joystick/throttle https://mw5mercs.com/resources/2020/01/31-peripheral-resources

I have a HP Reverb, but I have not tried this game in VR. I saw there was a mod for it, and I guess it works good? I'll have to try it later.

Bah, tried that. didn't work. The rudder just doesn't show up, even after going through the step by step.

I'm not a modder, and I am no good at this type of stuff.

BRO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IKR !!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing in VR. I cant stop playing it now. OMG this is every Battletech fans dream come true. To be inside the Battle Mechs. Like a true Mechwarrior!! I use it with Voice attack. To control some of the Mechs functions. I also got 52 mods working with it . It all works in VR. Including the clan invasion mod, and the YAML series. YES!!! the clan mechs also work in VR ! I have logged 30+ hours in it. Just this week alone LOL. Thank goodness the awesome VR mod author , only made the missions in vr. I would hate to spend the menu time in VR too. Needless eye fatigue! Believe me I hear your happiness and raise you an Atlas sized hooray !

This was meant to be in VR! I use a keyboard and mouse, but i just use wasd, tab and spacebar. The rest is all voice activated with voice attack. I even added in Betty sound effects when i use the Voice attack commands.Really feels like i am there. Wish the actual game was a little better optimized, but cant have everything i guess lol. Have a great time friend . I know I will :)

P.S. Davion for LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD Guess what i am doing today/.......more MECHWARRIOR LOLOOLOL

P.s.s. Do need STRONG VR legs for this. Which thank godness I do. The melee never bothered me, but I read a lot of comments saying that it makes people motion sick. Thankfully never had any problems like that in VR......Guess I was born to be a true Mechwarrior. I imagine the hate , if any. Comes from little girls who get motion sick hahahahahaha. Stay home let the big boys tame the Innersphere for you !

Sorted! For anyone else struggling: don't label it as rudder in the Out(in)put. Label it as a joystick axis.

:davion: The tripple-F is the finest burger there is. Such rumors of food poisoning is nothing but propaganda from the enemies of the Federated Commonwealth.

Your attempt at trying to smear House Davion, only proves that you are a antagonist who does not value the true Honor, Pride, and Honesty that is inherent - in the Davion bloodline.

Tête de citrouille :nwquest:
