First impressions

[marklar]

I did a quick test today and I am very impressed. The game runs quite smooth on normal graphics settings, frames don't drop below 90fps. Well done developers.

There are two annoying things, though:

 

First, the cockpit room for head movements is too small. I cannot lean forward to look closer through a gun sight because the entire cockpit is moving with my head. It does not feel natural and causes dizziness.

Second, every time I touch the cockpit frame with my virtual head I hear a bump sound effect. When looking around the cockpit I hear this sound every other second. It sounds like someone is trying to smash my canopy with a hammer. Please tell me this sound can be turned off.

Hmm I did not notice that in the zoom - seems to work well for me -  did you assign VR Zoom?

 

You can disable the cockpit restriction for head movement.

It was disabled by default. I enabled it but nothing changed. Will try to disable restrictions again.

 

I have not tried VR zoom yet.

Yea I really hope we can turn the sound off someday. I'm fine with bumping my head but my goodness is the sound effect loud and often.

Rift here too. The only time the cockpit moves forward with my head is when the game is paused. The other thing that could cause it is if your Rift sensor is out of sight.

Mostly no problems here but had an issue this morning with the view moving backwards when I leaned forward. Next mission it had resolved itself. Edited April 12, 2017 by HagarTheHorrible

Apart from unchecking the cockpit VR restriction, make sure the option to allow external views is CHECKED in difficulty section.  These two are related for Multiplay functionality.

Agreed, totally fine with the head restriction and know that it will be required on Expert servers. But quickly got tired of the continuous klonk-klonk-klonk while dogfighting. Would really like to be able to turn the sound of it down/off.

I fully agree about the annoying head bump sound.

I definitly think we should be able to disable the sound in the game options.

I disabled the head restriction first thing so have not really experienced it as of yet, based on what I am hearing on the bumping sound may just leave it off for now as I fly only SP at this time.

Hi all, only got the sim today but is there anyway to reset the VR head position as I just cant find that option.

 

Cheers

[OrLoK]

Yes! I think its under the cameras tab. It took me a while to locate it as well, but it *is there*.

 

I cant access IL2 at the moment, so you'll have to go hunting for it for now

I now fly with it off, the *clunk* is so loud and not always quite in the correct place, flying with head bounds of, for me, is fine as I rarely accidentally go into/through the mesh.

Neither do I , I don't think this old body is quite that agile any more LOL.
