Zoom in VR

[15[Span.]/JG51Costa]

S. to all.

Do you know if it is possible to assign the zoom to the head movement in the Oculus Rift?

Thank you in advance.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but there is a VR zoom function in the controls settings screens that you can assign to a button/key or whatever so you can use it while in VR with your Rift or other VR headset.  It's only about a 2x zoom ATM, but there's a thread where people are requesting the devs to increase the zoom power/level if possible (see here:  https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/32163-suggestion-better-zoom-vr/?hl=zoom#entry546128 )

Yes put it right on my hat switch.

Thank you very much and sorry for not explaining correctly. English is not my native language. I remember that when I used the trackIr I could assign the zoom to the Z axis of forward and backward movement of my head.

This was achieved by editing a line of the current actions file in BoS \ data \ input folder.

 

bc_head_zoom, trackir_axis_z, 0 | // Pilot head: zoom

 

So when I get close to the collimator things became big and when I separated things became smaller, without the need to press a button.

I asked my self if it can be achieved in VR.

Thanks

I would think that what you are asking for would be very nauseating.

 

I don't believe it is possible.

 

If you want to get closer to the gunsight, just lean up to it (caveat - you will hit an invisible barrier in due to VR view restrictions). No zoom required.

 

Want 2x zoom on top of that, press a button.

I’m afraid you are right.

Thank you.

All we need now is 3x or 4x zoom. To ease IDing planes and get to a level playing field in identication with those who don't use VR.

[15[Span.]/JG51Costa]

Agree.

4x Zoom is a must in VR.

 

Saludos.

How to implement more zoom (if it could be done) ?

 

Press and hold a button to increase zoom? or step through Zoom modes?

 

I really liked the very arcadey but informative PiP view that Wings of prey gave one (when underattack) . Ie lock onto a *dot* and a PiP appears for 3 secs showing the aircraft. I bet you guys would hate that though...

Put 4x zoom function right beneath 2x zoom function in key settings. We can then pick the one we want, or even use both.

I made a better user configured zoom work with my mod (I set it at x2, x5 and x10, but maybe the late setting is a bit too extreme, I still had to test it a bit...) but bas news: it works with my OSVR but not with the Rift. I do not understand why it is not working with Rift, but as I do not have one, there is few that I can do..

This is a new version, using vertex shader instead of pixelshader, so détails are fine for each lebel of zoom. Really a game changer...

If someone is using a Vive it mat works...

I will update the post next week, when I will have test it more than few minutes :https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/30556-3dmigoto-mod-vr/
