How do I re center view in VR?

[SCG_motoadve]

I press 5 and nothing happens, I am starting the flght on the right side of the cockpit , not behind the gunsight, and a bit backwards.

The key mapping is in Settings > Key Mapping > Pilot head control tab > Default VR view.

Thanks , that worked, now is there a way to adjust the seat in VR ? a bit forward or higher etc?

i usually just physically move to offset and then recenter.

Ex, if I want to move closer forward, I move further back than where I normally sit, and press reset. Then when I sit normally again, im further forward in game.

Its pretty jank I know but works

You caan but not in VR mode.

 

so go into monitor mode and use the numpad keys to move

press f10 to save it

go back to VR mode and then itll default to what you set in monitor mode

That is what I do if needed when I first climb into the cockpit, easy and quick. Once set it stays there throughout my gaming session in BoS.

Why don't you set it permanently like 19//SAG said in one post above yours?

Well I suppose I could, but really it is just a quick press of a button on my stick so not really a big deal to me.

I have a bunch of common functions mapped to my joystick (Thrustmaster T-Filght), but the numberpad 5 center button will not work on the joystick.  I also tried mapping it to a key I could reach like 0 , but it still won't work.  Everything else I remapped works fine.  Does anyone else have this problem, or an idea of what is wrong?

Can you not map it to re-center vr view instead?

[Schmehl]

Sorry, I guess I'm using the wrong terminology.  I set the re-center vr view (numberpad-5 by default) to a button on my joystick, but it doesn't work.  I tried mapping it to different buttons, also tried mapping it to ctrl-and a button, but none work.  Everything else I mapped to the stick works fine (landing gear, flaps, rpm adjust, navigation lights, bomb drop, etc..)  I can't think of why this one button would be different.

I am not talking about numpad 5, but the re-center view assignment in the BOS controller setup menu. I believe it is under Pilot Head Control tab, listed as " Default VR View".

I mapped that, along with VR Zoom, to buttons on my stick/throttle.

Thanks much, that solved the problem.

You are most welcome, have fun!

When in VR I am very close to the instruments in the Bf 109 E-7, but very far back in the Bf 109 G-2 when I hit the re-center view.  I turned off VR and reset my view and hit F10 to save it.  When going back to VR it is still as it was originally.  I have adjusted the VR view like some of you guys mentioned above and that works okay.  Sometimes in the heat of battle after turning a lot the center is a bit off and pressing re-center centers me on the gun sight, but far back again.  Does anyone have an idea how to correct this?

Forgot to add the actual question at the end.

You may want to launch the game in non-VR mode again and check if your settings have been correctly saved. I dont have this issue. I did set up all planes I'm flying in non-VR mode and all works fine in VR after that.

 

Also make sure you are using the pilot head movement and not the zoom when setting up the view. 

 

As a side note, for german planes it's much better to set your default view on the center of the plane and not on the gunsight. Makes it much more useable and less distracting.

Thanks Black_Sab.  Apparently I was using zoom and that solved it.  Thanks for the assistance.
