binding numpad5 on joystick for center doesnt worK?

[=RSS=ChaosTripleZero]

so numpad 5 on the keyboard works fine to center my view position.

how ever, weh n i try to map center view to my joystick hotas... it doesnt do anything in game, and on my HMD (rift)i have to peek through my nose  to hit the numpad5 key...

For VR you should use "Default VR view" instead. It's not mapped by default to any key.

there are 2 ways for doing it:

- use the in-game Default VR view. It works ONLY when you're in the plane, so it's a bit limited if you want to be able to center VR view in the menu, i.e. u can't.

 

- use joy2key to map the Num5 to any button on the joystick. It works everywhere in menus/game/plane and I recommend this option wholeheartedly.

I have "Default VR view" mapped to a button on my stick, works very well.

It's not true. "Default VR view" works everywhere, including the main menu. I have it mapped to my mouse middle button and it's the only button I use to centre a view.

interesting, for some reason this particular option wasn't working at all at first, and then only started working inside the plane. May be I had a conflict in the bindings somewhere... hmm.. well.. I use j2k for a bunch of other stuff so it seemed like a good idea at the time

Yes it works fine in menu for me as well.
