Here's a VR doozy...perhaps this has been mentioned before so I apologize

I click on Steam...Start IL-2 in VR, put on Oculus Rift-S, get to the menu.  I press my UI interface joystick button to center my VR centerpoint, and it does so, all is good.  I choose Career and eventually I start up and voila...I'm on the right side of the cockpit off to the side...almost 8-10 inches off.  I press my UI interface re-center button and it stays 8-10in off center once again.  I can overcome this by leaning further to the right and down to re-center but it's never accurate.  When I press the menu button on my OR-S handheld to center the viewpoint in the OR interface, it puts me right back where I started, 8-10in to the right.  I've re-centered the OR-S several times but I know I'm missing something.  Is there a good setup tool for Steam that I need to go through?  It's not easy to spot if it's there...

 

Is this a Steam issue?  DCS always knows where I am and puts me in the cockpit centered every time.  Once I'm back out of the game to the menu/hangar, if I've leaned further to the right to rectify the issue...the menu is off to the right as if I've moved to the left quite a bit.  Once again all I have to do is center my viewpoint with my UI interface button that I mapped and voila, the map and the menu are all centered as they should be with the menu of choices off to the right.

I suspect you just need to adjust your quick views (setting in IL2). I believe the default key is F10 (I have changed mine to prevent accidentally hitting it while in VR). 

Move in the physical world such that your head is where you want it to be in the game world, then press the quick view button. You may need to do this for multiple planes.

You can adjust seat position with F10 while VR is active?  Didn't know that, thanks.

Will try this later this afternoon after work.  Thanks.

I cant hit my F10 by accident on my 60% keyboard. Lucky me ?

 

But thanks for the advice. I also have to lean to the right to center correct.

That sucked and didn't work.  There must be a way to adjust the config file to center the headset in VR mode.  I went to DCS and it was square on.  WTH?

Nevermind, I figured it out...must have pressed that button a while back.  You have to gradually get yourself back to where you want and eventually you'll be back in the right seat.  Thanks a ton, i wouldn't have figured that out that quickly.
