New Player (Rift S) Need setup Tips!

[NotOnlyforDCS]

Hi Everyone!

 

I've recently started playing (yesterday lol) came from DCS World, where I got sick of very little progress with the WWII modes. So I'm wondering how to best configure my VR experience and could really appreciate the help. I bought BoS and Bodenplatte through Steam so Im using SteamVR currently. Is there an alternative to SteamVR? 

Another question, what are decent settings for my rig? And maybe most importantly how do I configure VR zoom? I've looked at the keymaps, and there are a LOT of Zoom options, but Im just looking for a simple VR zoom similar to what's available in DCS: World.

My rig:

Win10 64bit

i5-9600K

32GB Ram

RTX2060

Oculus Rift S

(MSFFB2, Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals)

 

Thanks in advance!

Ok managed to find some good resources here on the forums regarding VR setup. 

 

However VR zoom still baffles me? Is it possible to bind a button to a certain level of zoom that works in VR and that resets to normal view when the button is let go? 

 

What I need: Press+Hold "Zooms IN", release button "Zooms to Normal"

This is how the five ingame VR zoom binds work - personally I use levels 1, 3 and 5 on three different buttons.

As previously mentioned there are 5 levels of VR Zoom that you can assign to buttons on your HOTAS. When you release the button it goes back to your default view.

Also in the same section you can assign "Default VR View". That basically resets your view to what you have as default.
