Reverb G2 - only left/right head turn - no forward/backward/up/down

[KarsPilot79]

Hi, I'm new to IL2 and am using the reverb G2.

 

It's only registering turning head left/right but not registering moving head up/down or forward and backward. Is this common and normal behaviour? I'm used to MSFS in which you can move your whole head around and move your body forward/backward/left/right etc.

 

Thank you!

No, try clearing the environment in the WMR settings and restarting the software again.

It is not normal. In single player you can set "head without restrictions" and move your head though walls. In multiplayer this is mostly disabled. There you have small invisible box where you can move your head, and not more. It is pretty restrictive, and different in each plane.

 

If you can not move your vr head at all, then something is wrong with your system.

I guess you may need new vr calibration in windows mixed reality portal.

It looks like this is happening, but as far as I know, I'm just in single player, but the head restrictions seem to be multiplayer. Am I missing something..? (I only tried the Spitfire)

 

How do I set "head without restrictions"? 

Just to clarify: it's like my body is tied to the seat. I can move my head up/down/left/right, but I can't look closer to the instruments or peek over the dashboard by raising my body, etc.

It sounds just as it works good. You can move your head in all directions, but not too much. Just like if you have huge helmet  That is normal. 

 

That head restriction is under Camera / Limit VR view.

Set without this, and try single player.

Once you get full view going, follow this guide as it's well written for the ReverbG2.    It's made the game much more playable.

Are you using steam VR? I have the same problem when using steam VR so I use the  open xr toolkit and opencomposite which gives better performance anyway.

But you should be able to translate your head sideways or toward the instrument panel right? Or raise your head a bit to peek over the dashboard. That's not possible in my situation. 

 

Yes, I'm using SteamVR. I will try to use open toolkit and see if that solves the issue. Thank you for your advice.

@unlikely_spider’s recommendation should fix it. Open WMR settings in windows and clear environment.

If you are not having this problem in the hangar (pre-flight) and menus then it is not related to out-of-game settings. If it works well in the menus and not in the cockpit then there's a cockpit camera mode in IL-2 that enforces exactly this situation when used in VR. This is selected under settings/camera/default view - I don't recall which one of the modes causes translation to be disabled but you can basically just press the "Default" button in that menu and it should reset to a usable state.

In the hangar I'm also not able to look closer or further. Only left/right/up/down...

SOLUTION OF COMRADE_WENG FIXED MY ISSUE. Thank you so much.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully you get a performance boost too. Make sure to check out the open xr toolkit to tweak a bit more. There's a couple of guides out there.
