VR view always centered with HP Reverb G2 since reinstall

[Jagdflieger152]

I had to completely reinstall IL-2 because it quit working. One big problem I've not been able to resolve since the reinstall is VR head movement. I have the HP Reverb and since day one I have been able to move about in VR without constraint. I play offline, so cheating is no concern. There was something magical about turning the autopilot on and standing on the wing of my favorite planes and taking in the view.
Since the reinstall, all head movement is constrained so the whole cockpit moves. It's not even a matter of head bumping up against the glazing. I can't even move in closer to the gauges or gunsight. The cockpit is always centered.
I would very much appreciate any insight into this problem. I've researched and tried everything that I could find. But it doesn't fix the problem.

 It sounds like you need to recentre the headset, maybe go through the setup calibration again.

The calibration is fine. The problem is the VR head position is fixed to a single point in space. It was not like this before. For instance, I could move my head closer to the gauges or gunsite. Now the whole cockpit view moves. I can't look more closely at anything. It's quite annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Before I could stand up and move about outside of the cockpit in VR. Now the head is in a fixed position in space. I don't know what changed...

Try this:

"Under camera settings there is a "Limit VR View" option, turn that off.

Then enable "Spectators" in difficulty settings."

If the calibration and everything else mentioned in the thread is OK then the last thing to check is the type of cockpit camera selected in the camera settings. I don't recall which one causes what you mention but I do remember that one of them exhibits exactly the behaviour you describe.

I choose "centered quick views" when I play in vr mode...

SOLVED!!
Thank you all for your help.
I found that my problem was with Steam VR Mixed Reality Portal. I've had the HP Reverb for about 3 years now and the Steam VR has certainly been improved and updated since then. My problem was that I did not have the Room Boundary set up. There had been a software update and I had missed this. There was no such feature before.
Now it works as it should, better than ever!
Thanks again,
