@AviationPlus I hear ya…I would of preferred to swap DCS switching over… But currently this is not an option. At least I can standardise the switching mechanics for both games with the bms invert option…

RE: g_nIntuitiveSwitches vs. g_nInvertRotaries
@Razor161 said in g_nIntuitiveSwitches vs. g_nInvertRotaries:
g_nIntuitiveSwitches
I like the g_nIntuitiveSwitches function, except it does not invert the switch “Drift C/O - Norm” on the ICP. This switch remains as Left Click up…Right Click Down.
Thanks again.

RE: Knocking the mouse on the floor in VR annoying you ?
@SemlerPDX I tried that, however I am twisting my neck too much as it is… :). I also tried the track ball on the left side, and I am not a fan. I got another touch pad for the left side and that suits me, as it reduces the game of twister.
I also inverted the left/right mouse click to match DCS since it has no option to invert mouse clicks. (Thanks BMS).

RE: Button mapping gets lost 4.37
You need to select the correct saved file in the main game -> setup… ie Load… then select the same name as saved in the Launcher.

After the initial install, I had to do this before it worked.

RE: Knocking the mouse on the floor in VR annoying you ?
@Snake122 I’ll try the track ball on the left side. I was thinking of adding a second trackpad on the left. I’ll give the unused trackball a try, definitely worth adding a second device to the left for the switches.
Thanks for the info.

Knocking the mouse on the floor in VR annoying you ?
Since reliable hand tracking is years away for all of the VR games I play, and knocking the mouse on to the floor has gotten old, I have decided purchase and use a trackpad.
First, I tried a trackball to replace the mouse. I am not sold of this device, as my mouse real-estate zone is pretty small, and I would still knock that off while fumbling for it in VR.
Now I am testing the humble old (New item) track pad. These have improved a lot over the years, and I see multi-finger tracking is working a lot better than the last time I used one. Which had no multi-finger tracking… yes I am old…
Currently, I am using a very thin track pad with no buttons. I have only been using it for a week and already my old brain has adapted very quickly… 1 finger tap= switch up… 2 finger tap = switch down. Also, I am yet to knocked it off my mouse pad area. Plus as the item does not move I can always find it in a hurry.
Negatives, I am not as precise in placing the cursor (yet). But the switches in BMS are of a magnetic style, so this has not been an issue. Still, the lack of quick precision is still worth noting.
I also use Voice attack for menu driven selections… i.e. COMMs, Ending Missions… etc. I do not want to use it to flip switches in the pit… i.e. KIT, Turn battery ON… :). See I am old.
I hope this helps in giving other VR users some more ideas/options on how to interact in VR.

RE: Pimax Crystal BMS experience
@Archer Do all the 2d screens sit to the hard left for you ? i.e. Front Screen/Campaign Screen etc. Any idea on how to move them would be welcomed, as I am getting a sore neck… lol.

RE: Mouse cursor for x and y axis on warthog not centering and going all over the place.
This might be an option if all else fails.
https://deltasimelectronics.com/This is a very good solution… No soldering… Unscrew, unplug and bin the original… Plug in Delta Sim replacement, screw back up… recal…
Have never looked back…

RE: BMS 4.34 crash on launching the game [Solved]
I have the same bug… I am on windows 10 Pro… Latest NVIDIA drivers… Gen 8 CPU…Gen 9 motherboard…3 screens… Only use one. Etc
I found that if I set the avionics to external displays… In the configuration tool… Hardware…I think… Currently not at the PC…
This opens a heap of avionics screens, which just sit in the background… Do not close them… Ever… It seems to break the fix.
Now it starts ok.

RE: Tacview – Understand what happened during your last flight! (alternative ACMI viewer)
I there a way to record the mission to tacview without using the ACMI recording (VHS)… reason is , that is takes so long to wait for the ACMI for download after a game… and that is with a SSD. Anyway love this tool…
Also Sting, I got your VHS recording to work on Balkans.
1. Ensure you have not edited (and it is present) the file Data-Falcon4Theaters.xml. eg :-C:\Program Files (x86)\Stra Software\Tacview\Data\Xml\ Data-Falcon4Theaters.xml
2:- Open Tack view and manually set it to Falcon 4.0 :- Under Options/Terrain
3:- Now, select Open File and at the bottom of the Open File pop-up window, set the Falcon 4.0 Theatre Drop down to Balkans.
4:- Then select you VHS file and open.
5:- Watch the magic happen. -

RE: OBS buttons bound to Warthog by default
Not a fan of target either, but I have a problem trying to get the Coolie Hat to detect in falcon. … but if I set joystick as main… the coolie hat is not seen. If I set the throttle as main, they are seen as the trim switch. If I Is there a trick to this ? it works on other games…
don’t worry found the problem… only one POV can be mapped…
