    Better VR views for 2024 - Image 1

    Description

    You'll probably like this add-on if: 

    • You prefer carefully calibrated VR views that are generally consistent across aircraft and easier to manage and remember
    • You want to turn your body with your controller and your head with your HMD for more side and over-the-shoulder visibilty
    • You're tired of having to move the mouse cursor away from VR panels to reliably use the throttle, ATC, mission steps, etc.
    • You prefer using a mouse over VR hand controllers and don't want the unnecessary compromises that come with them
       

    As it turns out, instrument views have all of these features in VR! This add-on simply overrides camera.cfg for selected 2024 aircraft, replacing the default instrument views with improved, VR-friendly alternatives you can use as primary cockpit views.

    To install: Unzip the zip file into a folder somewhere on your computer and drag the aircraft folders for the planes you want to improve (e.g. ~jazvrcam-asobo_c172sp_g1000) into the MSFS 2024 community folder for your install, then restart the simulator.

    To use: Use TOGGLE INSTRUMENT VIEW 1 as your primary cockpit view and map TOGGLE INSTRUMENT VIEW 1 up to 8 to your controls (see included images for recommended assignments). Use ROTATE X AXIS and ROTATE Y AXIS to turn your torso.

    Pro tip: Use COCKPIT / EXTERNAL VIEW MODE to switch to external view *before* switching to your first instrument view. This will ensure that any subsequent toggling of instrument views will return to the external view, not the crappy default cockpit view.

    Are you able to make one for the PC24 it feels like you are sitting soooo low with default cams

    jazbanter, does this also fix the excessive visual leaning when banking? I've wanted to try the same technique to fix that, but I figured there could be some drawbacks too.

    Hey michail71. Not sure as I don't think I've experienced that.
    If it fixes it, can you drop a comment here for others? Thanks!

    Hi, ok so far so good, I like the views straight to the EFB/Instruments etc but a couple of things I need help with, if I'm able to edit these on my end that would be great;

    1) The binding "VR - Cockpit Focus" no longer works when using one of your cameras.cfg files, how do I get that to work again? I still like to "focus" over to the co-pilots window for example.

    2) In practically every plane I always reset VR view to about 6 inches back away from the controls, (for example - eyepoint = -13,-1.2,2.19 ; (feet) in the C208b instead of -12.5 first value) only thing is then your views don't match up with the EFB/Instruments etc. Is there any way I can still sit back to where I want but then use your Views as they are designed to work?

    3) If the above are possible, could you please add the Cessna C408 Sky Courier

    Many Thanks :)

    Hi Pulley. Sorry for the hold up, was traveling for the holidays.

    1. Sadly "VR - Cockpit Focus" doesn't work in instrument views. That said, I've tried to bring the improved views close enough so that constant zooming is no longer required.

    2. To pull view 1 back, decrease the "z" value (the third value of InitialXyz) in the first view definition in cameras.cfg where SubCategory ="Instrument" (e.g. "1.047388" for the c208b).

    3. I didn't purchase the Deluxe edition (includes the c408) and until Asobo opens the marketplace I can't upgrade to it. I'll add the deluxe aircraft when marketplace is activated. Thanks!

    This looks excellent and just what I need to get around the poor VR implementation from Asobo, I'll have a play with it over the weekend and report back. Thank you very much for doing this
