VR Motion Cancellation - Time to test!

I have the Oculus with the right touch controller mounted to the top of my seat. I am still a little confused about the proper OpenVR settings. I understand that I am supposed to set the motion control to "Set Zero" but am I using the HMD or the controller as the item for OpenVR to concentrate on? I have tried both ways and I dont really see a lot of difference in the two which leads me to believe that I am doing something wrong somewhere else in the setup.
Open Steam then Steam VR
Start DCS
Start OpenVR with the following settings: Device = (not sure), Default = motion compensation, Motion Compensation Settings = set zero. Wait for controller and HMD to be recognized by Steam VR then hit apply

When doing it this way it works OK for driving but flying is very frustrating. I think it has to do mostly with the sway motion which causes me to wind up sitting angled in the seat until the sim returns to starting position. I am using the Oculus CV-1 with two sensors and I have set up room scale in both steamVR and the Oculus software. I have good signal to the sensors and I have the touch controller mounted to the seat as close to the center of my play area as I can get it. I am open to all suggestions, constructive criticisms, or help of any kind.

Would using 2 trackers on either side of the head improve accuracy? If so, any chance this is on the roadmap - or is it already supported?

Hello,

I can't get motion cancellation working in Steam VR, everytime when I try to set the device mode to "motion compensation" and click apply I get this error message:

could not set device mode: unknown error

Any ideas whats going wrong here? I tried it with my right Controller and I'm using V1.3 of the Input Emulator.

Kind regards

not sure but here are my settings;

Device = (serial number)_Controller_Right(Controller)
Status = Motion Compensation (This will say Default until you click apply)
Device Mode = Motion Compensation
Device offsets (I dont touch this one)
Motion Compensation Settings = Set Zero
Render Model = Disabled
Input Remapping = no inputs

Make sure steam VR can see your headset and your controller and make sure neither one are flashing when you click "Apply"

Thats the best I can do, hope it helps

You could try verifying your Steam VR files.

hi,

it seems there is an problem with the new steam Version and the Input Emulator.
When the Emulator is installed my Steam VR only starts in safe mode, when I uninstall the input emulator all is fine.

Would there be an update on the Emulator, it seems to be a little outdated...?

Kind regards

It's a known problem since this SteamVR update went into beta a month ago.

InputEmulator pull request 130 has a recent comment linking to tentative release zip file that supposedly gets it working again.

Hi,

thanks for the fast response. I will try this.

Thank you! I'm glad it looks like there is a solution, I'll be trying it soon and will report back with my results.

PS- I have the same issue described by others above, since the SteamVR update.

Hi,

with the given workaround it's working and the error message regarding the steam VR system is gone.

Excellent! I can't get to this tonight but I reposted the link in the github thread where this conversation also came up.

Oh men, thank you so much for this tutorial! It worked out perfekt for me in DCS World with the newest steamVR version. Only thing was, that i did´nt got a prompt from OpenVR for binding the tracker (did it manually, all fine)

Great to know this is working. I have been watching the github thread and just not allowing SteamVR to update itself. Seems Matzman66 has gone MIA so no telling if this project will continue. I wouldn't mind throwing some money at this to keep it alive.

Also IN for donate to keep this pearl alive.
I was very suprised about the accuractiy of this Tool.
Both motion cancelling and vive tracking works with no delays oder black areas in my Pit.
I installed only two lighthouses, however tracking and cancelling works perfect even when one lighthouse is completly covered by the pit itself or my body.
In certain 360° spins both lighthouses are covered for a second. Then tracking/cancelling is just warping for a splitsecond and then perfectly aligns again.
So this is really amazing!

How do you get ED to start with SteamVR using a Rift HMD?
I have tried from steam selecting launch in steamvr mode, but it always uses oculus.
I have a stand alone version installed as well, but just can't figure it out. It just doesn't want to use openvr.
Any help please?

Can't remember if I use revive to launch it or not I'll have a check later

I only have an Oculus so anytime I run steamVR the Oculus software has to be running in the background. I just minimize it and run steamvr then Run openvr and set it up as motion compensation then hit play in the Steam software and select play in steam using steamVR. Hope this helps

I've tried injecting ED with Revive and Patching it, but ED doesn't show up in the Revive library.

I understand that Oculus will need to run for the Rift, but it always takes focus of the game. I just can't get steamvr to take control.
I have no problem with Assetto Corsa and have the motion cancellation working very well. Though AC does support openvr.

I just reread your post, I'll try using this sequence. Thanks.

No, that doesn't work. Always uses oculus instead of steam, even with steamvr running. Most perplexing.
