Question Setting Yaw VR to work correctly with DCS World

Hey gents!

I did search the site before posting this but was unable to find the solution for my problem.

Anyway, I'm using the DCS plugin for Simtools (downloaded from this site) and most of it works fine in DCS, except for this weird problem I'm having with, what it appears to be, reversed/mixed Axis.

Namely, ingame, the Pitch axis behaves like a Roll axis and vice versa: the Roll axis behaves like Pitch.

For example, when I pull the stick back, Yaw Vr rolls to the right, if I pull it forward, it rolls to the left. If I try to roll to the left, YawVR pitches up and rolling to the right results in YawVR pitching down.

I did perform in-game axis capturing via the Tuning Center, and this is what my current setup looks like:



In the second thumbnail there is no Pitch axis. I did add it but it didn't make any difference. It appears that the Axis assigned does not do what it actually should i.e. in my case, the Sway axis appears to act as Roll axis etc.

Are there any Yaw VR users out there willing to share their DCS World setup in Simtools. I must say I have very little understanding on how the Simtools setup work. I just can't seem to figure it out. It appears as if, at least some of the axis are just mixed-up/reversed.

Thanks.

None of those links addressed the issues I outlined in my initial post.
My axis are completely wrong. As previously noted, the Roll axis behaves for YawVR as Pitch, i.e. when I move my stick left and right, YawVR goes UP and DOWN.

Pitch assignment does absolutelly nothing BUT the Heave acts actually as a Pitch i.e. when ingame I pull the stick back or push it forward, YawVR rolls left or right.

So, as you can see, everything is completely messed up. Simply changing directions i.e. checking the boxes won't do the trick. This just defies logic...and I'm not sure how to deal with this. I assume, there are YawVR users who do not have these issues or have figured out what's the problem?

I apologize if I made you feel your efforts were not appreaciated. It's just a little frustrating trying to figure out these things.

what game are you playing?
so far i only have my yawVR setup for nolimits2 and DCS world.

DCS world i use simtools2 to tie telemetry to the yaw.
NoLimits2, i use the yawVR game engine (simtools not need for this roller coaster game)

i can share my DCS world settings if you like @Kenan

note: for DCS i used to use the yawVR game engine for telemetry, but i see from the yawVR config app, the pointers jump around alot, so i went back to SimTools and it is much more stable for the telemetry.

Yeah sure, I would apreaciate that!

Usually you'd set it up like:
Axis1a is for yaw
Axis2a is for pitch, surge, & heave
Axis3a is for roll, & sway

You should come over to the YawVR discord so we can get this setup properly.

sorry for delay. i been working on stuff related to DCS world. but this is my settings to get my yawVR to work with DCS world using simtools. @Kenan

also. if you are going to edit you .lua file.. i suggest that you use notepad++. using basic text editor can add wonky things when saving

Those limit settings don't make much sense to use with YawVR.

For the limits you are showing in the YawVR config app, simtools limiting should be:
Axis1a 14% (which is 14% of 360° or 50.4°)
Axis2a 11% (39.6°)
Axis3a 11% (39.6°)

Then in axis assignments the percentages make sense. They'll be a percentage of the total travel available for each axis.

Or you could just use the easy YawVR interface fresh_ch posted here. It will scale the simtools limiting perfectly to match your YawVR limits. Then you leave the simtools axis limiting all at 100%.

Also 30% power is very, very low. You can tame it down with profiles in simtools if it is too rough.

thanks for the

i dont have a problem with my settings.. but i like what you have to say, can you make a photo of YOUR SETTINGS with all the screens similar to my photo? i dont mind to try your settings, you have more yawVR experience than i do.

is there a link for YawVR interface fresh_ch @KydDynoMyte ?
as u know, the forum is huge..

Luckily not a lot of YawVR posts to search through yet making it hard to find. Sorry guess his username is different here.

Now if you use the latest one, you'll want to set all your simtools axis limiting to 100%. The interface will see what limits you set with the yawvr config app and scale the min/max tuning center game data into those limits. So the percentages on the axis assignments page will make sense. If you give a force 75% of an axis, it'll have 75% of the available travel on that axis.

I might be able to figure out and convert the other settings you have so the motion matches up to what you currently have. It's not that what you already have isn't working for you, it's that you can't share profiles and use other profiles if they weren't from a similar starting base setup. The min/max data scales into the limit range, so the tuning center numbers would need to be changed too to get the same exact feeling you currently have.

you dont have to match my settings.. just show me the settings you have.. if anything, i want to match your settings...
