    Does anyone have a 6dof DCS world preset i can try.. i am getting jerky movements enough to nearly throw my back out :)

    I have tried smoothing and a little bit of deadzone to try and make it better but i am still only learning this.

    Is that a Stewart platform that you have? I'm a newbie, too, and would be very much interested in a preset to help against some very jerky movements. However, I quickly learned to fly much more smoothly and "civilian" than before, but gave up dogfights completely...:(

    Have you looked at the tuning center?
    Maybe the setting are not quite right for your sim?
    Take care,

    Yep Yobuddy , i have tried to play with the tuning centre a bit .. it seems that when i try and pitch up and down the sim tries to spasm causing me to do extra movements on my flight stick , but i have not been able to check this as i am still trying to work out the motion cancellation so i will give it a go this weekend sometime hopefully

    @Denus304
    How are you setting up the axis assignments?
    Maybe PM me with your settings and I can see if I can help buddy.
    Take care,

    Funny, Denus304, with the Vive Pro I can initialize a stable motion compensation almost every time (with some mysterious exceptions, like yesterday), but I have still unsolved problems to get motion compensation to work with the HP Reverb. Maybe I can help you by telling how I do it:
    I use a Vive tracker v2 as reference and have it attached behind my headrest.
    I use one Vive wand to operate OVRIE from within VR.
    The two lighthouses v1 are placed sideways of my seat so that BOTH cover the HMD and the tracker (this is not a necessatiy, but may help). Make sure the lighthouses are at least 100cm away from tracker and Pro.
    I start SteamVR and (mostly) follow a recommendation to go thru steamvr_room_setup before anything else.
    In OVRIE I choose the tracker as "device", motion compensation as "mode" and "zero" in compensation setting. The last click is "apply".
    In 9 out of 10 cases I'm done. If not I usually restart the system...
    Hope this helps.

    Can someone post their DCS preset values for axes and other values? Perhaps, screen shots posted on the forum? Thanks !
