6dof permanent feature #63

Open zubrowska opened 5 years ago

zubrowska commented 5 years ago

Hey Man, is it possible to add an option for using the 6dof controller even when flight assist is off and the landing Gear up ? Because on Oculus with the joysticks who doesn't Work yet it's hard to bind all the thrusters, up down and left right

dantman commented 5 years ago

If the joysticks don't show up, the 6dof controller is not going to show up either.

The joystick is working ! The 6dof to, but i'ld like to use the 6dof even when landing Gears are up and flight assist on. Is it possible ?Le 18 déc. 2018 23:46, Daniel Friesen notifications@github.com a écrit :If the joysticks don't show up, the 6dof controller is not going to show up either.

I'd like a 3 DOF for the left hand. Basically rotational controller like the right side one but mapped to the vertical, horizontal, and normal thrust. It'd give an advantage in dog fighting.

BTW, this mod is awesome and I've been using it for hours for combat and it works great with practice.

Yes, I also like to use the 6dof as my standard input. Elite mixes all input types so it is even with flight assist on a very useful asset in combat. Honestly I don't need the 3dof.

I did mining with the 6DOF controller and it was awesome! Unfortunately I had to turn on landing gear to get it but it helped with the new mining stuff a ton. Landing with the 6DOF is also tons of fun.

Can we please have a way to turn on the 6DOF controller ourselves? I bet the Galaxy Map would be fun with 6DOF too.

Can we also be allowed to map up/down and left/right strafing thrusters to the left hand touchpad? Please? 😄

3DOF controller is #51. Control over when the 6DOF controller shows up requires #15.

Oh, side note. The 6DOF controller also shows up when you turn flight assist off. I did actually anticipate players wanting to play like this and have done it myself. I just didn't anticipate it being common when playing with flight assist on.

"The 6DOF controller also shows up when you turn flight assist off." Awesome! I didn't know that. I guess I need to start practicing with flight assist off 😃

dantman commented 5 years ago

Side note. The Beyond update seems to have added Analysis and Combat cockpit modes. I may want to take that into account for the options and allow you to specifically enable the 6DOF controller in combat mode.

jdawgzim commented 5 years ago

Mining happens in analysis mode so need 6DOF there too. 😁

dantman commented 5 years ago

Yeah, it'll be an options thing. I'll have a series of conditions you can have the 6DOF controller enabled in. Perhaps something like (Landing Gear Deployed, FA off, Combat, Analysis) and you could just turn them all on if you want. We can also think of ideas for others, like perhaps "Hardpoints Deployed" so it's only out when you are actually mining/combating.

You know what, why don't you make the joysticks and sliders generally free configurable like the buttons.

Name them and configure the vjoy stuff in the desktop window.

I personally only need the slider and 6dof, since I use those when I'm playing nonvr too (I have a space Explorer that CAD thing)
