'Absolute' Collective mode
So I noticed a bit of a problem while flying the Heli: whenever I look RIGHT, my headset (Pico 4 - inside-out tracking) losed "sight" of my left hand, which causes my Collective to go absolute HAYWIRE, making it impossible to fly accurately.
Plus it absolutely RUINS immersion whenever it happens because suddenly I'm aware that tracking issues are happening.


Would it be possible to implement an alternate tracking mode that only relies on the controllers internal accelerometer (ie me rolling my wrist) - just like the default for the Cyclic (as opposed to "Joystick mode") please?


Dito for the throttle in planes, come to think of it

Would like to get back into the game, but this is a dealbreaker if it's still working as when I made the post. (I don't wanna download the game only to find out it's still effectively unplayable for me...)

I think that might just be an issue with your headset model. I use the Quest 3, and the only time anything similar ever happens is if my hand happens to be hidden, such as under a desk, behind a leg, under the arm of my chair, etc. Which isn't very often lol.
Pretty sure the Quest 3 uses the internal movements of the controllers in conjunction with its outboard tracking cameras. Idk what the Pico 4 uses though...

The game barely takes any hard drive space. If you already own it, it wouldn't take any time to reinstall it just to test the controls. And if the issue persists, then it's plenty easy to uninstall.

Which is exactly where the collective is when I don't look straight ahead (or to the left) so... yes?

Maybe try lowering your in-game seat? Then the collective will be relatively higher.
This shouldn't make too much of a difference in the helicopter, especially if you fly with the HMD TADS perpetually on lol

But yeah, overall if collectives and throttles are being hidden by your body due to POV, just try lowering your cockpit chair, that way they WONT be blocked by your leg! XD
