HP Reverb G2 - VR Setup Guide for Condor 2

[Guy757]

Fabulous stuff! Having thought my G2 was dead I dug out the old V1 cable and it lives again. May be time to dust off Condor 2 again and fire it up in VR if time allows. Will let you know what I find (but don't go holding your breath ).

I'd love if someone with an HP Reverb G2, HTC Vive, or other non-Oculus/Meta headset could give this a try and see if it works for them as well - so that it's not OK just in my strange setup!

I tested it the other day, no artifacts, no performance issues, worked fine, except one thing: when I move my head (left/right, forward backward, like leaning out of the glider to look down), the cockpit moves with my head, in other words, my head's position relative to the cockpit does not change. Turning my head works fine, the VR view is updated correctly.

I'm not sure if it is related to Revive or Condor, I haven't used Condor a lot, maybe just a user error, some incorrect setting, but could not find anything.

Anyone lucky to be able to run in on G2 recently?

Nevermind, it looks like old version of Revive and antialiasing turned off are a must.

I've disabled antialiasing - gamma correction and set antialiasing mode to off. However the G2 still has a black scree and the red bar is stuck at "almost done...". At a bit of a loss for ideas, so I welcome any that have thoughts on how to solve the G2 black screen. I get the sounds out at least, so its a start.

I'm not signed into any Occulus meta account so revive complains about an overlay issue and Oauth. Don't know if those are expected.

OK, with desktop+ i have placed xcsoar and cotasa on vr in game, but i am not able to use xcsoar, a haven't mouse in game, is there a way to change page or mcReady value?

One way is to use autohotkey (https://www.autohotkey.com/download/) to interact with xcsoar. I have a little script that starts everything and allows me to change page and zoom in/out. I didn't configure any other yet though.

Here's what I have for example as a script :

Run,C:\Users\thoma\Downloads\XCSoar.exe
WinWait, XCSoar
WinMove, 1920, 0

Run,C:\Users\thoma\OneDrive\Bureau\xcsoar.vspe

Run,steam://rungameid/250820

SetTitleMatchMode 2
DetectHiddenWindows, on

up::
ControlSend,ahk_parent, {Up}, XCSoar
Return

down::
ControlSend,ahk_parent, {Down}, XCSoar
Return

left::
ControlSend,ahk_parent, {Left}, XCSoar
Return

right::
ControlSend,ahk_parent, {Right}, XCSoar
Return

Here is a version that has a user interface to map keys, buttons or joystick hats/axis to control XCsoar.

Allows basically full interaction with XCsoar without leaving VR.

Hi, ryanwoodie,

I am very interested in your XCSoar-LK8000-hotkeys.
When I use LK8000, what shall I set for Device model in the Device configuration?
Instead that XCSoar needs xci file, LK8000 already has different kinds of keyboad assignment, such as Keyboad A/B/C or QWERTY KBRD.

I have the same issue.
In the past it sometimes worked and I could move my head around (and stick it out of the cockpit),
but recently this stopped working completely. I can turn my head, but I cant move it around.

Is there any solution to this problem?

I had sometimes the same problem with my quest 2. I had to reset the "guardian" (space in which you can move) because it had probably jumped in "stationnary boundary". I also tried to have more light in the room to help the quest.

Same problem here, I hope there is a solution...
It's not due to the latest version of Revive, I'm still on the old one. It's likely to be a problem with a Condor 2 update...

[wickid]

It's likely to be a problem with a Condor 2 update...

Nothing was changed on the VR support.

Nothing was changed on the VR support.

And yet, the behavior of the VR has changed for multiple users.

In the post CondorPatch220 I noted on january 3

"Back with my problem after patch 2.20 with the combination in VR : Oculus/Steam/Revive.
It was perfect in 2.18
After more tries it appears that for me the VR freezes when there is nothing written or appearing more than the lanscape.
The hud toggles freezes the VR. But when I am offline, when the indication start windows..disappears, VR frozen. If I move the flaps it is unfrozen the time flaps n is written. If I call the game menu, the fly is unfrozen. Everything written unfreezes the VR. As I have no problem except hud toggle on line I think that the net little drawing appearing makes all works correctly."

I have flown many times after the 3/1/24 and allways the same problem: The hud toggle function freezes the VR. It shivers and I am frozen in.
- In online flight no problem as long as the net symbol appears, when I try hud toggle : frozen. I am obliged to keep the indication start window n minutes until zero. (please in condor 3 put it elsewhere !! for VR)
- Off line I have managed to have the "cockpit view" allways on (thank you antimicrox) and with that I have no problem.
Even if nothing has changed on the VR support, the problem dates from the 2.20 update. May be something else has been changed which has, by an unforeseen consequence.

The issue is intermittent, two days ago I had a flight where I could move around normally,
yesterday my head was glued to the cockpit again.
I cant find any pattern so far, but will try to find one the next days.
I do see the issue with Revive 1.9.2 and the new 3.2.0. - so it doesnt depend on this version.

I found that the 3DOF vs. 6DOF issue most likely is caused either by bad environment lighting,
or because the WMR room boundary setup dialogue wasn't done.
