Hi all. I was wondering if there was ever a fix for the gunner position in VR. I noted one thread where it was discussed but no conclusion or follow up occurred.

Thanks.

I don't know if this is still broken (I haven't checked), but we're working on improving a number of things in the mod. It is very likely that we'll have a fix for this soon, and we may also have found a way to enable 6dof while in the hangar. Stay tuned!

I believe headtracking is disabled for external camera and gunner turret, but as you said with the latest changes it should be possible to do it now. Patience! 😁

Thanks to m0rgg, this will be fixed soon. We'll probably release something this week.

It was still broken last night. I took off my HMD and used my monitor for the gunner position.
I'm just now getting into this. Loving your work!

Did you install the latest ddraw 2.0 beta? It should be working now...

Played the latest beta tonight. Works like a charm. Everything much more stable in VR. Lots of fun in the gunner turret.

@Spidey002, if you have the TFTC Reimagined side installed, try flying the clone wars era "Y-wingB" in Skirmish mode room. You go to/from cockpit to the roof gunner position toggling your G key. I don't have VR equipment for now, but curious if it works well with VR too. It's the first starfighter craft that has a gunner-turret position besides the Corellian Tranports etc.

I'll have to give that a go.
