Dynamic POV v0.18

Dynamic POV v0.18 is available for all platforms – FS24 add-on, Android app and iOS app. Main fixes and improvements:

-= Wrong pilot seat position =-

Issue originally happened because some aircraft has mutual type/model value set in aircraft configs – the most known example is A320 and A321. It was fixed so these aircraft will get have valid views now.
If you still experience such issue in some aircraft, open CONFIG tab and press ENUMERATE VIEWS button (aircraft should be grounded or in level flight). Fixed views will be stored for the future flights.

-= Augmented camera =-

I have no idea who may need it, but it was easy to make. How to use: click on camera icon in the mobile app, then place smartphone near your face (main camera pointed monitor) and re-center the view. After that cockpit camera will follow all the movements of the smartphone. Some older smartphones may be not supported though.

-= Sensors hint on app start up =-

Small but helpful fix – we have received complains like “I’ve started the app but it does not work”. To make it cleanlier: once app is started you will see a tip about available sensors (head tracking, earbuds). If you’ve tried the app before and didn’t realise why it does not work – worth to try again.

-= Advanced network logging =-

If you still experience issues – stuttering, unstable connection, or not able to connect at all, please use REPORT ISSUE button in the app. Press it and repeat all actions so logging script will store related to the issue data. Then stop logging and send file by email, providing short description of the issue.

-= Quest VR headset app =-

Started as experiment, ended as the very fist successful VR integration with XBOX Series X|S. Work still in progress but everyone is able to try it already.

What will you get:
1. Up to 1440p resolution (Series S – 1080p), both Remote and Cloud. HDMI streaming is not supported due to multiple reasons
2. Both screen and cockpit camera will move along with your head to provide VR-like experience
3. Basic hand tracking: buttons press, thumbs click, knobs turns, lever move with pinch gesture
4. VR controllers may interact with instruments by pointer and triggers

You will need:
1. Oculus Quest 2/3/PRO headset
2. For Xbox Remote: console in your home and high speed 5GHz WiFi; Xbox Cloud: you could know what you need to have good experience
3. Quest version of the Dynamic POV app: open the link and approve early access, then it will appear in your Quest apps list https://www.meta.com/s/448CFDRGm

How to use:

1. Pair gamepad with Quest headset if you are planning to use hand/controllers tracking, otherwise it’s not necessary
2. Launch Quest app, press PAIR: Xbox home page will be opened, log in into MS account and then choose streaming mode (Remote or Cloud)
3. Start the streaming, launch FS24, start the Flight, open Dynamic POV EFB app
4. Press PAIR button, headset should read QR and became paired with the console.
5. Look forward, re-center by: pressing right stick button, or hold Oculus button on right VR controller, or hold upper pinch for several seconds.
6. Look around to ensure camera moves smoothly, adjust screen size and delay compensation for best experience

-= Last as a bonus: Ace Combat 8 VR streaming & head tracking =-

Who said “Xbox does not support VR”? Hold my 🍺

1. Connect xbox gamepad to the Quest headset (important! as headset will be able to read buttons presses)
2. Start the game, choose cockpit view
3. Start the Quest app, select “Xbox auto-centering” mode, press START HEAD TRACKING, start the streaming session
4. Once you see the game image – press start twice, calibration will be performed (about 20 seconds)
5. Once calibration finished – move your head left and right, adjust screen size to fit your eyes correctly.
6. You don’t need FS add-on, just Oculus app from the link above
