This project is an OpenXR API layer aimed to make it easy to click on cockpits in VR flight simulators.
This is not intended to be:
- usable as general-purpose hand tracking support: it is designed to work well with specific games (DCS and MSFS).
- a way to see your hands in VR: it priorities ability to point-and-click reliably over immersion. In-game hands/gloves will not line up with your hands, as this conflicts with the goal of providing reliable pointing - the instructions for DCS include making the hands/gloves invisible. This can only be solved by game developers adding/improving built-in hand-tracking support or deeper modifications to the game itself. It can not be improved by HTCC without sacrificing usability.
Game Compatibility
| Game | Compatible? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MSFS | ✅ | |
| DCS World | ✅ | Must use OpenXR |
| HelloXR | ✅ | Use hello_xr.reg |
| All others | ❌ |
If you have a PointCTRL:
- HTCC is optional for DCS
- HTCC is required for MSFS
- if you are using HTCC:
- the custom firwmare is required
- you must calibrate using the included calibration app instead of the standard calibration procedure
- if you are not using HTCC, you must not use the custom firmware
Hardware Compatibility
| Hardware | Compatible? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quest 2 | ✅ | Requires Oculus Developer Mode |
| Quest Pro | ✅ | Requires Oculus Developer Mode |
| Quest 3 | ✅ | Requires Oculus Developer Mode |
| PointCTRL | ✅ | Requires custom firmware |
| Ultraleap | ✅ | Includes Pimax hand tracking modules |
| All others | ❌ | Includes HP Reverb G2, Varjo Aero |
- The HP Reverb G2 does not have the required hardware or driver support
- The Varjo Aero does not have the required hardware support
PointCTRL can be used by themselves, or in combination with any other device; for example, you can point with Quest hand tracking, but clickwith the PointCTRL FCUs.
If you have neither, I recommend ordering a PointCTRL.
