#CAPTO GLOVES UPDATE#

No in between positions, no accidentally moving off the switch. All you need is a system to move the pointer from one switch to another and then to operate that switch or whatever. You never need to have your pointer be anywhere other than exactly on a switch or dial when not on your HOTAS. You don't need 100% freedom to move your virtual hand within the 3 dimensional virtual room. There's no need for a hovering hand in your virtual cockpit, which will never be coordinated with your real world equipment. They occur through many years the pilot's finger resting on the instrument panel to keep their hand from wavering while using dials and switches. Have you ever seen the instrument panels of an old aircraft? Ever notice all the warn down areas around switches and dials. The coordination required to hold your hand hovering in the air - not wavering or drifting off the virtual instrument floating in the air - while you turn a dial or whatever will be not only very taxing but more and more difficult through fatigue the longer your flight session lasts. Eventually you will be going to operate some switch or dial and bang in to your throttle, or a switch box, or even just your table top. The different processes gets quickly to muscle memory and it is very fluid to fly around when your arm and hand moves around the virtual cockpit.Īll those VR gloves and finger-pointing devices can never compensate for your real-world equipment not corresponding 100% to the virtual world cockpit. It is so easy to learn and operate different aircrafts when the virtual cockpit is your cockpit. Comparing it to situation where you would move hand to somewhere completely different place and try to remember what you are now touching while blind to it, is not at all same level. Sure, there is no tactile feedback from touching them, but it doesn't really matter. It is huge difference to see that you have specific switch/button/lever 'right there', and you can just reach at it and see a glove (without arm) tied to your hand and you 'just use it'. As playing around with a Leap Motion (even official support for that would be nice, please ED!) to get it working is not so fun. We need a ED to really implement a proper virtual hands in DCS, while waiting Oculus to bring official hand tracking to Rift S from Quest. And I can't use unrealistic buttons and switches around me that ain't there*. I can't build each module to have unique own physical buttons and switches that would exist in the same location as the virtual cockpit has them. It is as big immersion improvement to use hand tracking as it was to start using VR in first place. I can't go back to use mouse/keyboard with VR.

Have you tried any of hand tracking methods? If you are shopping for upper-level gear guys, you should give this stuff a shot.Gotta be honest, love the immersion of VR but I would rather “fumble “ for a hard switch By muscle memory or click a virtual switch on a realistic dash with a mouse than have a virtual floating hand or tracker on my Hand flipping imaginary points in space. One of the guys I was riding with last week wears a Tobe mono suit, helmet, and boa boots- all very legit gear. The grip feeling on the bars was great, they appear to be made simply yet very well, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a thinner, lightly-insulated, high activity, waterproof snowmobile glove. They are actually a bit looser than I anticipated not loose enough that I'd try a medium, not tight enough that I'd want XL's either. Since my Doo Grip gloves fit snugly and they are a large, I expected the Tobe's to fit the same way.

I really liked the one-hand cuff adjustment system, and got used to using that regularly. The Capto Gauntlet gloves are awesome I really like them a lot! It wasn't extremely cold, but pretty chilly and windy in the mornings the first few days, and my hands didn't get uncomfortably cold at all- I could easily feel my grip heaters doing their thing.

Just a quick update after 4 days worth of riding last week in the U.P.
