Got some help carrying the #ViperPit from the basement into my man cave today and since I got the peripherals operational again already, and got Ace Combat 7 on a sale, which seemed to be a good fit, I decided to play that first:

Little did I know what a pain in the neck it would be to get this running. No, Linux wasn’t the problem. That was just Press Play, as usual.
There is however no settings menu for #HOTAS joysticks so any mapping has to be done by manually editing the `Input.ini` of the game in an text editor, which is a guessing game. Head tracking is also a no go. I pulled the old trick to map the head tracker to a virtual XBOX controller but the game comes with an annoying deadzone where the camera snaps to the center.
Ah well, got it all working okay-ish in the end and enjoyed some pew pew in the skies. There seem to be plenty of #Macross mods too so trying that will be next 🤘
@beko The sad irony of course being that a real VR version of the game exists,
but was only ever available on PS4 with only a hand full of dedicated levels.
Easily one of my favorite games though.
I’ve neither, no PS nor VR. I’m also getting motion sick easily :/ The XR works somehow.
Wonder if the VR edition also has this _very_ annoying deadzone on the look-around 🤔
I’m totally new to this series but I can tell /they/ are new to PC – so much wasted potential xD It is however very beautiful and easy enough that I can show it to my kids as well 👍
