Adjusting the side up panels in vr?

I got an eagle and in that ship the side panels are up high compared to the sidewinder.

So I end up triggering them when I don't want to, like when trying to use a stations menu etc, annoying! And when flying they are all ways blocking the view.

Is there some way to position them lower? I'm not sure the reason they are so high on this ship.

If it's only out by a slight amount, you can also get yourself down as low as possible and then reset the origin of your VR.

unfortunately it is quite a bit to high, as in the SRV. was bugreported in beta multiple times. you can only turn the auto popup off. maybe they can fix it for 2.3.

Some ships are more affected than others by this "bug". It's related to cockpit design. The AspX is another of the ships affected by the panel sickness. BTW it's being discussed and I hope the UI designers will find a way to improve this. Fingers crossed for all VR and IR tracking community.

I'd like to be able to lower mine so I have to look down to activate them, just so I can look out of my side windows.

Depends on the mileage you get from it. I stopped using it quite quickly as I never found it to be as reliable as a button, more of a gimmick and I'm not short of buttons anyway. My experience: "Computer" - Nothing. "Computer" - Nothing. "COMMM-PPPUTTT-ERRRR" - Yes Commander, "Gear Down" - Nothing. "Gear Down" - Landing Gear Deployed (about ruddy time....). Drove me nuts and no amount of speech recognition training helped, if anything it got worse the more I trained it. Who knows, it could very well have been my mic at fault (pre CV1) but no one ever complained about my mic quality in game.

I guess buttons once I get a stick. Hoping they add customizing screen positions!

I don't have a source but I'm sure I read the devs behind the UI placement in VR stated that the UI was positioned the way it was to make the best of what they had, moving the panels further away would cause clipping with the cockpit, making them larger was the same and moving them closer caused eye strain.

Personally, I think that if the 'disable UI Menus' button actually kept them disabled until you wanted to see them this wouldn't be a problem. Press a button, now your head tracked UI works, press it again and they stop appearing until you need them again. Unfortunately as soon as you enter or exit supercruise the UI returns to being on even if set to off - very annoying, although I did make a script to keep it off once.

The most reliable solution I found was to map the left & right UI panels to a rocker switch under my thumb on my throttle. Now they're off unless I want to see them and my view is uninterrupted in all craft but no 'look to activate' - to be honest I think I prefer it without 'look to activate' now and activating them is second nature just like looking at them, that's personal taste though.

Another +1 to "I hope they fix it."

I just came back to this game after a few months away and thought my Oculus setup was broken. Every time I looked out a window, the panels would pop up in my face.

I absolutely love the immersive feel of look-to-open, so I'm loath to turn it off. Plus, I don't really have any buttons to spare anyway. Voice attack is already configured for all the panels, but it's annoying to give a voice command every couple seconds when I'm flying through a system and watching my contacts list.

Ultimately, the ideal would be an option to select a "high" or "low" position for the panels. For "high", leave it where they are now; for "low" put them back where they were before.

They're perfect in the Imperial Courier, just low enough that you have to glance down to trigger them but complete nightmare in the SRV (at least let us disable them just in the SRV), take two minutes to just add the option in the Driving section - probably.

You already can disable them. I have them on a toggle switch.
