Key-binding bugs with DK2

I finally got my DK2 working. The visuals are really nice, but all is not well.

Problem 1: X52 Pro. It keeps losing important key-bindings. One moment, my target button works, then suddenly I can't target anything. The same with my pips hat, and also from time to time with my scroll wheel that I use for changing panel tabs. Any solutions?

Problem 2: For no apparent reason, it suddenly changes datum, so that I'm behind the seat or stuck looking out the side window. Normally after looking at a panel. Is there any way to re-centre it? I tried F12, but that doesn't do it.

Problem 3: To see the contacts panel, I have to turn around and look back over my left shoulder. With my arthritic neck, that's a real problem. Is there anything that can be done to improve that?

2 and 3 are just the DK2 tracking. Resetting orientation was set as a "shift" fire button I used it that often. The most painful experience with the DK2. Other than that its a fine piece of kit.

Problem one has nothing to do with the DK2, I'd try a different port for your X52, or reinstalling the software. I use the X52 Pro (just the throttle part) No real issues over the years, but sometimes replugging into another USB has solved minor glitches.

Problem 2 - In options you can bind any key to reset - Controls/Reset HMD Orientation.

Problem 3 - Everything you are viewing should be in 1:1 scale and in its correct location. I can't see how you can be looking over your left shoulder if your are aligned with the Avatar's body and in your seat correctly :/ turning around and looking over your left shoulder should mean you are looking at the back of the bridge/cockpit, not the contacts panel

I found it's important to always connect the x52 pro to the same USB port, the one that was used when installing the driver.
On other ports I had various problems.

Thanks for your comments. I would say that the center of the panel is about in line with the plane of the seat, so the first column of info is behind the seat. Looking forward, everything is pretty normal. and centralised, like what you'd expect.
