If you sit in low kerbin orbit over terrain and move your head around, some of the geometry seems like it's not being spatialized correctly.

• add a throttle lever to the mk1 pod IVA
• implement grab/move

the fingertip collider is a little too big, a little too forward, or both.

Probably shouldn't render the "self" kerbal when in VR mode. Or at least try to find a way to hide the arms, because it's disorienting seeing two sets of hands.

The messed-up camera will prevent a lot of mouse interactions which are going to be necessary to use until VR UI interactions come online.

I was going through a staging process of making sure the mod can be installed from a fresh version of KSP and hit a crash likely caused by some kind of camera parameter being invalid:

Some of the IVAs have a cockpit release lever. Would be awesome to grab and turn this to go eva.

This sort of seems like it could be caused by not having enough filtering on the head position, but I'm a bit puzzled by this because the VR-View from SteamVR doesn't seem as bad. In the original user guide, it suggested:

Something that seemed to help a lot was turning on Legacy Reprojection Mode in the SteamVR per-application settings for Kerbal Space Program.

However the newer versions of SteamVR don't have this option. There seems to be some API calls that can force it on, but it's not clear if that's the best fix or if we should be doing something differently in the first place.

The flightstick is incredibly sensitive. It probably needs:
-deadzones along each axis
-damping
-non-linear mapping curve

• add a joystick to the mk1 pod IVA
• implement grab & control for the joystick

Might be trivial after #23 , but some props are actually covered switches instead of buttons. The extra challenge here will be to make sure that closing the cover doesn't flip the switch.

The seat prop in the IVA already has joystick and throttle parts that the kerbal’s hands rest on. Figure out a path forward here:
Can we use those props directly?
Can we remove them and replace with some other prop that can move?
Do we have to remove the seat entirely?

Hatch_Plane and Hatch_Plane_Curve90 have handles baked into the mesh. It would be awesome to be able to grab these to go EVA.

After reverting to launch, the hands don't show up and the kerbal arms are still visible. Not sure what else is broken.

While testing vr knobs, I noticed that the fingertip will still press buttons while the knob is being turned. Need to suppress that.

Not really sure what the best method is here. Planes should default to pitch/roll and rockets should default to pitch/yaw - but it can't really be specified at the prop or internal cfg level because you could use the same parts in each kind of craft. It could also be initialized based on what the editor type of the craft was. And ultimately there should probably be some way to switch it mid-flight. Perhaps that's pressing a button while grabbing the stick, or maybe it's a separate button in the IVA entirely.

The knob props like the thrust limiter should respond to some kind of grab gesture and rotating the controller.

• add pinch input actions
• detect grabbing
• twisting changes the transform
• clamp rotation to min/max
• feed data back to RPM
• consume current data from RPM when not grabbed

The props that are implemented as switches should respond to flicking them up or down with your finger

• Get switch movement working well
• Get VR -> RPM data flow working
• Get RPM -> VR data flow working

Add Cargo Bag props back in
Add Hatch props

Currently, you have to have the fingertip of the glove on a button collider and then push a button on the controller. The skinning of the hand makes this a bit difficult, because whether or not you are touching the trigger moves your fingertip pretty far.

The ISS app has a really compelling tablet interface where you can just use your fingertip to tap on a screen. It would be much better to do something like that.

The VR flightstick might never feel great (it's really hard to activate just a single axis unlike with a keyboard). It's probably worth adding support for using the thumbsticks for attitude control, at least as an option. It could be always available, or perhaps only when grabbing the VR flightstick, etc.

I'd imagine that the same considerations for swapping yaw/roll for the VR flight stick would also apply to the thumbsticks, and whatever axis mapped to twisting the flightstick would end up on the horizontal axis of the left thumbstick.

Some of the ASET pushbutton props work by placing a collider on the cover so that it intercepts mouse clicks. This obviously doesn't work in VR, because your finger can go through the cover and push the switch below. Need to combine the "switch flicking" behavior for the cover with the button, and make sure the button can't be pushed while the cover is closed.

The joystick on the Seat_Pilot prop has a couple red buttons on top of it. It would be awesome to hook these up to something (action groups maybe?).

It doesn't seem like there is a trigger on the joystick, but we could definitely add one.

Some of the IVAs (mk1 cockpit maybe?) have a different kind of seat that doesn’t have the flightstick and throttle separated into their own meshes. Need to find a way to make these functional.

Edit the model at runtime?
Remove the seat completely and replace with something else?

DONE:
mk1 command pod
mk1 lander can
mk1-3 command pod
mk3 cockpit
mk2 lander can
cupola

TO CHECK:
Probe control room (probably needs flightstick added)

NEEDS WORK (throttle levers are rotated):
kv1
kv2
kv3
mem

Most of the throttle levers are rotated incorrectly.

The mach and heating effects seem to be rendered at a point between the ship and the camera. Could be a scaling problem, or maybe this is just a trick they used to make sure it always appears in front of the ship.

This is fairly low priority since it's mainly only an issue outside of IVA.

There's some kind of scaling issue where the stock atmosphere doesn't render correctly as you ascend.

When switching away from a kerbal, we should undo the scale transform on their shoulders.

I made a craft which was a cupola on top of a lander can on top of a mk3 cockpit. I filled it with kerbals. When swapping the camera between the different kerbals, it would sometimes be turned at weird angles or the hands would not render (but they're still functional and can grab things).

-Need to reset the camera transform when swapping seats?
-Figure out why the hands aren't rendering

If you push the throttle past the min or max, it often pops back. Very noticeable in the mk1pod

There's a warp indicator but no way to change timewarp.

The "auto-deploy gear" switch doesn't seem to have a collider hooked up properly so it can't be moved.

SAS seems to overwrite the input that it's sending, need to figure out how the stock game allows that.

Note that the VRFlightstick does work when SAS is off.

maybe look at how KOS does cooked steering?
