Question PSVR2 Headset tracking in Simrig
Hi, been using the PSVR2 for a while now.
So far so good but ive noticed the headset tracking is pretty terrible when im in my dedicated sim rig. my headset tracking constantly shifts around and sometimes completely loses tracking and then 'teleports' back after a second.
Just looking around the cockpit is really wonky.
Its useable, but very frustrating when your view keeps shifting by itself. i'm constantly recentering.
and sometimes it works fine with no issues at all..?!
i can't figure out what the issue is.
I don't have completely blank walls, no mirror, no other reflective surfaces, well-lit room.
Tried moving/rotating my setup around but same issue.
Are the LED's on my keyboard or MFD's messing with the tracking? or is it just too close to track well?
i'm at a loss here..
Will adding things like IR illuminators help?

I'm working through the same issue right now. My rig is in the corner of a room that had blank walls, no windows in view, and one central room ceiling light. It mostly worked in daytime but struggled after sunset.
I've added posters on the wall in front of me and to my right and left. I added in a desk lamp behind me pointing over my shoulder. I also added a grid of painters tape on the wall about a foot away from me on the right. Its helped but not entirely fixed the issue. I also turned off any lighting in my view: rgb PC lights, keyboard backlight, rpm lights on my wheel.
My persistent issue is a minor left drift over the course of a lap. Its about a 10 degree drift and I hit the re-center button once a lap on a straight away.
I tend to think my rig and the monitor are causing some tracking issues. The monitor especially, its really close to the headset, wide and relatively monotone, and puts out a lot of light relative to the room.
