Double‑Blink Eye‑Tracked Mouse for DCS VR! | DCSmiz INSTANT 1.3.2 Update
Hello everyone!
DCSmiz INSTANT has been updated with eye‑tracked mouse functionality — and believe me, it’s really cool.
A few years ago, I made a video about ditching the regular mouse for in‑game interaction inside DCS, and I have been using that approach ever since.
However, it had a critical flaw: interaction works perfectly smooth for the forward hemisphere, but controls located on either side of your torso force you to twist your waist uncomfortably, since you cannot physically turn far enough to reach them.
Now with INSTANT, you can double‑blink to teleport the mouse cursor near your gaze point, and this is incredibly exciting.
Once you update to version 1.3.2, you will see a new standalone module called Enable In‑Cockpit Mouse. Toggle it on.
Click the question‑mark icon to view usage instructions.
If you own an eye‑tracking‑enabled VR headset, use the gaze‑based confirmation mode. Simply set a hotkey for calibration learning. No eye‑tracker? No problem. You can still rely on the fixed three‑point cycle mode to spare your waist.
Let’s go into the cockpit for calibration and training. Move your mouse over a control component, keep your eyes fixed on that component, and press your assigned hotkey. This spatial sample will then be recorded. On the client panel you will notice one valid sample has been added. You can repeat this learning‑calibration process many times to build up more samples and improve overall accuracy.
You can also clear all samples and start fresh by clicking Reset Data. These valuable learned samples are persistently saved: they remain intact even if you uninstall the software or delete the entire installation folder. They can only be erased via the Reset Data button on the panel.
After setup, inside DCS VR you can double‑blink to activate the mouse around your gaze target. Interact with cockpit controls using left‑ and right‑mouse buttons mapped to your throttle or joystick.
Happy flying!
