Totally agree with your thought process. It only makes sense and i dont know if Oculus is say the official sponsor or whatever you want to call it for dcs world. But i would imagine the vive would work with it somehow.

I think it will continue to be debated until the official specs come out if they ever do and or we get the alpha/beta and see the performance and requirements first hand.

Rgr I've read that but to be honest 3dvision and vr is more demanding in my experience. So if the goal is and is met the dcs 2.0 will run at a constant 75 fpS with max detail settings in the rift then heck ya. But Its speculation until it's on my machine running.

That's not true as in current dcs world when using the rift it doesn't even use the display settings for resolution and Aa. So what I'm trying to say is I imagine if they are currently using a slightly different profile for the rift in current dcs I wonder if it will be same in dcs 2.0. If we can run dcs 2.0 at 75 frames with max detail settings with the rift with a single 980 I'd be surprised. I highly doubt you will be able to max dcs 2.0 on a regular 2d screen and achieve 60fps locked with a single card. My opinion and after seeing smartgraf sli will be needed for max detail settings and performance. That being said sure it's all speculation but I sure as heck hope I can run dcs 2.0 maxed out in the rift or in 3dvision with my specs and able to have constant 75 frames or 60 frames respectively.

Good catch had to re watch it since I was to concentrated on the terrain! I miss cockpit shadows very much in current dcs with rift

Totally agree it's pretty obvious what where seeing. Hope the final version of edge in dcs 2.0 holds up to what we are seeing at smartgraf. But then again they are advertising dcs 2.0 at that sight lol. Looks good either way. All I care about is all those maps coming to dcs world one way or another in the future.

So looks like I'll be buying the vive for Christmas as long as it works with dcs 2.0

Run just fine on my system granted you need a hefty system to run it. It's well worth it, once you fly in 3d or the rift, 2d just doesn't make sense anymore.

I wouldn't, if that's the case buy second card. Looks like this engine is the heat with sli

Came to light at Smartgraph.com Looks epic and can't wait we already know from wags that they have completed the gui compatibility for the rift in dcs 2.0!

Screens look like dcs 2.0 maps in their map creation utility or actual dcs 2.0. I imagine they have access and help in development of dcs 2.0 since they are the makers of the map tools and assets correct?

Well I do believe we have a slight preview of improved effects, for example look at new cbu 105 explosions and explosions in general have improved.

I just wish for that Afghanistan map!

Hate to say it but it's just the way it is with this current engine. Gpu usage will drop especially when using vsync. I run 3dvision and my avg gpu usage is 50 60 mark unless it's cloudy or cockpit lights are on. Realize I use vsync at 60 for my system. Not adaptive. When the processor gets loaded up in this sim the gpu usage will also drop.

Vsync does not unless you have adaptive vsync selected in for example nvidia control panel. Atleast that's how it works on my 980's.

was their any new videos or screen shots?

same here now i can do all the fancy acrobatic stuff and not even feel it. Before it was like oh boy here we go... our brains are amazing things

:cry:

God i hope they have that in Dcs 2.0, that is immersion and imagine a jet wash or rotor wash effecting it !!

Rgr cool to see that site and uber cool to see new engine in the rift video.

So I take it the graphic fidelity will be less compared to what we see at smartgraf if your official statement is that is not the Dcs 2.0 hardware requirements? Like others I have no problem with high hardware requirements.

I wouldn't count on dcs 2.0 not needing a high cpu overclock. If anything I would expect it to be the same as what we have now to be on safe side.

Rift

lol amen a swivel chair is a goood idea!!

Your not understanding, the 1/1 blows trac ir out of water. your small little movement to equal lots of movement with trac ir doesn not sync with your brain eye group very well. Where as in the rift its exactly like being their as far as where you look. Also rift isnt meant to be a neck movement, its a full body movement just like it is in a real pit. In my opinion its way better. If people are in pain from those movements then i suggest more physical activity lol.... Just a side note my previous statement was not in regards to actual movement in the rift, it was meant to convey the feeling of better situational awareness. In the rift i dont feel the need to constantly turn my head like i do in trac ir. You dont have that presence with trac ir that you do with the rift. Much more natural.
