  1. Hey, looking forward to use this, however I fly in VR and need to move the KB position, unfortunately the Options Kneeboard preferences is greyed out for me. I use a Steam install if that matters, I have put the install location and my saved games folder in the settings.

  2. No "maybe" about it. It's apples and oranges in many ways. YouTube doesn't even render at 90Hz for a start.

     

    90 hz isnt a measure of resolution, You absolutely *can* use youtube as a basis for comparing resolutions when the resolution shown in at least one of the videos is lower than the played resolution(dk2) and lower than the resolution used to view it(i assume 1080p or 1440p) Is it ideal? no, is it reliable? not entirely you'd need to use the same computer, same recording software etc.

     

    But knowing that the vive has roughly double the resolution of the dk2(single 1080P panel vs 2 1080p panels) combined with a quite noticeable difference in readability and clarity of things like text in the dials in the two videos the difference can quite easily be attributed to the much increased resolution of the vive vs DK2

     

    LOL, no sorry, it doesn't work that way...:)

    No, the Rift and Vive visuals are the same, if you got like 20/10 vision maybe you to could tell a difference, but those years are long gone for me.

     

    If your not decided on which platform to purchase it really should be for other reasons, such as total budget, what you can afford, what are your intended uses and such. Remember the VR headset is only one component of a complete system. And for many to get effective use of VR, it's gonna mean a new complete system. For many peoples the Rift will be the better choice just because you may need, or want to improve your current system within your budget. And keep in mind the HTC Vive will not come with surround sound headsets.

     

    I'm specifically going for the HTC Vive because of the Lighthouse Technologies for my specific purposes and it is within our budget allocation for a completely new system package.

     

    uh..no the DK2 and the vive do not have the same visuals. the DK2 has a single 1080p panel for both eyes vs the CV1 and vive having a 1080p panel for each eye. double the resolution. at least(if not more since the screen can be positioned more closely the center of each eye and not having to have as large a black unrendered spot in the center)

  3. Maybe it was the small screen off to the side. God I hope so. But I didn't get the WOW feeling. Actually, if I'm honest, I was a bit disappointed.

     

    Watch this video, then compare to his video, you can tell how much higher resolution the Vive is compared to the dk2

  4. After that review, I would not get a Vive, DCS World, a computer, a HOTAS, or a beard either....lol.....:megalol:, think I'd just take up drinking and golf....

    (but, at least the guy tried..)

     

    But, one thing I did notice that he didn't say anything about was, nor did I see any noticeable evidence of, was stuttering or low FPS drops, which is a concern in general for DCS World in VR, no matter which platform you go with. Nor any complaints about poor performance with DCS World in VR. That is good news.

    Sad that as far as I can find this is the only DCS World + HTC Vive video put out...

     

    It could be the recording only as well, its very common when recording for there to be some studder/breaks as files are saved a new or just performance drops in general with the recording taking the low man on the totem pole and lagging even if other things do not.

  5. I have owned the DK1, Three DK2's, Gear VR innovator edition and consumer edition. I have also pre-ordered 2 Oculus CV-1's. I want to get the Vive also but I'm going to wait and see on that one. In the end I think the experience with Oculus CV1 and the Vive will probably be identical as far as DCS is concerned.

     

    The one and only thing that made me chose the vive is I was worried about constantly loosing tracking with the headset, I have a track ir with about the best set up possible for range of movement and felt like i still lost tracking more than i would have liked. I am sure it wont be much of an issue, but I was willing to spend more to make sure I got something that would work in that regard

  6. Deadman, for the gear handle if you cast two separate pieces that would snap together or could be screwed together would that work? you could put red LEDs in the gear handle and if they ever go out just replace them, would also make assembly much easier and if the separation point was hidden in one of the grooves it wouldnt be much of an issue.
