I'm running 1070 with HTC Vive. 1070 is overclocked to 2033mhz and at least 250mhz vram but can go higher there. It looks like I'm able to use super-sampling at 2.5 via the steamvr switch without any performance issues. 2 x AA, 16 x AF. Medium shadows.

Aha! Thanks for tip!

Purchased Nevada/F15 last night. Absolutely amazing in VR with body vibration. I have a suggestion for the Track record/replay... I was hoping it was possible to playback track and not have the head movements recorded... Just recording the aircraft flight rather than any cockpit motion and thus when showing someone a replay in VR they can look all around as the replay runs. You'd still have option for those who want to record the head movement but option not to playback head movement would be great. The replay as it stands doesn't work well with VR because it's a very odd experience.

Is it possible to fly into space as well?

The upgrade to support the latest Oculus runtime is great and the performance in VR is higher now. I have some suggestions for improvement: Although the HUD symbology is readable for the most part the instruction text that pops up is only partially readable. For example when you fly a training mission and you get a rectangular bar of text popup telling you to press certain keys... that text isn't very readable. Reason being that the text floats some distance above the sharpest area of the Oculus lenses. It might be better if that text was made slightly larger. I can read some of it but not all. The second issue is when you're in flight and you press escape to bring up the options menu... if you want to access the control settings/key bindings the text isn't very readable and it's attached to your head so it moves with your head. It would be much better to have a popup menu that's fixed in space like the menus in Elite Dangerous? Where you can lean in to look closer at a menu. Having the menus attached to your head as they are now doesn't help at all. Text could do with being slightly bigger. I think that's it for my suggestions. DCS is amazing overall especially now VR is fully supported.

Well I've tried it and it works very well now in runtime 800. Much better performance. I will still need to buy 970 though but I was planning to anyway.

Oh! Great. I will give it a try. Thanks.

Yes, I will upgrade to 970 soon. I guess the runtime support hasn't been updated has it?

DCS was unplayable for me on GTX 680 3 months ago. Judder was severe. Any advances/updates since then? Oculus DK2

I have a GTX 680 which is obviously old now but it's overclocked high along with my i5 2500k and the ram. I'm able to run FSX ok on Oculus and a lot of other games and demos. I doubt Nevada will be any different because it's the DCS engine that needs to be optimized.

Oculus has been released for more than a year and DK2 has a pretty good range of supported games and demos now. I realise it's a developer targeted device but nevertheless there's a lot of content out there for it. I think DCS just isn't optimised enough for VR and I don't think that will change very soon when CV1 arrives. DK2 period was the time when developers should have been learning and refining their products rather than simply waiting for CV1 stage.

DCS world is pretty much broken for VR. Although it looks great when you see it on DK2... there is so much judder even on minimum settings it's unplayable. Since VR is going to kick off in a big way soon... What are the plans for DCS?

That's hilarious given the sim doesn't work properly with Oculus.

Palmer used to tinker in his parent's garage with VR so it had nothing to do with Valve getting there first. Palmer made consumer VR a thing. Good observations you make here. Agree. By the way... I had to give up getting DCS world to run smoothly with my Oculus DK2. DCS is just too badly optimised.

Done! Working now. Thanks.

OK I read through this and I am still unclear. I too have purchased the Steam version BS1 and want to upgrade. There is no KEY that I can see on steam with my purchase. I have downloaded the 1111 upgrade version, installed and of course it wants activation....
