With that news I think this sub forum should be put on the front topic page of the website not buried here since it will be a selling point in the near future,just my opinion.

I havent placed an order for DK2 yet,I'm waiting to see if they announce a release date for CV1 at E3 next week. If they dont announce anything I will assume a 2015 release date and sell my DK1 and order a DK2. Even if the resolution is only marginally better than DK1 it will be worth the money in DCS for the 6dof alone. P.S. anyone want to buy a trackir5 dirt cheap? lol

I'm gonna have to call BS on this one,I have a DK1 and every once in a while I use my trackir 5 with it and when you lean forward you can read all of the gauges and most instruments and MFD's. The only things I have trouble reading are the control panel letters,UFC letters and other fine print items because trackir loses me if I lean that far in.DK2 will have much wider degree of tracking I am sure. I'm sure there were some items he couldnt read but to say he couldnt read anything is just not true or he is blind. Also with the recent Samsung Oculus collaboration CV1 will be 1440p minimum.

This is the only thing I could find.

It's still very choppy,maybe its the capture software you are using,here is a more fluid video and this

Frame rate was really bad on that video,I would improve that before making anymore videos.

Apparently Samsung and Oculus are pairing together for VR,this is good news http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/30/samsung-oculus-partnership/

Has ED acknowledged any problems with AMD cards and rift support for DCS?

Oculus has several different SDK versions on the website,maybe you could try using a different version. They just released a new version about a month ago I think. I dont use the new version tho. BTw I have an Nvidia card.

Now that is the best news I have heard in a long time,please tell me there will be video of this demo!!

The center button is whatever you want it to be,but by default I think it is num pad 5 key,I assigned it to my warthog so i didnt have to feel around for a key.As far as IPD settings are concerned make sure you are using Rift SDK 0.2.5 and NOT the newer 0.3.1.

Oops,didnt see the part where he had to sell something to get a dk2.

I say buy the DK2,if you arent satisfied you can easily sell it on Ebay for what you paid for it,plus a little extra to cover the original shipping costs etc. So in essence you can try it for free.

Great news,any chance of a video of DCS in use with DK2?

Crap I may have to break down and get a DK2 if this is the case http://www.businessinsider.com.au/oculus-riftdate-for-sale-to-consumers-2014-4

Yes,it crashes with the rift

Any news on when multiplayer will work with the rift?

Use firmware 0.2.5 for rift,dont use the newer 0.3 or the older 1.8

I can tell you that with a combination of DK1 and Trackir5 for 6dof that the instruments are totally readible when you lean forward to look at them.However the game is unplayable for me because of all the glitches and and lag associated with TrackIR. So with higher res and 6dof in DK2 you should be fine,spotting targets in the distance may be an issue though,we'll have to wait and see.

I just downloaded the latest DCS beta update and now my controls work properly again. I didnt see anything in the changelog about a problem or a fix.

So out of the blue my Warthog and keyboard wont work in DCS while in rift mode unless I hit the window key first. They work fine in the setup screen when I push buttons but as soon as the mission starts nothing works unless I tab out with the window key. I am running Steam DCS 1.2.8 and the newest Oculus SDK. I know steam updated a day or two ago,it may be the culprit.

Yeah I would think you would need multiple cameras and markers on the mfd's to pull that off.We will get there eventually,but not now,I'm thinking 5 years on something like that being affordable.

There are some changes,I just kinda skimmed over the details of it tho.There was no install as you said,but I did delete 0.2.5c afterwards just in case.You had to use a modified dll to make the rift work properly with DCS and sdk 0.2.5c.With sdk 0.3.1 you dont need to get any additional files because ED used 0.3.1 to make DCS Oculus ready..I dont know if this will help with a black screen problem tho.

I updated my oculus sdk to the newest version and didnt need the new dll anymore

Looks like they took the site down? That was quick,glad I got the file in time:) Here is a youtube video of it in action. Just found another download link here https://mega.co.nz/#!NMISWZSL!KQGyxL1SSco6QqsPl_rlVqu1QhCLBoAFgcYRjMz3qTM
