I can empathize. My R9 290X wont play nice with DCS and it's killing me as I was a DK1 early adopter too. Had to run it up to try the Sabre, but it's totally a beer goggles experience going back to the low rez. Patience, give me patience. :helpsmilie:

It's already happened. They'll never be the same. I felt that after 2 minutes in the Rift/IL2 1946. There was never any doubt in my mind that once ED team experienced the Rift first hand there was no going back. We are entering a new age of flight sims. Welcome, pioneers! :pilotfly:

I have a dev kit, so where do I sign up to test?

See Oculus Support thread. Wags just got his DK1 today and I hope we hear what he has to say soon.

Awesome. I know it will impress despite the obvious shortcomings with the DK1. Wags, please share your first impressions with us about the OR in general and simming with it, DCS or otherwise.

DCS P-51D Rifted-How To From the Nthusm boards:

TriDef Ignition supports it out of the box, mostly. DCS works reasonably well with Nthusim/Opentrack. IL2 '46 is sweetness with Nthusim/Opentrack. Falcon BMS 4.32 brought tears to my eyes with Nthusim/Opentrack. But all of it is a somewhat frustrating, hack filled adventure. Payoff is nice if you are a simhead, though.

Must be some setting I can use to turn that off, no?

Love the Wings of Russia series. Thanks to BitnikGr for introducing me to it.

And that's why I support ED and so admire their accomplishments. Every product is the realization of flight sim fantasies I had as a child playing FS II on the Apple II. At my friend's house in the 80s we'd speculate that by the time we were X age, flight sims would look like Y. And now here we are with DCS, ROF, and even FSX still chugging along. Once the bugs are worked out of the Oculus Rift, the dreams of childhood will be ever closer to reality. It's a great time to be a flight sim fanatic. What a fanboy I am.

Nthusim, yes. I adjusted the zoom and it looks passable, but no head tracking. I was able to set up opentrack to a degree where it recognized the rift doing its thing, but no joy in translating that to movement in DCS. :mad: Any suggestions would be appreciated, friends.

Tried it with Mi-8 but no joy. Edited the file and put the dll in the folder. Any ideas? This would be awesome if I could get it going.

First post, gentlemen. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm a second wave dev kit owner and have been using it for several weeks. ROF is awesome on the Rift.:D Tracks perfectly, the visuals look great as you have come to expect - best of any flight sim, IMHO and hands down the best flight sim I've tried on the Rift. Yes, resolution is relatively low and the FOV could be bigger, but just before you start to feel a momentary let down you remember that HEY, I can turn my head left, right up down, sideways, whatever. I can track that bogey just by looking at him, but heck it's just such a joy to simply fly around a gawk like a tourist in Manhattan. Get the Rift. Order from Oculus or get it on eBay if you must. Nevermind the resolution, the lack of game support, the hacks necessary to get something to run. Forget all that because once you have it on you will never again be satisfied looking at a flat screen. I hope ED supports it, but if they don't I'll still buy the consumer Rift the minute it becomes available. I have seen the future and Oculus Rift is it. Hallelujah! :pilotfly:
