Since the arrival of the DK2, the VR playlist suddenly got a little shorter, given a lot of demos and games have issues running with the new SDK - DCS would not be one of them. It ran perfectly for me and I was able to enjoy a little flight time.
Notes to take from this... I had not experienced any combat in the sim yet, rather I was impressed enough with the basic flight model to justify doing a first impressions. See, I've been dying for a good flight sim in VR since I got my DK1 last year and it simply hasn't happened yet: until now. This got me excited enough to go on and give praise to this title!
Secondly I mention a controls config issue - which appears to only exist for VR users. I guess I'll have to do a few config sessions off a monitor so I can quickly reconfigure stuff until I find my sweet spot, then run in VR. The way it is now once you go in VR it's almost like leaving inside the real plane. Forget anything including a control key you have to "go back home" (exit to the launcher).
Third something I discovered after recording this is there appears to be frame stutter directly caused by Oculus SDK tracking issues, not the software title itself. Folks on the forum are reporting strange frame dropping that shouldn't be there. Mentions I make about performance here MAY well be related to that and not a DCS perf issue.
Last but not least... I really do wish this gets branched off as a civilian aviation sim. It's beyond good enough for me and I'd pay the same kinda buck charged for the war machines for the civilian stuff. Just tossing it in there - this software seems more than good for delivering on this.
Enjoy everyone! This flight experience is a gem in the DK2!
