Greetings aeronauts. I have recently received my DK2 and had a few issues getting it to work in DCS. Hopefully, this short guide saves someone else some bother. Before plugging in the DK2 to the PC, install the Oculus Runtime for Windows from the Oculus Rift-Share webpage. Almost every other app for OR will use this driver/service, so you need it. https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/ You don't need the optional SDK installed for DCS World to work with OR. Plug in Oculus Rift DK2 and camera. In your computer's graphics settings (Nvidia here) activate the rift as secondary monitor and use the extended desktop setting. 1920x1080 @ 75Hz on mine. Rotate the Rift screen to portrait mode if not already rotated and apply settings. Install Bilago's Oculus service utility. https://forums.oculus.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=11395 Run the service utility and "Stop Service". DCS World will not display on Rift in extended mode with this service running. Ensure blue light is lit on top of Rift and camera before finally firing up DCS. The loading screen and finally the menu should appear on your secondary monitor. Go to the options tab and enable "auto detect oculus rift". Now, with the service stopped by Bilago's utility and auto detect rift enabled you should be able to start a DCS session that appears on the Rift. If i remember/discover anything else i'll edit this post. If anyone can add useful info to this please post your suggestions/alternatives and i'll add them here. Good hunting.
