Can someone tell me if KA 50 Mission Battle is playable with CV1 I have a Vive and the Judder for this mission is unacceptable. It was always unplayable with DK2 wondering if the recent updates with CV1 have improved it.

I got my Vive Friday had a DK2 for 2 years and the recent software improvements have been amazing. I found it worked just as well as my DK2 for DCS I have tried a couple of missions and have yet to notice any judder. I tried Elite Dangerous and the Gods Rays were terrible so distracting that I wished I had not sold my DK2. I have a CV1 arriving in June I was hoping that it would not suffer so badly. Can someone who has both tell me the situation from 1st hand AB comparison.

FWIW I just sold my DK2 on Ebay in 5 minutes to a reseller for Buy It Now of $395. Basically what I paid for it 2 years ago, I couldn't bring myself to ask any more as I felt even that price was too much. I saw someone on here contemplating a DK2. On Ebay they appear to be selling for between 450 and 600. For a device which has the following issues. 1. Oculus will only support for sure till end of 2016 2. You can no longer change the IPD if you are using 1.3 it seems to default to about 64mm, and you need 1,3 to play all the updated games including DCS 3. The DK2 is relatively delicate I babied mine for 2 years. My advice is unless you can buy one for $250 pay the extra and get a CV1 , yes you are gonna have to wait but at the current prices you are buying a limited life item. Have some patience I am waiting till mid June and I pre ordered mine day one. I sold the DK2 as my Vive arrives tomorrow, I was gonna just keep the 1st one to arrive but figure I may keep both now I sold the DK2.

Seconded Rift stops detecting motion on Debrief screen so you are stuck. Fram rates great tho. DK2 only for now.

Yesterday I updated to 1.3 supported DCS. I ran a mission and there was terrible judder DK2 running under SteamVR ( I still had 0.8 loaded) Installed Oculus 1.3. Everything running way smoother significantly better than it has in the last 20 months. I believe at the moment DCS is much better optimized for Oculus than Vive. I have both on Pre-Order.

I cant spell challenge obviously

For those who like a challenge. In my previous life we used to have a sim challenge every Xmas. I developed this mission along those lines, start the clock when you hit fly. The clock stops when you come to a full stop on the runway. The Mission Get Airborne rendezvous with the Tanker fill up with Gas and then get back on the ground ASAP. The Tanker auto detaches when you are full. My best is 7.40. you can see it on You Tube if you want to. Feel free to post times on You Tube just for Grins. The Mission is available for Download " SU 33 Tanking Challenge." I also attached it here Hope you enjoy Su-33 - tanking_challange.miz
