Wouldn't it be wonderful to implement hand tracking from quest 2 to DCS to interact with your own hands on buttons and MFDs? It would be a game changer to enjoy VR even more!! We need this to get to the higher bosses, I think it's an incredible idea!! PD: I saw some options on YouTube but they seemed expensive or did not work very well.

well ive tried a few places to no avail, nobody seemed to understand what i ment so i made a video, i hope someone can help me out because i was having no problems the first few times i played and than i tried to up the resolution and something went wrong with whatever i did. it happens in star wars squadrons as well. in SW Squads tho i cant even get past the initial load screen, anyway when i start dcs the main screen is fine no issues at all and than when i select a mission and start it thats when everything goes to hell in a hand basket. the loading screen kinda like almost doubles rendered on top of each other and jumps like in the video here and than when i get into the cockpit it happens more sometimes if i kinda hold my head still and up high it wont move but as soon as i move my head at all the jumping starts. its nauseous and the game is now completely unplayable, i was going to get the p47 to add to my 109 and f15 and flanker mods but i dont think im going to now.... its very disheartening cause i was just starting to really get into the working of the realistic components aspect. someone PLEASE HELP!!! lol thanks yall DCS WHAT!!!.mp4

Hi If this is not the right section- please move this to another topic. Thanks I bought the Quest 2. In the years before I was a proud owner of the Rift and I was totally happy. But since I bought the Oculus Quest 2 - everything fucked up. First: I bought the Quest 2 , connected everything (link cable original oculus) , installed the app on my mobile, started the oculus program on my computer, removed the old hardware (rift s) out of the program. The oculus software realized the new headset (Wireless , link-cable), everything was on green light but: Then I've tried to start DCS - no hardware found. T have tried to start a video player - no hardware. Still the connection was on green- in the headset was a picture and the connection was shown in the Setup. I deleted all folders and deinstalled the oculus software from my computer and started all again from scratch. New download from the company, new installation, again ... same result. All was shown on green light, connection was established but it was not possible to start a video player or DCS flight simulator. So I decided to go back to my old Oculus Rift. I set up all the cables again, HDMI cable not found. I reinstalled the complete oculus software, cables, setup ... HDMI connection not found. So I checked the hardware manager - "Second monitor RIFT is connected" - so - it is definitely there, online and working. The cable is correct, original and working. All ports and USBs are updated and working. I made a windows restore - Oculus software can still not find my HDMI connection to the headset. Yes- USBs in and out, reset, restart, HDMI cable in and out in order ... I did everything what I found in the internet forums and youtube videos ... I have an i9 processor, Win10, 3090Ti and 64GB RAM - so should be more then enough. All driver updated- everything is working fine except every hard- and software from Oculus. Okay - I had a working Oculus Rift software. I bought the Meta 2 that is not working, reconnected my Rift equipment and this is not working anymore..... At the end of the day I just want to play DCS in VR- nothing more. So would be more then thankful for any kind of help. Thanks TOM

Greetings. This has previously all worked fine, and occured around a month or two ago. The game launches fine into the menu in VR. I can also play any other game fine on the headset. But when I load into a mission, after the first load where you press "Fly", around the time it says "Spawning Objects" on the loading screen the headset goes dark, the white light turns red and the game freezes for a few seconds. An error pops up saying something along the lines of "Displayport disconnected". After this the game loads fine, and I can see it in the mirror, but the headset doesn't display anything. The headset does track however, so I can turn the headset and see the change on the mirror. The light on the headset also turns white again, but as soon as I put it on it turns red. This only happens in DCS. DCS works fine in desktop mode. I have tried different maps/aircraft. I have tried verifying game files. I have tried reinstalling. I have (of course) rebooted. I have verified Oculus files and reinstalled Oculus. I had user mods installed, but as far as I'm aware I cleaned them out with the reinstall. DCS log file for one of these crashes is attached. Edit; Forgot to add PC specs. ASRock B550 Phantom 4 MB AMD Ryzen 9 3900X CPU RTX3070 GPU 64GB of DDR4 RAM @ 3200 MHz 4TB SSD storage Don't remember the PSU, but it's somewhere around 850-1000W. Please save me techo-wizards! All the best. dcs.log

Hey! I have an Index and a Quest 2. I usually play DCS in my Index. Using the regular Beta client, this still works absolutely fine. However, if I try and set the MT version to launch in VR mode, it completely refuses to open in Steam VR on my Index. Instead it keeps opening Oculus Home (even though my Quest isn't plugged in or turned on) and the game still just keeps running in 2D. If I plug in my Quest 2 and turn it on, it will happily launch right into the Quest in VR mode but I'd much rather use my Index (comfort and FoV). I saw some comments about Skate zilla's tool (which I'd never heard of until now) but alas, that isn't helping me either as it appears you choose a build by selecting the parent folder for the build, rather than the bin folder containing the .exe. I also tried opening Steam VR first, then launching the MT client, to no avail. Does anyone know a workaround for this? It's super challenging even googling for help on this as the search terms are always so broad. Thanks. Ps. I'm an absolute novice with DCS - I only play it every now and then so go easy on me with the nomenclature. I'll likely need help with context if there are any super technical answers. Thanks again PPs. This is the native DCS client I'm using, not the Steam version.

Worse performance in VR than before the update with the stand alone MT version (Minus 15-25 FPS), also MT only runs in OpenXR with Steam VR. Here are all of the ways I have tried to start DCS MT and non-MT. Non-MT started directly from the Virtual Desktop tray icon uses the Oculus runtime and gets me between 35-54 FPS, no jitters. I have attached all of the logs and screen shots Big Newy asked for. The short mission recording is too big so here is a link to it on my YouTube channel. The key here for Oculus and Pico users (the two most affordable headsets) and there are more of us than you think. 15 million Quest 2 and 590,000 Pico 4 sold, is that these headsets perform horribly with DCS in Steam/OpenXR. But ONLY with DCS, I run MSFS 2022, VTOL VR, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Project Cars 2, F1 2020 and the list goes on at high or ultra settings in Steam VR with no issues. Don't get me wrong, I think DCS is the best combat flight simulator in public access at this time. On triple screens with Opentrack, I have no performance issues with most settings maxed out. However, the depth perception and immersion in VR gives me a huge advantage low level in the A-10 and helicopters, simply because I know exactly how far my wing tips/rotors are from the trees I am flying between. I have gotten several kills on MIG 29s by making them come down to my playground to get a shot at me. My better half remarked the other day that I spend more hours trying to get DCS to work reliably in VR than I do flying. But in spite of all of that, I really am pulling for the DCS Team because there is nothing out there with combat aircraft that is as real as DCS. Please for us Oculus runtime folks, don't force us to go to Steam VR/ OpenXR. The attached game video is actually the best it has done yet, until the enemy and friendlies activate, then FPS tanks, down around 12 FPS. Enemy strength is only 4 BTRs and 40 infantry with AKs. Blue force is 3 APCs, one M60 tank and 40 infantry. The only aircraft are us four UH-1s. EDIT Forgot to include the computer specs.
