Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

 

I would imagine getting very good results in VR with that specification. It would be best for you to travel to visit a friend with a rift to try if at all possible. Having a laptop certainly makes it easier than taking a tower with you. Also if you buy from Amazon they have a good return policy. A friend bought one and decided he disliked it and got a full refund :)

 

Hope this helps you get one, you won't regret it:thumbup:

 

 

 

Unfortunately no friend of mine is involved in flight sims (no near one anyway).

Anyway i found an offer at 550 euros...but not on amazon :p

Is there a scenario or a settings in dcs which i can use to simulate vr and see the fps?

Thanks again

 

Ps in the picture you can see my notebook stats while playing dcs world enemy within campaign in 1.5.6 at 3440x1440 (settings below) and never down 60fps (neither up because i use vsync)

With that resolution to get 60 fps constant will easily give good returns in the rift with the same settings, 45 - 90 FPS is the sweet spot

Hey man that's the style. I had mine rma'd due to a fault and tried once with track ir. Then played company of heroes for 2 weeks :thumbup:

I think your system will perform just fine with the Rift.

What is the current state of ASW? I know several months ago you had to do a registry edit and use the keyboard to turn it off and on. Has that changed? Is the edit still necessary, and is it still turned off and on manually?

It is on by default now. No need to edit the registry any more. You can control its state like this:

  • Control-Numpad1: Disables ASW and returns to the standard rendering mode.
  • Control-Numpad2: Forces apps to 45Hz with ASW disabled. Depending on the application, you are likely to experience judder.
  • Control-Numpad3: Forces apps to 45Hz with ASW enabled. Enabling and disabling ASW will help you see the effects of ASW.
  • Control-Numpad4: Enables ASW. ASW automatically turns on and off, depending on whether the app maintains a 90Hz frame rate. This is the default runtime rendering mode.

I map my mouse buttons to x55 throttle rocker switch(down - left click, up - right click) works pretty well, then point with my head where I need to click. Although I do keep mouse enabled cause I still use it to navigate the \ menu and I like how this way the pointer disappears when not in use. The only inconvenience is that I have to bring the pointer back to the center of view when I finish using the mouse.

 

I mapped under UI left/right mouse to joystick, but in the game it doesn't work. Is there more to it?

It is a little finicky, when first start one has to make sure to click kind of in middle of screen to first get it to show, after that should be ok.

I need some advice. Currently I have a 2600k runing at 4,5ghz and a GTX1070. WHWhat can I expect from this combo with a CV1? I have the chance to buy one at a good price but I don't want to upgrade my pc.

 

Thank you

 

You should be fine, but make sure you have good RAM and run DCS from an SSD.

How is Oculus for flying the A-10C? Can you read the HUD or MFCD and see the TGP with good enough clarity?

 

I can no problem, as most seem to be able to, but some (small number) complain. It's almost like they haven't worked out that you can lean in a bit closer if you have to. Anyway, I can fight the A10C in VR without compromise.

The default view, which is much more forward than a real pilot sits, makes it quite usable. You shouldn't have much problems, esp. if you already know the aircraft.

 

If you try to move the eyepoint to a realistic position though, things get complicated. The HUD becomes partially clipped and reading the small print on MFD requires leaning forward.

I always fly from the correct eye position and readability is not an issue. Also, the HUD in the sim is accurate. In real life the pilots do in fact have to lean forward to see the entire HUD. Sorry to hear that you find leaning forward a bit, a bit 'complicated'.

Sommehow, idk why, the OR is absolutely clearest in the A10C. Much more than in the Viggen for comparison. Idk why.

 

Just make sure you crank up pixel render amount to 1.5 or more. Makes a world of difference.

Am I the only one who loves the Rift and VR in general but find it more difficult to play DCS seriously with it. Things like keyboard commands, 9 line briefs are a PITA to deal with with the Rift on. I think I'm going back to my TIR 5 and save the Rift for other VR games and less serious flying in DCS.

The only drawbacks for me are the performance hit (especially in the alpha), harder to spot targets and the warmth of the rift after having it on for extended periods.

 

I used to use the TM MFD's, but find it very easy in VR to just grab the mouse (muscle memory) and click whatever is not bound to my hotas.

 

In fact I wish I could go back to using TiR so that I could fly BMS again. But last time I did so, it just didn't do it for me anymore. The positional 1:1 tracking and the feeling of being in the cockpit are just too good to go back.
