Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

2.5 on live ?! We can play ?! or just download it ? What about oculus touch integration ?

 

2.5 is live, yes you can play, No, oculus touch integration isnt available right now.

[Ganeshka]

but ... they say in 2.5 whats wrong .... ?

Sorry, I might have that wrong. I dont have the Oculus Touch. So it may very well be in 2.5 now.

i just leave it here :

 

Palm grip axis is used for selection of interaction hand (with green ray)

Index trigger used as left mouse button mouse

Thumbstick as mouse wheel, X as escape button, Y as centering, A as zoom

 

Specially for Oculus in Steam VR: new command line option -force_steam_VR added, it allows to use Steam API for Oculus

 

Known issues:

- GUI renders on front

- no controls mapping for VIVE

[Ganeshka]

thanks , now downloading ... need to try by myself . My dream is using touch like natural hands gestures in cockpit with vibration :)

Very interesting, looking forward to checking it out - thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hijack this thread for a moment, but I could use some expert advise :helpsmilie:

Most parts still have warranty (at least the cv1 and gfx card do). According to the seller, the system hasn't been overclocked.

 

 

I don't think the CV1 warranty can be transferred. You might want to confirm that.

I’ve been away awhile just fired up 2.5 and very Impressed with the oculus touch controller implementation. So question when can we virtually control the aircraft with the touch controllers. I hope that is the direction this is going. Maybe that is the VR capability of the f18 module?

Pancake flying is dead in my eyes and this having our hands in the virtual pit is amazing!

X-plane 11 implementation is much better and controlling the airacraft is very awkward close to impossible to make any precise movement without having any feel for your inputs

I love Touch for the games that it is designed, but I can't see using it when I have a hotas for controlling my birds. Total immersion breaker when the haptics are missing. Even my stick and throttle not being a close match, positionally, with what I see can be off putting.

One of the things I love most about my Warthog joystick is the feel of cold metal as you touch it. I think those physical sensations are even more important in VR, and probably more noticeable too.

Alright so i've returned to this thread after trying everything, DCS works fine without my oculus plugged in. ive checked all the buttons in the vr tab but whenever the oculus is plugged in the resolution changes on my desktop and i am stuck listening to the menu music through my rift while staring at a black loading sign image. This is quite a frustrating problem.

[Rocky49]

Are you running the Beta Oculus software? I had some issue with Oculus and DCS 2.5 Until I reverted to the standard Oculus software. Had sound without video, just a black headset, my monitor screen still had video. Really weird

Trust me , flying without stable reference for your hand(i.e. physical stick) will make for some very clumsy flying, especially helicopter flying. It would be downright stupid for a true sim like DCS to take that wii-type route.

How can I, using TARGET editor, map Left Mouse Button to a button TM Wart Hog?

Been pulling what hair got left out.

Goto settings, controls, and in the left pulldown menu where you can choose an aircraft, go down to UI layer. You can set mouse, vr zoom, etc...

Thanks,

I'm not looking to set "VR Zoom", I'm looking to set the Left mouse button to my slew button on WH, for flipping switches. Same for Right mouse button...

 

Basically, emulate mouse buttons with WH buttons. In lue of that I'm just going to make my own mouse.

That's exactly what GurbY told you how to do.

[SGT Coyle]

I had tried that before when suggested and couldn't set any of the UI layered settings. Must have had "Hand Controllers" set on, and "Mouse" off.

But I see they're settable now.

 

Thanks,

 

Sorry GurbY,

 

Sometimes this thing can drive you nuts.

If you don't normally, try starting the Oculus software before starting DCS. As another post suggested returning to the older Oculus software, I'm running the latest without problems. I do find that some games require the Oculus software running first though whereas in the past that was never required. I would just fire up any game and Oculus client would start up then the game would start up.

[BlacleyCole]

I’m using dcs in VR without oculus no problems. I have had to go into the sound configuration menu of windows to verify and or set my oculus device as sound out and in for everything to work correctly.

Hey,

 

I'm thinking about getting an Oculus, primarily for DCS. I have heard very positive things about it but have read a few concerning things about the difficulty of spotting targets. Generally these were from a year or so ago, has this improved and how is it in 2.5? Also I've heard that the relatively low resolution of VR means that reading cockpit instruments can be difficult. Is the scale of this problem exaggerated and how far can things like variable pixel density address this?

 

Thanks

All this is still true.

Spotting target is possible, but for sure more difficult than on a screen.

And yes, most instruments are difficult to read.

This can indeed be improved by increasing pixel density, but there is no miracle and it's still difficult. Also, you should have a very high end computer.

 

So, VR in DCS is very far from perfect. But for sure the immersion is just amazing.

[hannibal]

i dont want to wait another 10 years for perfect VR.

 

i am enjoy the rift implementation as it right now.

 

but i hope in 3 years time we will see a slightly upgrade gen 2 hmd's
