Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

[BigDuke6ixx]

latest Oculus update Version Number 1.37.0.240899 (1.37.0.240899) makes Performance worse. I´ve updated today, on my last Mission yesterday evening everythings was fine. Now the Frames are jumping from 15 to 45 and the View is jumping...

can anyone confirm this?

 

Update your graphics drivers.

Greetings All,

...

My problem is that I have a neck injury, so my head movement is limited and painful, therefore checking six is nearly impossible for me without taking my hands off the controls and moving my whole body out of position....

 

 

Welcome to the club! Was even that way for me with TrackIR - which is why I concentrate on pounding!

 

 

You can hear my neck cracking above any sounds from the sim in VR. I reckon it needs a good oiling... :)

For airborne awareness I use the mirrors. Not ideal, but better than nothing.

Still no news on the 50% performance for VR?

[VirusAM]

Yesterday wags posted an update.

It will be in the 2.5.5 version but only for caucasus and pg map.

Nevada later on

Wags said 2 days ago: "2.5.5 will not be this week, but not too much longer now."

So I doubt it's for today.

[nrosko]

another year at least then.

I have been trying to download APP and Install for quit sometime now and it will not run now matter what I do. I get the message:

 

DirectX Redistributable

Error Creating Process

C/users/Rex G Lawrence/AppData/Local/Temp/iXP000.tmp/Dxsetup.exe

Silent - Reason-------

Can anyone please help me? I've got the New Equipment now Oculus S and can't use it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

It's a 3rd party map, so they would have to do it. :(

[nrosko]

Normandy will get some attention after Syria map is completed hopefully it will see some VR improvement s then.

Would be fine, even it’s third party. :D

I think the computer want to tell you DirectX has not been installed (correctly).

Try to install DirectX by downloading the MS DirectX installer (probably here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35&irgwc=1&OCID=AID681541_aff_7793_1246483&tduid=(ir__xmamthwxy0kfrzjokk0sohz30n2xm9623nwfxa0l00)(7793)(1246483)(%28669d0ab9ba84f117c0b3b3a75b077246%29%28190944%29%281835138%29%2868756X1554900Xd4884cf6f8fb53b85ab65ee16607071f%29%28%29)(669d0ab9ba84f117c0b3b3a75b077246)&irclickid=_xmamthwxy0kfrzjokk0sohz30n2xm9623nwfxa0l00)

So after reading the reviews here, thought I would bite the bullet and grab the Rift S, only to find it’s blooming out of stock everywhere. Dooohhh.

 

Although for a VR point of view, that is great as it does mean it’s selling well.

 

Hopefully will be back in stock in a few weeks.

 

Is anyone finding any issues with the inside out tracking though?

 

I’m reading fairly mixed reviews on different forums, with some stating it works great and others stating that it loses tracking with the controllers fairly easily, especially if you move them towards the headset in FPS and boxing games.

 

Also how’s the head tracking feel? I know my CV1 is the best head tracking I’ve ever experienced, so I really don’t want to lose that

Some people must be having issues because of very illuminated areas/windows ...

 

I just tried yesterday my Quest, and I was very Impresed by the tracking, miles ahead of the tracking from PSVR, almost the same than with my Rift CV1.

 

When you get the touchs to close to the cameras it has some issues, but Mage Carmack is working on it, I'm hopefull :)

[Johnny Dioxin]

You only have a week to wait for Amazon stock, though.

 

+1 on the tracking - mine has been great. There are sometimes when it goes a little wonky (only with Touch - headset tracking is flawless) but I automatically move my hand a little and it usually kicks straight back in.

If you’re in the UK, Argos is where it’s at. I luckily found one in Glasgow yesterday available to collect straight away or a few other available to collect the following day. I couldn’t wait so drove the 25 miles to go and pick it up (even though I work 5 minutes away and could have picked it up today!). Check their website out and put your postcode in.

Sadly showing out of stock everywhere now. Not an issue, I’m sure it will turn up again soon. Thanks for the advice

[dcs76]

My Rift S came yesterday and I am fairly disappointed. It seems the FOV is slightly smaller compared to the CV1 and most importantly the chromatic aberration and distortions towards the edges is absolutely horrible. There is only a very small sweet spot in the dead center of the lense which is sharp enough, but a virtual inch (about 2 cm) to the left, right, up or down of that spot the image gets distorted. So I basically cannot read text without staring just at this sweet spot and turning my head all the time. Neither can I read all the HUD symbology in the A-!0C without moving the head nor can I read the left engine RPM gauge when directly pointing my head at the right engine RPM gauge. At the edge of the FOV there is just a blurry mess. Mostly blue.

 

Im not sure if my Rift S is faulty or if this is normal. I will give it back and try another one. If that one has the same problem, I stick with the CV1.

 

Edit: I noticed there is a Rift S thread .... posting my comment there .... now. Don't reply to this post here pls :)

[Svsmokey]

Sounds like an IPD issue ?

[Johnny Dioxin]

Yes - same issues I had and same conclusion as Svsmokey. Though for me, the picture I could see was very clear, with a large sweetspot - even stuff well away from the centre was clear, but the FoV and edges of view were dismal.

I just got an Oculus Rift (a used one)

 

My system:

R7 Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, 32GB ram Nvidia 1070 Windows 10 Pro

I try to go to read all pages and pages but not able to find waht I am looking for

1) what can I expect as far as FPS is concern. so far I am like 22fps.

2) what sould be my config to make it better

Your system will smoke mine , and i generally maintain 45fps very low over Caucasus , including cities , in a Hornet .

 

My DCS settings as follows :

 

Water , high

Civil traffic low

Cockpit shadows low

View distance medium

Msaa x2

Terrain shadows flat

Trees 62%

Pd 1.0

All other settings off or lowest possible

 

You can trade the terrain shadows for increased pd if you wish , and you should be able to run some settings a little higher with that cpu .

 

Nvidea power "max performance" , win 10 power management "max performance"

You have to tinker with the DCS settings options,

 

Also, the new NVidia drivers have "DSR factors" in the Global settings. I fly MP air battles, I cannot have 'pretty VR' I need a fast VR. "DSR smoothness" is the trade off between pretty and slow and an 'aliased' image, mine is set to 10%.

 

In DCS, no aliasing, but SSAA x2 (which is DCS superampling)

["MSAA"] = 0,

["SSAA"] = 2,

["SSAO"] = 0,

["anisotropy"] = 0,

 

in DCS VR options I have

["pixel_density"] = 1.5,

which actually is also related to supersampling. Some settings only have effect on the 2D image, not the actual Rift VR image, figure that out yourself.

 

You muck around with all these settings,

 

to start with these days the "DSR smoothness" in the driver is the easiest setting to find/compare quick and dirty results.

 

To find your personal optimum takes a horribly long time (very).

 

I get 45fps with a 8600K and GTX 1080, but this can drop down to your 22 fps sometimes in heavy MP settings.

 

Your major criteria is total image smoothness of any head movement, not how pretty or ugly it looks. Changing certain settings higher or lower, do not make any sense with any outcome in the result, which is why it can take so long.
