Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

[SkateZilla]

snapviews help alot with guages and mfds.

[Kayos]

Yes. Very much needed. To bad the Rift doesn't have an on/off switch. Maybe two seperate. Exe launchers for DCS vs the GUI check box? Don't know, but something that doesn't force a restart to turn on/off VR would be great.

 

I just added all the view keys to my VoiceAttack profile last night. Works great, and no wasted HOTAS keys that way.

Is there a switch you can use to start it with VR off? If so you could just create an extra shortcut with the no VR switch at the end.

True. Not sure. I don't think anyone has mentioned one....

Hard to believe you guys don't see a difference. For me the gauges are night and day clearer with PD 1.5 and above. I don't see much past 1.5 myself but the difference from 0 to 1.5 for me is staggering.

 

 

Are they clear

Clear is a strong word... Able to be read without straining? For me yes. 1.6 is what I found works for me. With that the HUD is clear and crisp as are most dials and the ones I could not read before are able to be read without having to focus on them for a long period of time.

For anyone who has The Gazelle,Can you read the small switches toward the bottom of the panel using Pixel Density?

Thank You

Nice timing... now show something from that seat you've been working on. :smilewink:

 

Mate, it arrived this morning. Running on my old rig with a GTX 1070 and sitting in the ejection seat is just unbelievable. Already messaged a couple of other pilots to get over here and test it out. Flying the Mirage2000 is just great.

 

And I haven't altered any pixel density settings yet either.

I hope you mean 1.0 and not 0

That is an awesome drive, got that same M.2 Drive as well, installed into this:

I see we got same speaker set and rudder pedals :) I wonder what's on the platform :)

 

By the way I just got my wife to take photo of me while holding a ruler under my nose, looks like my IPD is 69.8mm (just on the limit of 70 for OR) :music_whistling:

[Krupi]

So my order says shipped however the UPS number still isn't working!

 

Anybody have this issue?

[=DECOY=]

It did this on mine. I had to wait until the item was collected by ups for it to register.

Mine was the same and it took approx 5 days from the notification it was shipped. Well worth the wait Krupi,

A little more work yet before I show you the new one, getting there. There is going to be two side by side though :)

 

I am loving Eve Valkerie, it feels like Battlestar Galactica when taking off.... and Katie Sackoff is the voice :)

[Krupi]

Well the tracking website updated to "Ready for UPS" and the delivery date is 'unknown' however I also got an email from UPS MyChoice stating that I have a parcel delivery expected tomorrow.. :bounce: do I dare believe it to be in my hands tomorrow! :fear:

How's everyone's frame rates looking with and without pixel density turned up? I decided to run some tests last night with my FPS counter turned on. I managed a steady 45 fps in downtown Las Vegas with a steady 90+ fps out in the desert away from building and additional scenery. Trying similar tests in my Steam version of 1.5 the frame rates were much worse dipping as far south as 20 fps near Anapa and the coast. The water in 1.5 also seemed to have some very odd issues using the Rift. I would say 2.0 is much better optimized for the Rift. (all settings maxed except MAA which I tried between 2 and 8 but saw no noticeable frame rate change)

 

Also, I tried turning up pixel density using the tool but didn't seem to notice any change. Someone mentioned that it doesn't work if DCS is not installed in the default location (which mine isn't). How do you work around this?

[KatBreath]

You Guys have convinced me...

I just pulled the trigger and hopefully will get mine in August.
