Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

[SageOT]

One of us ! One of us ! :)

 

So I'm a bit.... "special" with the computer stuff.... If I'm flying a helo and want that controls overlay thing... I hit the right buttons and don't see anything... Do overlays not show up at all in VR view or am I doing something wrong?

Today i finally got my rift, And its so much better than i ever dreamed.

 

Even my budjet rig runs it great. Pixel density 1.3, its enough to make everything better looking but still i can spot targets far enough. I only fly nevada so 1.5 may be not so good.

 

I have been flight sim guy from 1990 (320x240rez etc.. ) and when i see what we have now i just cant belive it.

 

I dont't miss my triple or single screen setups.

 

My chrismas is now ! :D

 

Congraz, it is simply awesome indeed :thumbup:

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Yeah sorry i meant your pause button. Have you tested it?

 

Yeah, pause key works ok.

So back from deployment and setup the CV1. Simply amazing, the clarity and overall experience is such a huge step up from the dk2. The ability to zoom!! Using pixel density 2.0 with my 1080 and its gorgeous. Hats off to Oculus and a huge hats off to Eagle Dynamics for all the awesome additions to dcs world to make it so much better in VR.

Im really really amazed, no more 4k for me it will be nothing but VR from now on. The ASW seems to work very well on my end and i do not notice or percieve the change from 90 to 45. Maybe ive hit my head on jumps to many times lol. Either way Very happy and hope to fly with others in VR Shortly.

 

 

If you eject, it makes you want to say "check canopy" And a you get closer to the ground, it's PLF time, baby!!

Yep, I agree entirely, I've been a flight simmer since DI Tornado in 92. All I ever wished for then was better terrain depiction. I am now astonished at what ED and all the devs have done for us and how it looks in VR.

I'm only on a DK2 ready to go up to CV1 in the next few weeks.

Now I wish for retina spec VR.:thumbup:

Hey gents.

Since the last update on 2.0 and 1.5 i got the white mouse dot from oculus visible all the time. Anybody got the same issue?

[ram0506]

Yeah, pause key works ok.

 

Maybe your problem is related to the screen mode. Try checking full screen in the game menu. If this has no effect, press alt + enter in game an then try enabling the frame counter.

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Thanks. Tried, still doesn't work :(

Yep everybody should have it. Not sure what changed that made it show up all the sudden a guess might be that it's because the radio menu is clickable now and for some reason that makes the. Show up

[BavarianPilot]

Ah ok. Now i know it is not a issue from my side. Thank you sir!

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Has there been any word on sorting night time visuals out in the Rift? It still looks like someone cranked up the gamma stupid high.

Yesterday evening, Edd and I were in the MiG-21bis with our Rifts. During the start-up procedure, both of us suddenly got a cursor that looked like a fireball.

 

Is this a known issue?

[mambo]

Sometimes it's happened to me, with other modules

[funkyfranky]

[..] both of us suddenly got a cursor that looked like a fireball.

Yes, I had that too from time to time. But it is already a while ago since it occurred. I was hoping that they had wiped it out.

[NeilWillis]

It still happens, but it seems to be a lot less frequently - at least for me.

[DerekSpeare]

I hope they fix the cursor/mouse marker highlight box in the training missions :( :(

[Hawks5]

Agreed, jumped into the M-2000C training campaign last night hoping to finally learn how to operate it. Alas, it was a no-go because of this issue.

[Johnny Dioxin]

For me, I would rather they sorted the dialog box for the tooltips. Way too big, and blocks your sight of other instruments and switches - even when you are just trying to scan the gauges whilst flying.

 

Then you can just use the tooltips to find the control you need in the tutes.

 

I took to learning new modules on the monitor, before continuing in VR once I was confident of where everything is. I did the testing this way, too - and by the time I had run through the first tutorial a couple of times, I was easily confident enough to do the rest in VR.

 

By the way, Hawks5 - it's well worth sticking with the Mirage tutorials ;) You need to have it well sussed before tackling the campaign. It's also my favourite fixed-wing module, I just love how it looks in VR. Don't forget you can use the KIF utility as well - I based it on the module training mission and it's very useful in VR. I'll be releasing updates based on the other tutorial missions, too.

I've taken to loading the control panel screenshots from the manual into the kneeboard, any confusion and a quick scan through the pages usually helps

Just got the mail that my Touch will be delivered today. Wonder if we'll ever get any usage for it in DCS World.

do you have 4 hands? :)

 

BTW, I got Touch Yesterday

[Johnny Dioxin]

do you have 4 hands?

 

Can you pull your ejector handle with your hand on your stick?

[DerekSpeare]

You can change the size of the tooltip text. See below, Sec 8:

[Johnny Dioxin]

It's not the size of the text that is the problem its the huge empty box that it appears in.

[DerekSpeare]

Yes, that's another thing I hope they remedy.
