Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

[funkyfranky]

I’m away from my computer and I will be till the 19th of July

I’m on beta test channel so I have oculus ver 1.27 installed but I have oculus home 2.0 turned off

I have my oculus software set to run as administrator and the software doesn’t open when I launch DCS world

The last time I tried was 3 days ago and it was working perfectly

For me that is not working any more. I'm also on the Oculus beta branch. It was working like a charm but then stopped after some update. Now when setting Oculus home to run as administrator, DCS starts in VR mode, but the screen in the Oculus stays black.

That happened to me as well as discussed also with dburne in another thread on this forum

He suggested to turn off oculus home 2 and to turn off beta test channel or whatever is called

I did what he suggested and everything went back to normal

Then after some time I wanted to see if with the beta version they fixed the “run as administrator thing” and I redownloaded the 1.27 beta version but still keeping home 2 off

And it is working

I lunch Dcs world, oculus home doesn’t open and when I wear the rift I see the image as normal

Don’t know why but it’s like this

Sorry not to be able to help more than this but this is exactly what I’ve done

[BlacleyCole]

FF agreed why have the overhead it would be nice if the OS would open dcs but before it wouldn’t because of the long load times.

 

I’ll have to check the os version settings but run as admin should be set.

Can anyone tell me if the NS430 Navigation popup works in VR?

 

The video I watched about says no, but the product description page is unclear in that it describes generic VR system requirements and does not state it does not work in VR.

[Johnny Dioxin]

The product description page is not unclear at all - it has a very clear statement concerning VR at the bottom.

 

Edit - it isn't at the bottom any more - it's in the middle of the description, in a line all on its own:

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/special_offers/ns430_and_ns430_mi8mtv2_bundle/

 

and

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/special_offers/ns430_and_ns430_l39_bundle/

 

Don't know which page you were looking at - but these are very clear that it doesn't work in VR.

Thanks for that answerlecturexplanation :thumbup:

 

Here's a screen from the module at issue. I'm not reading the VR incompatibility statement.

 

However, after more investigation, if one clicks on the product link, there is more information there, which does state VR is a no go. Odd they wouldn't put that in the main description, though...

[Johnny Dioxin]

I think it's because that's the details for the general module - and the two modules that fit into the L-39 and Mi-8 are VR compatible, but the pop-up ones aren't. So I'm guessing they put that info only on the pop-up detail pages (as it's offered in both bundle deals).

 

edit - nah, can't be it - that is for the pop-up, isn't it? No idea why it's not on that page, then.

Goodnight to everyone.

 

I was flying during the night and I realize now that I can see the back (looks like black piece of fabric) the oculus front, I adjusted the gamma almost to 1.2 or 1.3 but I still can see this, really annoying during night flights.

 

Any ideas?

Looking for suggestions. Can any of you guys see ground targets through the HUD in VR?

 

I'm flying in VR with the Oculus. I've read all the threads on model enlargement and resolution and know its an issue being worked on by ED.

 

I've finally sorted out the spotting with planes but I can't see the ground targets at all (even with labels-which show roughly where target is but can't be used for targeting).

 

I've dropped PD to 1.0, tried MSAA off and on...nothing helps.

 

I can barely spot the target out the side of the canopy (clear glass) but as soon as I roll in on my run the target vanishes in the tint of the HUD...there's no contrast at all with the terrain.

 

Is there a way to turn the HUD tint off? Any suggestions on how you guys remedy and deal with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers, Jason

Ground targets are hard to see in reality. Flying the A-10C I find correct use of the pod and binoculars (VR Zoom) helps a look, just like in reality.

Does anyone here care to elaborate on how good DCS actually looks in VR? I just got a gaming computer about a week ago and I got Oculus Rift and Touch for $350 bucks on Amazon Prime Day last week. I have a PSVR and am super excited to see how this game looks in VR. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy hunting!!

[arturojgt]

I bought recently an OCULUS RIFT and I will never going to flight in a flat screen ever again, this VR things make a point of no return for me.

It's both a blessing and a curse!! Have to keep settings down for good performance but once you go VR - there's no going back.

[Greyman]

You can try DCS World for free, so just give it a try.

Once you have all the hardware...give it a go!

[Johnny Dioxin]

I read someone saying that they could remove the VR cursor (the blue cross) by clicking the mousewheel.

 

I tried this and it doesn't work - I thought it wasn't possible to remove the blue cursor yet, anyway.

 

Anyone know anything about this?

I see the cursor when I move my mouse or push any mouse button. If I don't use it at all for a time the BC goes away. Sometimes after a short time, sometimes after a long time, and sometimes not at all.

 

 

I mostly use a custom game controller I made. I set the buttons in the UI settings.

Yes you can

[sparkchaser2010]

So after a long hiatus from flight simming going back to SF1/SF2 and LOMAC days I decided to jump back in on 2.5 running full VR. Man what a difference a decade makes lol Still have some tweaking to do but flying the Hog in VR is a blast!
