Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

Is anyone having problems with the 1.31 Oculus software update? I have to have home running to get any video to my headset. This is making my fps tank.

Is anyone having problems with the 1.31 Oculus software update? I have to have home running to get any video to my headset. This is making my fps tank.

 

The official release of Oculus Rift Core 2.0 , disables the ability to run the Rift without Home running. Personally for me I saw no noticeable difference, but I have been running it now for several months through the beta. And I get into the Rift Core 2.0/Dash stuff.

 

I would encourage any and all that are not happy with this change, to use the submit feedback form from your Oculus desktop app. The Oculus forum has a lot of folks expressing their unhappiness with this change, best way to do so though is through the submit feedback option in Oculus app.

 

Maybe the more they hear from customers, they might consider doing something about it.

what's the ideal pixel density for the rift? I'm having some trouble reading the MFDs in the a-10c.

 

also, is there a way to set my game to show in full screen with proper aspect ratio in my monitor while i'm in VR?

It really depends on your eyes. But most set it at 1.5 and adjust from their.

Also depends on your system and performance.

With my current rig I can't go above 1.3 and maintain a min of 45 fps.

At least not with the graphics options I choose to have.

i did not test this extensively but I did set it to 1, 1.5 and 2.5 and didnt notice any difference at all. gonna test some more later.

Hello, do you know if is possible to disable vibration on touch controllers?

Because it seems that with the latest updates on dcs, the controllers vibrate continuously when you pass the cursor on a clickable switch. This is quite annoying and also drain a lot the batteries.

 

thanks

Guess I'm not the only one annoyed by this anyway ;)

Hello J...,

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

It's not that there is anything wrong with the controllers, it's just that in the application I'm running (DCS World) you find yourself pointing the touch controllers at multiple small clickable objects (buttons and switches) that are very close to eachother and everytime you point at something, the controller vibrates.. A little too much for my comfort.

 

But ok, now at least I know I can't turn it off

 

 

Reply from Oculus support:

Hey Matthijs,

 

Thanks you getting back to me.

 

You may want to reach out to the developer, as they control which inputs would trigger a vibration. They may have a way to disable it for that application.

 

That would be on a per application basis though.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Regards,

In fact I think is related to the latest updates on dcs, I ll try to reach dsc support to explain the issue. I ll keep you posted ;)

Hello here, few month now i don't tried DCS, i want to know if the panel is now usable/pushable by touch controllers, buttons etc in vr mode, the a10c for exemple. Thanks

[fael097]

ok so now I'm intrigued. how do you use the touch controllers when you have the oculus in your head, and the joystick and throttle in yoyr hands? I was having a hard time switching from the stick to the mouse without seeing it, cant imagine how would you do with the touch controllers

Why even bother with the touch controllers? Also bin the mouse in favour of a track ball. If you keep the trackball in the same place you should be able to find it with your eyes closed.

Yes, it's possible.

[dburne]

I personally bind the mouse functions to a hat on my stick.

yes, that's what I'd do, but I'm intrigued on how people use the touch controllers. just want to know how, not that I'm going to do it myself

I have used them to go through a start up procedure, that is about all I have used them for.

That

And I use them to fiddle around on the mfd's while cruising on autopilot during long missions

 

To me, using the touch controllers just feels slightly more immersive than using the mouse

Hi Fael...Do you mean you want to know how to activate them in DCS or just how people have been implementing them?

[lawndartleo]

I am not a fan of using the touch controllers with DCS as all I ever do is bang them on on my desk. What I would like to know is if there is a keybind that can be used to mimic the zoom of the touch controller (hold-zoom) so that I can get the up close view of MFD's and such. Something that I can bind to a convenient mouse button as I do use mouse for button mashing.

 

To my knowledge there is no zoom key we can use in VR as none of the usual ones work. VR disables much of the keybound view system from what I can tell.

I'm just curious how do people grab and drop them, it's not the easiest thing to find and pick up the controller in the correct orientation without seeing it and then dropping on a surface you also don't see. It's possible of course, but it doesn't sound very practical to me, specially doing it mid-flight.

 

so I'm just curious about how do people use it. as some mentioned, they just use it for startup procedure, so it makes a little more sense since you drop it and forget about it, but that's why I'm curious on how people are using it

Can you not just bind that in the VR settings in UI layer?

I have VR zoom bound to a button, and I press and hold for full zoom.

Or are you saying you only want it on mouse?

Gotcha. Yea, I agree with you. I understand how they do it, but I personally would have a hard time with that. Seems like the time it would take me to fumble around to grab the controller would be the amount of time it takes my plane to take me into a dirt nap...haha :D

Like this :D

 

 

 

[hansangb]

But on a more serious note, there are users who have a cup holder or a pouch on the chair where they keep the controllers.

[f3n3k]

yes, that's what I'd do, but I'm intrigued on how people use the touch controllers. just want to know how, not that I'm going to do it myself

 

I can't reply now because i don't try at this time, but if it's like VTOLVR on steam, i can use my touch and emulate the joystick. In fact in vr you grab the virtual joystick in cockpit with hand(touch), it's ask few hours to feel it. But for the moment i can't confirm if it's possible under DCS at this moment, i'm going to try this week.

 

Last time I try on DCS, just some type of button are pushable with vr, that's why i ask this question few post ago ;)

 

I understand some people don't like this, for them it's like a heresy to not use a real joystick, but for me in vr it's all or nothing with my headset and touchcontroller :D

 

Cya

 

Yes, it's possible.

 

Ok thanks, i going to try this week end ;)
