Oculus CV 1 first impressions/gameplay/bugs

[bmezz]

I got my CV1 this week and I can say without a doubt it is absolutely amazing! The HUD is much clearer now and there is zero lag or stuttering anymore.

 

the resolution has a long, long way to go---and I know that will take a few years to get there---but the 'screen door' effect is greatly diminished and its just much easier to see overall.

 

One issue I'm having at the moment though is that sometimes the view will just start randomly start changing---and for this there is no cure (no Num 5 will stop it) I have to completely reboot the computer and start over. Once it starts happening it also happens in the Oculus home page---so maybe its an Oculus and sensor issue.

 

Overall the CV1 takes what was pretty decent about the DK2 and improves on it immensely.

 

I am luck and happy to be in the VR world---there is no going back now--this is what flight simmers have been waiting for since the days of Jane's USNF 97'.

 

on a side note--Elite Dangerous looks ridiculous on the CV1!!!---doing a planetary approach and landing will blow your mind (Horizons)

Maybe you have some trouble with light from the sides or from behind? I notice this with my TrackIR and have to dim the lights during use.

But i have no idea if this could be an issue for the Rift.

The CV1 uses infrared leds much like TrackIR, so yes make sure you don't have any other IR source than the HMD. (Sun etc).

Although, even with DK2, I *never* had tracking problems. And my HMD faced a window. But simple enough to test out, I suppose.

Yeah---its definitely a DCS thing. I played Elite for about 2 hours tonight and had no problems---It's happening in World and Nevada so I am hoping they will address it soon. this is something that could get pretty annoying in a bout a month.
