Oculus Rift

Yeah, neither Oculus or Steam will support SLi or Xfire.

From my testing I don't notice any improvement from pushing supersampling above 1.8x. I've actually settled on 1.5x as going back and forth I couldn't find any noticeable improvement in legibility in game.

FPS needs work, maybe I can do a few things to smooth it out. Resolution was "OK" but bearable...Do I need to change my resolution settings in game options? I cant read any of my displays, etc.

 

Resolution settings does not affect VR, so you can leave those at what settings your monitor use. You still only see the VR "repeater" screen on your monitor.

You should try disabling SLI and just use one of those cards as neither DCS or Oculus support SLI, or handles it very well.

Turn shadows off.

MSAA x2

Depth of field off.

You can try increasing Pixel Density. Like RoyMi6 I don't use more than 1.8 as I see no improvement over that setting. But there is a big difference between 1.0 and 1.8.

 

As Async Spacewarp was introduced in the latest Oculus exe, FPS will be capped at 45 if DCS can't render at 90. ASW will then extrapolate frames to fill the 90FPS refreshrate of the Rift, making the view look smooth and fluid. Works pretty well, although it can create some artifacts.

 

Also, the position of the Rift, on your noggin, is important. There is a "sweet spot" when it comes to the viewing angle through the optics. Play around a little by moving the headset up and down, and tilt it, slightly. The head strap should be positioned so that the triangle sits low on the back of your head.

Goblin,

You are spot on. You do have to move the HMD around to find the sweet spot. Makes a big difference.

Yes this! Forgot about that. It can make all the difference in the world. First time I accidently adjusted it from what I thought was good and... wow... big change.

Man VR is AWESOME! Also, do I keep my regular monitor plugged in when using Oculus?

 

I've heard of VR zoom...does it work with OR and how do I use it?

yes.

Unplug the monitor wont increase perfermance. Keep it for convenient.

 

Just a fov zoom. But only works with VR. you can find that option under "UI layer", bind it to your controllers.

Something to remember about any keys you bind in the UI layer for VR use...

 

If you bind it, but then change your mind and decide you'd rather bind one of those to a different key you'll need to restart DCS to change what you did in the control panel. The UI control bindings are.... sticky and won't change without the game restart.

 

Not an issue at all, just something to be aware of.
