VR Veteran with Rift debating getting into DCS. Can't find ANY reviews. DCS good VR?

[redmantab]

I've been playing Elite Dangerous for over a year with the Dev Kit 2 and my Oculus Rift. Also played 20 other titles in VR. So, long story short, VR veteran here who is very intrigued by DCS 2.0 etc. As we all know, seated cockpit experiences are phenomenal in VR...especially when combined with a great game.

 

I have googled ALL OVER and can't find any dcs2 Rift Reviews.

 

Fellow pilots and VR fans....would you kindly point me to a vr review for DCS 2.0 or provide a small one of your own for my consideration?

 

Thank you

It's phenomenal. And the first two planes that come with DCS World is free. DCS 2 with NTTR map is not, but you can get the feel of it using the free planes.

just download 1.5. its free. Works very well on my vive. you will like it.

[Insonia]

Anyway the main game is free. Give it a try , DCS 1.5,before you buy the beta 2.0 or any high level sim models.

 

It's still a flightsim.VR is some sorts of "simulation" too.Sim + VR is a Great combo.

 

If you love flightsim, serious knowledge about flying and aerocombat, then go for it. And actually have not many choices.

 

But the "VR" itself. Currently it still has some issues. Performance bottle neck, UI bugs, control etc..

DCS is one of the best flight simulators ever to exist, if not the best military sims to have existed. The VR is simply fabulous.

 

And it's free. What is there to decide? Oh, and it's free.

[EntropySG]

its amazing, even more so in the Rift. you will not regret it.

Thanks guys! I've been using Elite dangerous vr for some time with x52 controllers etc. . Will learning to fly these planes take me eons? Also, does 1.5 have the same graphics as the 2.0. Not worried about money, I'd rather enjoy the experience top notch.

[DerekSpeare]

Download it and install it - see it for yourself! I think someone mentioned it was FREE.

[Mango]

1.5 uses same graphics engine as 2.0. However, 2.0 will support new terrain which will certainly look better than the old terrain included in 1.5.

It's awesome. I prefer DCS to elite dangerous as a VR experience.

Wow, thank you. Good to know. Taking the plunge tonight

 

To get it running on my rift I can simply check a box in settings? Is there a setup guide somewhere around you recommend?

IN the setup, there is a VR pre-set and you can customize from there. if you have a capable rig, you can go with Pixel Density of 1.5 or greater (in game settings)

[redmantab]

Thank you!

 

Would I want to also use the oculus debug tool and kranky that to 1. 5 as well?

[Goblin]

No, pixel density setting in DCS does the same as the oculus tool.
