Getting started with DCS and Oculus


FlyBoyd

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, hoping to get some help here.

 

I am new with the rift (great xmas present!) and am having some issues getting started in DCS. I installed the oculus software and everything there is running great. But when I start DCS I see the screen on my monitor (what I should be seeing in the rift) but when I put on the headset I don't see anything. What am I missing?

 

I tried following a guide on here from a 2014 post but that had me install a runtime for windows and after I did that I got nothing at all, so I did a complete reinstall and now I just want to run DCS.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Hey FlyBoyd,

 

welcome to the Rift-Club. You will be amazed as soon as you get it running...

 

First approach:

 

Did you allow Oculus within it´s settings to run third party applications?

Cheers,

Did you activate the VR-Headset in DCS-options?

In the DCS-Option menu there is a tab especially for VR. There you have to klick "Activate VR-Headset". After that DCS is starting new and then you see all in the Oculus.

use SKATEZILLA's updater tool, it will allow to launch dcs with or without vr as well .
