Must be gremlins in your rigs, had absolutely no issue with the Odyssey. Plugged it in installed good to go. Also for folks who think their isnt a big difference between this HMD and Rift, lol go to 1.5 pixel density or higher its amazing.

dont tell me this this.

many of other people have problems, and its be determined it was due to the recent windows update.

[hannibal]

NOT HOW I EXPECTED TO INSTALL THE SUMSUNG ODYSSEY.

 

ULTIMATELY I HAD TO DO A SYSTEM RESTORE TO A POINT BEFORE A RECENT WINDOWS UPDATE.

 

a windows update was blocking the mixed reality software.

uninstalling that update caused my PC to blue screen.

 

everything worked when i did a system restore, and fortunately the problematic windows update installed with with no problems (SO FAR.. SO FAR)

 

:(

 

SCREEN IS AMAZING. RIFT IS MORE COMFY. now i have to figure out how to get it to work with DCS.

Just use steam vr. Also with steam download the mixed reality for steam vr software in steam

I seem to have a problem where my Samsung Odyssey seems to start in head movement mode only, so I cannot lean forward, back, left or right. I can only move my head around and my body stays stationary.... Has anyone else experienced this issue?

 

So I only get 3DOF and not the 6... but sometimes when I start DCS it will start with 3 and then jump to 6 after 30 seconds...

 

Very odd

Thanks.

Did the OP solve the Odyssey WMR software problem? I spent several hours yesterday and finally succeeded. The key is to delete that KB...13 feb cumulative update, reboot, and retry.

[hannibal]

yes, thank you spesnaz.

everything is working now. it was that last cumulative update that borked things up.

 

others, if u had odyssey before the last update, you were spared from this ordeal

Glad you got it working. You should be able to achieve some pretty high settings with your setup.

Yep, and I am running some fairly high settings. :)

[hannibal]

so far i tried onward.. looks amazing, even though im not sure how to calibrate the floor. (i did in steam room setup correct) i feel like i 8 feet tall in onward

 

i hope to try it with DCS soon

[RePhil]

I am totally not good at this. I got the Odyssey plus to day and cant figure out how to get it to work with DCS. So help want to get it going before I change over from my Oculus

[hannibal]

make sure you have steam installed... once you have steam app installed, get steamVR. once you get steamVR app and steam, get windows mixed reality app on steam as well.

 

if you have installed the headset properly on windows,

RUN THESE THREE mentioned above, then run DCS.

OK thanks got it to work but when I use Oculus mouse works but not in Odyssey

[rjetster1]

You actually have the plus version? I'm excited to hear your opinion when you have it up and running.

I have the plus version too. You have the option in DCS, VR tab, tick the box that says “use mouse”.

 

 

The plus is awesome!

[TWC_Alamo]

I am a new plus user who has transitioned from the Vive. I have retired my Vive to my backup system. I can't see flying any sims in the Vive after using the plus.

[dburne]

I absolutely love my Rift, and am still hoping and holding out for an improved version of it sometime in 2019. If however, I only used for DCS - or flight sims in general - I would actually consider grabbing the Odyssey +.

 

But while flight sims are certainly the majority of my gaming, I do still very much enjoy Touch supported VR games as well. For those I think the Rift would be hard to beat at this time. The Touch controllers are pretty awesome. Now if Oculus lets 2019 slide by with no new PC-VR version, then I would strongly look at switching.
