Wahoo12 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I'm looking at VR as an option to allow me to look around the cockpit better (especially with the F-14 releasing soon™) and I can't help but feel bad about the Rift and Vive's price. The Oculus Go is much cheaper, but does it even work with DCS? I've heard that it's also only 3 degrees of freedom. How much does that affect gameplay?

streakeagle Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Oculus Go is not a PC peripheral. It is a stand alone device similar to a small tablet with a head mount (something you can achieve to some degree with a good cell phone). The Rift and Vive are relatively low in graphics quality compared to a 2d display. But they are so immersive that many, perhaps even most are prepared to give up graphics quality for 1:1 head tracking, wide field-of-view, and stereoscopic 3d. If you have the money and/or a PC able to support them, I would consider a Rift or Vive. Even with their limitations, they provide a fantastic experience that cannot be replicated with TrackIR and a monitor. If you are tight on money, keep flying 2d and remain blissfully ignorant of what VR really has to offer. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Quadg Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 a rift is one third the price of a ultrawide.. so I bought a rift instead of an ultrawide. and have not flown 2d since. or even looked at new monitors.. My Rig: AM5 7950X, 32GB DDR5 6000, M2 SSD, EVGA 1080 Superclocked, Warthog Throttle and Stick, MFG Crosswinds, Oculus Rift.
TheOtherSider Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) This is technically not true. I am currently using an Oculus go to vr in DCS world. it works freakishly well actually. There are a few apps and some minor tweaks but it is totally possible to stream DCS world to the go. Mind you only have 3 DOF but it is still a step up over track IR without the expense of a rift or a vive. Here is how. Edited July 19, 2019 by TheOtherSider

Ala12Rv-Tundra Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 I think every system has a proper application. Oculus Go must be great to play Beat Saber.

Points to above post with accompanying youtube vids on how to do it and to demonstrate it working. I literally just flew a hornet and a black shark for like 5 hours with an Oculus go.

I mean, you need a computer to plug in your HOTAS system and other controllers, right? that´s where I think Go loses the battle. Or maybe Im plainly wrong; it could be the same case when other guys affirm MFD Cougars are irrelevant and useless when using VR, but for me they work perfect and despite being "blind", I use them based on muscle memory.

My PC is still running everything my HOTAS and DCS world its self.

I am having trouble gettiing a smooth frame rate in DCS in VR First of all, press Alt+Enter to go fullscreen, I have very bad performance otherwise. Second, I don´t fly on massive MP servers, I have 3-6 sqnmates mostly. Missions tend to be small(no Inferno, GAW, etc...) I use Oculus Tray Tool to set a Pixel Density of 1.5 and CPU high priority.

TomVR Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 anyone tried a quest? would be nice to set up my hotas gear on the patio and a long usb extender

TheOtherSider Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 anyone tried a quest? would be nice to set up my hotas gear on the patio and a long usb extender ALVR the program I use to stream DCS to my Oculus go works with The Quest so I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work for DCS. the quest would likely work better since it has 6 dof.
jetSonic Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 I tested Google cardboard and selfmade head tracking together. Works fine as 6DOF. I think when you use GO and head tracking you get good preformance and 6 DOF.
chrome9 Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 sorry I know old thread, but I had the quest for a short while, and it seems to be the go to, since it has an oled , no thanks to rift s. I might add that I had top of the line wifi equipment, that might be the only downfall for some
