tintifaxl Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Without SteamVR you can't play DCS in VR. If you don't need your Steam version of DCS any longer, you can ask the Steam support to delete it from your account.

kaltokri Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 If you want to use VR with a Windows Mixed Reality device like Lenovo Explorer you need to install Steam, SteamVR and SteamVR for WMR. DCS can be the standalone version. So you are not forced to use DCS in Steam. Even the standalon DCS client with VR enabled uses StamVR as "driver". The only acception I know is the Oculus Rift. It uses the Oculus software instead of SteamVR. In short: Lenovo Explorer + DCS in VR = You are forced to use Steam, SteamVR and SteamVR for WMR. I know no workaraound for it.

gordon200 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 First you must have Windows Mixed Reality Portal installed. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/mixed-reality-portal/9ng1h8b3zc7m?activetab=pivot:overviewtab When Mixed Reality Portal opens simply minimize it to the tool tray and launch the sim. You can switch control of your mouse between headset and desktop by pressing Win+Y. For Steam VR support you'll need to download Steam VR For Mixed Reality - https://store.steampowered.com/app/7...y_for_SteamVR/ To access settings open Windows Settings and you'll see a new group called Mixed Reality. In the Display Headset tab select High performance. Also in the Headset Display tab is a button under Experience for Change. There you can make sure your headset is set to 90Hz.

davevegas901 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thanks guys. That's exactly what I had going and working, but then I read threads like "should I use dcs steam or dcs standalone" and everybody is answering "use standalone! avoid steam!" but it's sounding like for vr steam is the only answer. I just jumped in yesterday and bought fc3 and nevada map on the dcs website and bought the "doesn't work with steam" versions, so I guess I screwed myself out of $50.

Torso Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No, you are not screwed out of $50. You just need to install the Steam app, not DCS from Steam. Just the Steam UI and the SteamVR will be included. You do not then install your game via steam. The standalone game will work with SteamVR app. Make sense now?

davevegas901 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yes and Thank You! I just flew an A-10 over my house near Rainbow and Lake Mead Blvds and off into the Nellis range, so everything is working fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
