The Rift / upcoming Rift S won't use SteamVR. Everything else (as far as I'm aware) does - from Vive/Vive Pro, to Windows MR headsets, to Pimax and the upcoming HP Reverb and Valve Index. You don't need to use DCS on Steam though just because you're using SteamVR - you can use the standalone install of DCS with SteamVR, it'll automatically start when you launch the game.

Thank you so much! :)

Have you seen any reviews of the Index or video on of the Index flying in DCS?

To overexplain...

 

Occulus headsets have native support in DCS. So either they autostart or you launch them from the occulus menu.

 

HTC Vive, uses Steam VR to launch DCS (AFAIK)

 

WMR headsets, use WMR, then SteamVr to run DCS (clunky interface thus far). Wags mentioned they would look into native support for WMR.

 

You can use either DCS standalone or steam DCS with any of the headsets. If you have standalone DCS you need to get steam and download steamVR, but you don't have to run steam DCS.

 

Clear as mud hopefully. :)

you could start dcs in VR without staring the steam client. Go to your Program files / steam / steam apps / common / steam vr / tools

 

 

There is a exe called tools make a short cut. Steam Vr will open an you could start DCS without steam :)
