RagnarBSE Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Hi everyone, is oculus Quest compatible with DCS or i need to buy S version? thx all
some1 Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Quest is not compatible. Need the S or another headset that connects to the PC.

wormeaten Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Quest is not compatible. Need the S or another headset that connects to the PC. The Answer is actually Yes and No at the same time. With additional software like Alvr, you will be able to use Quest on your PC as well with the benefit of wireless connection. BUT!!! Don't take it for granted before you see how this will function in practice. Just take it all in consideration before decide Quest or S. Edited May 23, 2019 by wormeaten
florist Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Agreed. The first feedbacks concerning streaming to the Quest look very encouraging. LEt's wait if someone can make a test with DCS and the decision suddenly becomes obvious
some1 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 It has been said by the developers of such streaming apps, that you shouldn't expect too much. Good enough for streaming some video, but not for normal gameplay in 6DOF with smooth FPS.

One would never get the same quality of image in a game like DCS in the Quest as would get on a PC with a powerful GPU. It would be way limited.

some1 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Discussion turned to streaming, not running games on the headset itself. Though not sure what OP had in mind.

BaronVonDoon Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I would imagine it would still not work well with DCS, mainly due to compression. Would the pixel density setting still work? Not to mention limited battery life
D0rmicum Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 My Quest received yesterday and had a short look into Riftcat today. Will try to install Riftcat to my Quest later today and can give you a short impression afterwards. As I'm a VR noob, I'm struggeling with my settings for the Vive Pro currently so if it works, any perfromance statements might be related to my very basic Knowledge of VR. But let's see if it works at all. Battery lifetime was about 2.5 hours yesterday for Quest stuff, Quality watching a test movie was close to Vive pro with lens mod. Right now I'm happy with my Quest for casual gaming, let's see if it works witn DCS as well. Modules and maps: all of them :doh: Specs: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I, Intel i7-8086K@4.9GHz, 32GB Corsair Vengance RAM, Nvidia RTX 2080 FE, 2x1 TB Samsung EVO 970 M.2, WIN10 64bit, HP Reverb
D0rmicum Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 First feedback: Quest and DCS work with Riftcat but from a quality / frame rate perspective I‘ll have to do some homework as I‘m having some issues with my Vive pro as well with the quest. My framerates are way too low. Regarding visual quality: I‘d say it‘s close to my Vive pro with lens mod but due to my framerate issues I can‘t give a useful recommendation at the moment. It looks like it could work quite well but I‘m not sure if there will be a problem when flying online as it seems that my 5GHz router is well utilized by the Quest already. Will give you an update when I had time to do some tweaking / optimizing Modules and maps: all of them :doh: Specs: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I, Intel i7-8086K@4.9GHz, 32GB Corsair Vengance RAM, Nvidia RTX 2080 FE, 2x1 TB Samsung EVO 970 M.2, WIN10 64bit, HP Reverb
wormeaten Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Like I say before Air Light VR is the solution. Looks like Quest is a better and significantly cheaper solution than Vive PRO for all those who can't play without OLED. This is definitely required proper testing from real DCS players. To remind you Quest + proper WiFi router is around 500$ and Vive PRO + controllers + WiFi module around 1700$.
cercata Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Wow, he looks impresed by ALVR ... my Quest is arriving this week, I have to try it, and see if it's better than with my CV1
Johnny Dioxin Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Bugger me! Thanks for that - I had a Quest on order with my Rift S but cancelled it - now I'll reorder. Was really hoping this would be possible but never expected it so soon. :thumbup: Rig: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; Pimax Crystal Light I'm learning to fly - but I ain't got wings With my head in VR - it's the next best thing!
Johnny Dioxin Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Yup, so I returned my Rift S (still got my CV1 though) and my Quest arrives tomorrow - I'll report back on how well I find it working with DCS World. Quite excited, though.

wormeaten Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Great so we will have reviews from first hands in real DCS usage. Have in mind how fast your WiFi is, it could be a bottleneck. But any way proper WiFi router is much cheaper than that WiFi module for CV1. This could be a solution for those with IPD problems or like OLED black more than LCD clarity. Just imagine lay down free in sofa, without the wires to watch some "educational" 3D movie. Back in the days when I was experimenting with my LG G5 most of the routers was 2.4 GHz and you will need 5 for better bandwidth. Here it is the best seller on Amazon.

Johnny Dioxin Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Yes, my router is dual band (one of the Netgear N600 range) and should be easily up to the job. I'll move it back into my VR room to be sure, as well.
