Help Please! Having to redo my vr setup. Plus upgrade to rift s

[BlacleyCole]

Before my laptop crashed for lack of storage space I was able to start dcs and go right in to vr without running the oculus app. Well so far I took the m.2 from .5tb to 2 tb for dcs, another 2tb will go in when the screws arrive to mount them then another m.2 drive that the os will be moved to and that leaves the 4tb ssd sata for storage as a library drive . The second 2tb m.2 is for x-p11. I’m also maxing the ram from the current 32gb to 64gb. The cpu is i7 or i9 the later I think but I could be wrong the GPU is a gtx 1080 8Gb iirc. Not bad for a 17” 4K laptop.

 

Now to my current problem yesterday I finally got the vr working somewhat. I’m I. The bed trying to do this for several reasons including health. I start dcs put on the hmd and oculus took over everything.thats not what I wanted. My old setup you never saw oculus software it was all dcs. Iirc I never saw the hanger screen but I did see the main screen. I do like the view from the rift s over the rift it was just better is all I can say but I wasn’t in it long. After oculus started taking over I closed it and shortly dcs disappeared or close that was all I had in me yesterday as it made sure that my flight got canceled. I was rushing things just figured keybinding the warthog hotas and the rv setup should take that long. It never has before.

 

Ok now the ask. Please provide me a step by step setup guide for dcs and the oculus rift s. Both are installed so if I need to remove oculus tell me so tell me the best setup for dcs on both system and rv tabs and misc if required. I’ve downloaded the oculus tray tool but it hasn’t been setup so if that is neededadd it in. If I need something else let me know Thanks in advance.

Oculus Rift or Rift S needs Oculus software running, no way around that.

You can disable Oculus Home in the Oculus software, so you will not see your Home environment when you put the headset on, just Dash. There was a time one could set Oculus Home to run as administrator and it not start up when putting headset on, but Oculus did away with that when they release Rift Core some time ago.

 

I personally find it no big deal. I put the headset on and launch DCS, Oculus Home fades away and I am in the game.

And if seeing Oculus in the headset really bothers ya, just launch DCS prior to putting the Rift S on.
