sniperpr1 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I bought a Quest 2, but I can't make it work with DCS. I even installed the Virtual Desktop app, but nothing seems to work. I can make the Quest 2 work but when I start DCS I only get a blank screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 You don't need Virtual Desktop. First of all, is your DCS standalone or Steam version?

sniperpr1 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 I have installed the Oculus Software, as I also have the Rift S, and I have the standalone version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineGTA Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 And your Quest 2 is definitely connected to the PC via either AirLink or the cable? Make sure it's connected first before starting DCS. And are you starting DCS with VR mode enabled in the settings? i5-11600K CPU, 64GB DDR4 RAM, XFX Speedster MERC319 AMD Radeon 6900 XT, Oculus Quest 2, HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperpr1 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Quest 2 is connected. I have tried with both the air link and cable. I only see things related to oculus but nothing relate to DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperpr1 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Does it only work with the steam version??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ephir0th Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 No, as long as you check the Enable VR option on VR tab the game should load in VR mode if Quest 2 are conected via Link or AirLink. If not, add --force_enable_VR to DCS shorcut NZXT H9 Flow Black | Intel Core i5 13600KF OCed P5.6 E4.4 | Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 32GB C30 OCed 6600 C32 | nVidia GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition | Western Digital SN770 2TB | Gigabyte GP-UD1000GM PG5 ATX 3.0 1000W | SteelSeries Apex 7 | Razer Viper Mini | SteelSeries Artics Nova 7 | LG OLED42C2 | Xiaomi P1 55" Virpil T-50 CM2 Base + Thrustmaster Warthog Stick | WinWing Orion 2 F16EX Viper Throttle | WinWing ICP | 3 x Thrustmaster MFD | Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals | Oculus Quest 2 DCS World | Persian Gulf | Syria | Flaming Cliff 3 | P-51D Mustang | Spitfire LF Mk.

sniperpr1 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Nothing has worked so far. The only things I can use are the ones that are in the oculus store. Now I can't even use dcs, because it has to go through vr and I cannot deactivate it. Only a blank black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick_NL Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Did you start your quest up in another mode, before you startup the quest. you can hold power button and voume - button, you'll get a menu. dit you changed something in there? If yes, then here is maybe a solution: Edited September 7, 2022 by Maverick_NL MrMaverick Pilot in the RAZBAM Harrier DIsplay Team Mavericks Youtube: My Youtube Channel Discord: https://discord.gg/MRU8m5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperpr1 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 I have external wireless audio and apparently the problem is with the audio. It tells me that the quest has no audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its the oculus software, then turn off the device, open the oculus software. you can change by device the audio source. Below screenshot is in dutch, but you might get the idea where i change my source. nullnull Edited September 7, 2022 by Maverick_NL MrMaverick Pilot in the RAZBAM Harrier DIsplay Team Mavericks Youtube: My Youtube Channel Discord: https://discord.gg/MRU8m5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also can try to uninstall the oculus software, and reinstall it.

WinOrLose Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Do you start the game from within quest or the desk top? Up until a couple of patches ago I used to start within quest, no I have to start DCS via the desk top. Maybe completely unrelated but worth a try?

Hoirtel Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Also have you checked the "permit unknown software" in the oculus settings app (its called something like that). Also you havent detailed the steps you see when you start. Should activate the link from the oculus menu, then go into the white matrix room, then launch DCS from the desktop. I have disabled headset sound on mine and it works fine. Edited September 9, 2022 by Hoirtel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesD Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) In addition to what was said about about checking the unknown sources under the settings menu on the desktop app, here is what I have to do every time. It only takes about 5 seconds. When first turning on your quest you should see the following. 1) "Allow connected device to access files" ..... Click Allow 2) "Confirm Guardian".....Click Confirm 3) Click on the Quick Settings box.... Its the lower left hand corner with the time, battery life, and Wi-Fi signal 4) Turn off air link here, if your using the cable 5) Click on the Quest Link - Rift Box 6) Click Launch Your desktop should change and you can click on DCS if you see it on the left. Just be sure "use VRs checked" in DCS. I always just launch from Skatezillas utility so I can pick VR or Flat screen. I hope that helps.

Since an update or 2 ago (and also now stable OB since they are on the same version atm) i also get a black screen running VR. Before: DCS would start in VR and would show the VR mirror on screen after the DCS splash screen. Then i would put my headset on (Rift-S). Now: Since 2.7.17.29140 the DCS splash screen disappears but no VR mirror turns up on the monitor, instead i'm presented with a black screen. The mirror now only shows the moment i put my headset on.

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
