Any Quest 2 gurus out there? Can't get DCS to run.

[Maolain]

Not especially tech savvy, but managed to connect my new Quest 2 to my PC -- at least it says I'm connected (out of desperation I bought the super expensive cable instead of using airlink). While wearing the headset I click on desktop, I see my desktop (literally, I see my curved screen with my icons on the screen.) Using my mouse, I click on the DCS icon. I get the splash screen - again, it's literally like I'm looking at my curved screen through a hazy filter. I click on INSTANT ACTION - choose (for example) Hornet River Run. The program loads...and my Quest 2 goes black.

Any fixes you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I have a feeling out of my ignorance I'm missing something really basic.

I am assuming that you have "Allowed access to Data", and activated the Quest Link. And you are launching DCS from the 2D Desktop in VR from your description.

First, make sure you have in the Oculus software on desk, go to [Settings] (on the left pane) -> [General] -> Check [Unknown Sources]

Second, in the DCS [Settings] -> [VR] tab, make sure you have VR turned on.

Hempstead, I can't thank you enough. Did I mention I feared it was something really basic? I didn't know I had to turn on VR in the actual game. D'oh! Much appreciated.

No problem…. We all forgot to plug in the power once or twice.

 

Since you are new… the other thing DCS is really “surprising” to new comers is that it will detect all the analog axes for all the controllers you plug in and assign the roll pitch yaw to all of them…. Yes… yaw will have multiple analog axes from multiple controllers assigned to it. Same goes to pitch and roll. So, you “might” have to clear all of them out, manually and then assign just one you want. Otherwise, you might get into situation where you pull on your P51, and it also roll left violently and crash, or sone weird input coming out of nowhere,

 

The kicker is… if you plug in any new controller in the future, it will be detected, and its analog axes assigned to roll pitch yaw again, for all your planes. Hence, you will have to clear that new controller’s analog axes again….. for all your planes.
