  1. 1. Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion

    • 599$ did not faze you, and YOU PRE-ORDER IT!
    • 599$ puts me into bankrupcy - I will not spend that kind of money - WILL NOT BUY
    • on the fence, will BUY LATER (at retail launch)

Ok since I don't have my pit here in Germany yet I can't directly help you guys out as I'm a dk2 guy aswell. But with running this on my Alienware laptop I have found only way the game works reliably aka starts up and no crashes is to start it from the dcs.exe in the bin folder where the game is installed. No shortcut would work so don't ask me why but maybe give that a try.

 

 

will give that a try :)

Hey guys!

 

I think I have another problem.

My DCS World 1.5 doesn't identify my rift!

Can anybody help me with that?

 

Thanks! (I know it's Beta status etc...)

Are you sure you have to update to 0.7? I have seen people using 0.6.0.1 in extended mode who are running it and have the same amount of crashes as the guys using 0.7.

having 0.7 is best for edge, 0.6 causes issues with postionial tracker, trust me your want to.

 

using 0.7 starts the game in the rift and you can see the menu via the rift, its perfect and ment for Edge

 

give it a go, you can always revert back, but im sure you wont ;)

You don't have to load 0.7 if you don't want too. We are running a BETA compiled against runtime .7. If you want to participate constructively in the beta process and provide feedback to the Devs so the software can progress then you need to be on .7. If you think you can get better results with .6 and just want to fly then go ahead. If you do use .6 then don't report bugs about 1.5 as it only confuses the issue.

I have another question!

 

In the versions before 0.7 I could use my Nvidia Settings to setup my culors brightness etc.. (in the rift)

but right now I cant setup anything!

 

Any ideas how to do it in 0.7?

 

Thanks again!

Z-AXIS not working ? I cannot move closer to the instruments like I used to (pre 1.5). This used to help me read through the fly screen. I am on 0.7 runtime and the latest nvidia graphics driver.

I can so it must be a fault at your end.

 

I want to fly the ka-50, but havn't got that working once. Has anyone else got the Ka-50 working at all?

Getting it to work with HMD seems very random.. Tried out freeflight in UH-1 earlier tonight with an average 59fps (Vsync on), but now it crashed 10times in a row :-/

Would be nice to try it without Vsync and check fps.

Anyone figured out if there are any graphics setting that = CTD?

So made an interesting discovery today and hopefully the video of it will show it off....but when I run open beta and am connected to network and it logs me in - I can get a flight in maybe 1 out 15 times...very rare.

 

But if I'm unplugged from the network and try it, I can get about 75% success. I've been able to do A-10C, Su-25t, Huey, and Mi-8 with the instant action. I was actually able to load my training mission and fly different aircraft including the L-39.

 

The bad thing is that every time I quit it crashes...so can't save replay. So I've had to resort to recording what's on the screen.

Last time I looked, there was a special nVidia driver for the Rift. So it might be worth it to check into that for those who are using the latest nVidia driver.

Go here...

https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/pc/0.7.0.0-beta/Oculus_Runtime_for_Windows/

...and scroll down to find a link to NVIDIA Driver Version 355.83 or later Keep following the links until you eventually get here... https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworks-vr-driver-support

...Then just choose the appropriate Operating System.

 

So did I miss out on a window of opportunity or something? I've had open beta installed for quite a while now, but I can't seem to get beta 1.5 installed. How is it then that there are a lot of people who have been able to install it? Thanks...

I tried the nvidia gameworks vr drivers yesterday. They made no difference.

ok. But I recall that it did make a difference for me after I installed Oculus Runtime 0.7. I see now that the currently recommended gameworks vr driver has a higher version number (356.04) than the 355.84 version I installed. So when you say you have the latest nVidia driver installed, do you mean the latest gameworks driver, or do you mean the latest driver most people get from the nVidia website?

 

Finally, I also see now that the DCS 1.5 beta is available, so ignore all the stuff I posted about that. Thanks...

I have 356.04. Still has the washed out look and crashes constantly on mission load screen. I manged two flights in about 30 attempts.

That's not a special driver. I have the latest Nvidia driver and that's all you need. Nvifia are including all VR stuff in their drivers there are no hidden drivers for VR. I saw something about an SDK driver, but you only use the SDK if you are developing software. You don't need SDK installed just run games.

@roigat tried going off line and you're right, worked 9 out of 10 times!

Using http://crystalrich.com/internetoff/ to turn internet on/off fast and easy.

Getting avg 45-60 fps on different modules on MAX Settings with the Rift :-D and no super hardware - i72600k (OC 4.4), 16gb RAM, MSI GeForce 970 4gb

 

Tried it and it's about 3 out of ten times for me I get it to work, I always crash when I exit though. I hope they make this fix a priority because I only use the Rift with DCS and it's just frustrating I can't use it. I can't even go back to using 1.2 DCS because 0.7 won't work with that. I expected 1.5 to have bugs, but I ddin't think it would be this hit and miss just connecting with the Rift. I'm just hoping there's a patch soon and I can start playing this game again. I find it much better learning the systems sat in the Rift and playing.

Let's hope they decide to fix it sooner rather than later. I haven't 'flown' any simulator without the rift in a long time. I have xplane 10 and purchased all 3rd party helicopters. There's no sign of rift support coming to that platform - I haven't loaded it up since the early days of dk1! Just can't get any enjoyment from using a monitor with a flight sim now.

Thanks, Crunchy. That's good to know. I had wondered if that might not be case now. I like the idea of again being able to use the latest updates any time nVidia makes them available. No more wondering what I'm missing out on :)
