aaron886 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Only one stick and hand game I know that would work like that right now. I am sure that genre will be a hit with the rift too.. :megalol::doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burner_Tbird2 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Update: FaceTrackNoir now has a Rift plug-in in the latest Alpha build ( ver. 1.8 ) so it is now possible to use the Rift sensors for head movement in all TrackIR compatible games, including DCS. FTNOir also allows for an additional sensor to be used for head positional tracking for the full 6 DOF treatment. Next hurdle is side by side 3D with lens warp and DCS will fully Rift compatible :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhe Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Someone on the Rift Developer Forums used that FaceTrackNoIR feature combined with the Vireio driver to get FSX support going (read more about it here), so DCS must be possible as well. I'll test as soon as I get my much anticipated Rift hardware. | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

Do you have a link for that? Was it based on their mouse menu interface, or did they implement a joystick / HOTAS interface for controlling the ship?

mhe Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Sure, there is a making of and some background info: It is first person and is does have twitch-based flight controls like Wing Commander for example. It is just set in the EVE universe. | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

frogger Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 hi all , I had previous experience with the vuzix vr920 in lomac , some may remember my youtube video "now deleted" where I had a camera facing my head while wearing the headset and also an in game shot and I flew along with a tanker. these headsets are not for everyone and I admit if you want to use your cockpit then you should go the route of building a scale cockpit. these headsets are the best way to get immersion imo , there is no better way to just fly then to have a 3D HMD. as with the vr920 support was limited so we used things like glovepie to take the tracking data and put it in game , so I think all this device would need is the ability to warp the display of the sim. but then there is other software that could do this anyway.

mhe Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Not having a full cockpit will result in lack of haptic feedback, but apart from that i don't see much downside when not having a pit. I could easily put a trackball or mouse near me, I could put a slightly downward tilted Leap Motion on the front plate of a rift and track my hands and use mouse emulation that way and so on (and yes, Leap can track hands from above, not only from below). At no point would I need a real pit. But yes, it would be nicer. But I imagine myself to be pretty grumpy when I build myself the A-10C pit of my dreams just to have the Hornet come out shortly afterwards. ;) The nice thing about these synthetic setups is the flexibility - you can build almost all of the plane-specific stuff in config files and software and can switch between planes within minutes. Once haptic gloves come out in decent quality, there will be no reason to build home pits for haptics anymore. But this will need native support by ED then, because the hands tracked in 3D need to have collision detection with the switches in the pit to enable the haptic feedback. I don't think things like this can be done with driver injection as it is done for the visuals in some games at the moment. | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

Michaelski Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The mistake that alot of people are making right now is that you are getting stuck behind the Oculus's current limitations. The product released is the DEVELOPER KIT. No way shape or form the final product. So not supporting it becasue you cant see the keyboard is down right silly. Not to mention short sighted. there are already mods for the rift that incorperate cameras to allow you to see the outside world at the touch of a button. But by the time that is released you will be behind the curve because you didnt do enough research into what the current Rift is, or what the future rift will be. All this product needs for integration is a pre warp shader, and a program to tie into the tracking info coming from the rift. THATS IT. So to say were not going to support because it doesnt have X or Y in the DEV version is just silly. So devs, take a minute go the MTBS forums and just watch all the mods being made for the rift. The best ones are going to be part of the consumer version. And the fact the DCS supports it will drive a lot of people towards the DCS series. What you can gain for the minimal amount of work you have to do is off the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire2170 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I have to look through a camera to see things? So when my friends walk into my room I have to look at them through the screen. I will probably never buy something like this in my life. Maybe if all I did was flight sim. But I don't, so I won't probably need one for plain old gaming. Commercially and training purposes this thing is awesome. But personal use it looks un-needed.

But don't combine it with a buttkicker, shaking beer makes it spill all over the place ;) In other news: Somebody beat me to trying a Leap velcro'ed to the front of the Rift.

K Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Been looking for this. I am a new user, and have heard many good things about DCS World. I too would like to see Oculus Rift Support as it would be one of the only reasons I would even consider playing games. If possible I would also like to see support for a 360 degree rotating cockpit (like Max Flight, and/or something cheaper), so I could use it alongside the Oculus Rift for the ultimate Air Combat experience. But please at least put Oculus Rift support in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhe Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Popular science may not be the best source for this.

So it might not be this year for the consumer version, but it will be in a not too long timespan rather than years. | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

npole Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 What the hell is "Popular Science" a Disney newspaper? ahahahha.. there's new games adding native support for OR day by day.. the last simulation to add it is Project CARS. Actually we have around 3000 oculus rift owners, they will be around 13,000 in September, followed by the commercial launch (the current devices are developers kits). TrackIR is complete crap compare to the Oculus Rift, so please add the support for it, or at least tell us how to break into the DX with a injector like the vireo drivers.
