    • 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)

Guys, I tried searching but with the 354 pages of in this thread the results are useless, and there are no stickies or that I can see.

 

Is there a post or link I can follow to get DCS World working with the Oculus Rift DK2?

 

How about this one: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=134177

Incase it hasn't been stated already... You no longer need to pause the service to get 6dof working

 

Just run rift in extended mode, with DCS set to auto detect rift and turn cockpit shadows off.

 

Also found a LOT of the stuttering issues are caused by SLI. If you are using it, disable it for when you use Rift. It also reduced head tracking lag and reduced motion sickness!

And this app makes it easy to set the RIFT as the primary monitor. Something that's recommended if your monitor doesn't support the higher refresh rates.

Well, I

-downloaded & installed the latest runtime

-plugged in the rift

-Set the rift display to be sideways in nVidia options

-Set it to Extended mode in the rift configurator

-Fired up DCS

-Waited for a mission to load

-Alt+tabbed out and made the oculus the primary screen

-Alt+tab back into DCS

-Put on the Rift, Click FLY!

 

Seems a bit drawn out, but not as fiddly as I was expecting.

 

 

Amazing immersion, but the resolution really hurts it. There's no way you could fly a combat mission, let a lone do a start up procedure. I think the resolution will need to be 4k minimum for most games, but probably 8k for DCS.

 

Even still, the immersion is really impressive. My fav was flying the ka-50 at night through a city area, with night vision goggles on. And of course with the pilot model switched on.

 

The buildings feel like they are tall, when you fly about 15m alt. Really cool. And you have a very good sense of height, motion and speed.

Even the Huey was quite easy to keep in a hover.

 

If they can get the resolution to 4k or higher then it could be a winner. Anything under 4k imo the oculus will be just a gimmick, for DCS at least anyway.(In other games you forget about the poor resolution pretty quickly, but in DCS you are constantly reminded about it, since nothing in the cockpit or hud is readable)

 

 

EDIT: Oh yes, and someone absolutely needs to invent something where you can see your hands in VR, and interact with objects in the game somehow. It's the first thing everyone seems to do, is try to grab things and press buttons.

Did you have to Ctrl+Alt + del to Disable the OVR service before you click fly or there is no need any more to do this like somebody just mentioned ??

:helpsmilie::helpsmilie: please guys somone help me please, i Got my Oculus Rift today , I Setup everything and installed the Run time software before connecting the Rift just as they direct you on the Oculus Rift website , I tried all the demo they work perfect , i also tried a game called Affected and its working great . My problem is DCS i followed all the steps mentioned for getting DCS to work , Rift is in extended mode, trun on DCS , it shows up on my main screen , when i( ALT +TAB) to put the Rift on primary it goes Black Screen.

I have an ATI card ( 6900 ) there were people talking about that problem with ATI and they said to revert back to driver 14.4 which is what i did and still black screen not fixed.

 

Please if anyone knows of a way to solve this issue i would appreciate the help.

Unless a fix slipped by my notice, I believe that ATI equipment is a no-go right now.

 

Since I don't have an ATI, I didn't really look further into it, but I believe that it has something to do with an AMD/Rift/DX9 incompatibility.

Have anyone with ATI got the Rift working on his machine ?? and if so what Driver version are you running and what Card?

The problem seems to be with the ATI Cards as Markeebo mentioned.

 

Update:

I've downloaded a game called war thunder , its a flying game, By native the game support the Oculus rift just Like DCS , all you do you check the option in the setting for oculus rift and start the game with the rift in extended mode.

I started the war thunder game and it works fine although the resolution feels like 640 x 640 but thats another issue , So now the Oculus works with all games that supports the Rift ( I tried "Affected " , War thunder , and the Rift demo that comes with the utility ) they all works just fine, it is when i start DCS in Rift The oculus turn black screen although the LED light is blue and the tracking position LED is blue.

 

Any one has any thoughts ???

That's assuring :) , no i think im done with this ATI bullsihit , i got a Nividia card yesterday after the Oculus Support team told me that the problem is with my ATI card.

If we're to believe some of the Magic Leap claims (as written by the author), it would have the advantage over Oculus. You would be able to interact with your pit/hotas better. Assuming the projection of the cockpit works "as depicted"

 

I'm sure we'll get there soon enough.

Sure you can. Just don't expect perfection. Very much in development stages but definitely doable. I've had mine since August and love it. You're just going to have to come to grips with the limitation inherent to the emerging technology. If you can get past that, its a hoot!

 

If not, then I would suggest waiting till the first consumer version becomes available. Last I heard, it would be late 2015 but someone here "in the know" may have a better grasp of the release schedule.

Well the curiosity got the best of me, I ordered a DK2. Hopefully be here in a week or so. Anybody using dsr or any down sampling! Looking forward to try dcs and many other games and demos out with this thing.

Is anyone having success with SweetFX and the DK2? If so, what version are you using and how do you get it going?

 

It makes a huge difference in iRacing :)

I'm using DSR. Subjectively speaking, thing DO appear a bit cleaner but it's not a huge difference IMHO. I'm using 2x reliably. Tried 4x but saw zero improvement over 2x and it increased my overhead enough that I did notice increased judder. YMMV my friend.

How long can you guys keep these on your face before you get sick? That is what is scaring me away from the rift.

 

I get mine tomorrow. Was uber quick ordered last sat and bam arrive tomorrow. I'll for sure report my findings and if I lose my lunch lol

It depends on the game.

 

For DCS, I can easily fly for a couple of hours before I get fatigued.

 

Note I said fatigued, as you soon learn to avoid the sickness feeling by adjusting how you move your eyes/head when the fps is low. I haven't felt sick in the DK2 for months, even in No Limits 2. What you will find though is that your neck/upper body get tired from having to look around in a 1:1 way. Checking your 6 feels amazing, and you get a real appreciation as to how it must have exhausted new pilots looking around whilst being subjected to real G forces.

 

Regarding down sampling - as was stated above I notice some slight improvements but mostly prefer a slightly higher fps so have gone back to standard resolution. EDGE should hopefully offer some serious improvements regarding fps and native rift support, so will see how that pans out.

 

Buying the DK2 changed gaming for me. I can't play games without it now as they just feel empty. Mine was an investment for some future hardware projects but for sim fans it really is incredible

Cheers,
