jib Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hello pilots, this video shows my first Beta version "Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System" for DCS and Oculus Rift DK2. This software displays real time flight informations (HUD) directly in your Rift. Normally it is really hard to see the DCS HUD in Oculus Rift, this is why i'm developing the "JHMCS" for DCS. Now it is possible to read the most importend values while flying with the rift. It would also work without a rift. What do you guys think about? Sorry for the bad FPS, this is during video recording. The "JHMCS" does not decrease the frame rate. This looks cool. How are you achieving this? Is it a third party program or are you just using the config file to "project" the HUD data? Mods I use: KA-50 JTAC - Better Fire and Smoke - Unchain Rudder from trim KA50 - Sim FFB for G940 - Beczl Rocket Pods Updated!

sundown28 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I wrote a new software who is hooking into the directx api. With this i can draw my own stuff on top of every frame who DCS is rendering. The flight values i get by using the Export.lua. If you guys have some ideas, which values are needed else, please come back.
*Rage* Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I think it will be several generations (like Track Ir) before the technology is good enough to be a flight sim mainstream like the HOTAS and TIR.

Sure, but to fly with the rift is just FUN. Everybody who tried already DCS with the rift DK2 are loving it. The software i'm developing should just support all the rift fans.

Also if you need a tester I can fully help out with good Aar write ups as the next two weeks I'm going fully Dk2'with ka50 and A10c Is this basically repeating what the hud is projecting? So for instance in ka50 or a10c does the hud read out become dynamic depending on what mode hud is in?

I can not display the HUD who is actualy shown, but i draw the content on the helmet hud by myself and i can draw all values where i can get by the Export.lua. For the moment i display this values: - Speed - Alt (and vertical speed as a bar) - Heading - AoA - Mach - Gload - Time - FPS (just to check the performance) There are a lot of more values available and also some secred values. For the moment a draw a hud who is designed like the hud of a F18C. 1

rcjonessnp175 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Not so perfect. The very high frame ratio requirement of VR will be a very big challenge to turn DCS into a showcase for VR. DCS has been built for a desktop experience, and its roots are very far behind in time. I still had to see DCS 2 running at 75 (90?) fps in a typical mission in an average high end PC to believe it is possible. (I say "average high end PC" because nowadays there is a wide range of what can be considered high end). I'll be flying DCS with the CV1... or maybe HTC Vive :music_whistling: in any case, that's for sure. I agree.

I'm confident though 2.0 with Dk2 will be a much better experience compared to the current dcs world we have. Flying is just so amazing in this Sim with this devicE!

Chivas Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I think they are trapped in the endless loop of making it a little better before public release. Personally I think the Facebook monies allowed them to make a better initial hardware unit than they first envisioned, but probably the main reason for the delay is getting the latencies low enough, and the whole software/hardware system optimized enough to guarantee motion sickness would not kill VR again. I also like the fact they appear to have gone to two displays instead of one. There is too much competition out there now for them even to contemplate getting into any type of endless loop.
Python Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Meanwhile, others are catching up, or have even overtaking already in the case on Valve, depending who you listen too. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Chivas Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Its highly unlikely any development is caught up endless loop. That's what CV2, CV3's are for. The main criteria for the first version is not about the endless loop of better bells and whistles, but about creating the first VR unit that works, and doesn't alienate the consumer again. This is crucial. It shouldn't matter to us who wins the race, the competition is the best thing that could happen to consumers. I also doubt Valve or Oculus will be losers, as its highly likely both will release very competitive consumer versions. The question for us will be which VR unit is best suited for software we want to run, and each individuals purpose, not which VR unit has slightly better specs. Neither has released a consumer version, and there are always delays, so whichever company suffers the least amount of delays will probably reach the market first, but that certainly won't guarantee market dominance. That's one of the reasons Oculus has focused so much effort on third party developers, as there is no point being first to the market with not enough user content. It will be interesting to see how the Valve hardware will be able to integrate with all the content currently being made for Oculus, and if there will be enough to satisfy the market if Valve does manage to release their consumer version this year. Who knows some VR unit might find the killer app that everyone has to have.
Python Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I agree. OR is no longer the leader in this race. Seems that way. I'm liking the look of the Vave/HTC set, but I have no vested interest in any tbh. I'm just a consumer that wants the best VR headset with a high res screen and an immersive experience. Therefor I'll be watching how all of them progress and I'll decide which one to get down the line. I hope ED supports them all. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I agree, unless there are some major optimizations on how VR runs, its unlikely that we will see 4k displays until much later consumer versions. I do like that the fact that Oculus has partnered with the display manufacturer Samsung which could allow them to have custom displays expressly built for the requirements of VR as this new tech improves.
