smirkza Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 New headset on the block from Valve and HTC... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=139912 . OK,this is very interesting! Consumer version out in 2015, 90 fps and quite a decent res. Yep, as long as this works with DCS I may very well have to partake! I'm no Oculus fanboy, I just want a VR system that brings my gaming world to life! :thumbup: Cheers, Smirkza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiedDroit Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If each HMD will need specific support this is gonna be a nightmare. Yep, I hope they will agree on some standard otherwise we'll end up like in pre directX era where individual sound and graphic cards drivers had to be included in the games...

sundown28 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Helmet HUD DK2 Hi Guys, im currently developing a helmet HUD to easily see the most importend flight data. It already works in my debugging environment and it makes so much fun now to fly with DK2. Hopefully i can release a BETA soon. I will try to do a video this week, for now i have just two screenshots (F15 FC3). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralgha Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The HUD is possible to read in the DK2 but you have to do some work and edit some files to crank up the font size. I fixed it for the A-10C (there's another thread about it around here somewhere) but gave up on DCS in VR. Performance was too poor. Will try again with each major new innovation - DCS World 2, VR SLI, new headsets with higher res, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimFreak Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 So my understanding is this is not about Oculus VR CV1, but about mobile version that is tide in with Samsung GearVR..... therefore sometime end of year Samsung + Oculus will release product that is alike GearVR.

Frusheen Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nothing from Oculus about CV1 at GDC so far. Very disappointing but not surprising. They have obviously decided mobile is their priority for now. With mass consumer GearVR planned for October how long will they hold back CV1? Lighthouse from Valve looks really good though. It's a cheap free to implement tracking solution. We could have our hands tracked in the cockpit or alternatively physical switches visible in VR for those who prefer cockpit building. It also seems the HTC headset could be the first of many SteamVR headsets all sharing the same Valve developed technology. I hope LG take up the VR torch and we see Samsung v LG competing on the screen resolution front. Exciting times. __________________________________________________Win 10 64bit | i7 7700k delid @ 5.1gHz | 32Gb 3466mhz TridentZ memory | Asus ROG Apex motherboard | Asus ROG Strix 1080Ti overclocked Komodosim Cyclic | C-tek anti torque pedals and collective | Warthog stick and throttle | Oculus Rift CV1 | KW-908 Jetseat | Buttkicker with Simshaker for Aviators RiftFlyer VR G-Seat project: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2733051#post2733051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjonessnp175 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I wonder if Wags is just sticking to Oculus Rift for Dcs or maybe get one of the valve/htc kits and work on it for dcs 2.0......

chaos Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 All my hype has moved over to the HTC-Valve Vive. It seems to be an amazing piece of kit. Competition is good! Yes, I feel the same way. From listening to the keynote it seems Oculus is investing heavily into mobile to speed up the adoption of VR. They see at as a way to get VR into the hands of millions of users as opposed to a thousands of (niche-) PC gamers. They (Oculus) will release a 'PC-' version but there's no telling when. If there's nothing concrete regarding a release date towards the end of the year I'm going for the Vive... "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."

Markeebo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Interesting read indeed. I'm glad to see competition enter the market. We should all benefit in the long run. Short term, I'm concerned that ED will only support a single platform and no matter HOW good the competition is, we are stuck with whomever they decide to support. By all accounts, that's clearly going to be Occulus right now. I'm curious why we haven't really heard much about the CV release yet. Unless I simply missed it.
