joebloggs Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 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. Same here, but I can't use a monitor anymore because I have a pit that has only controls and the Oculus Rift attached to it. So basically all the setup in the pic is going to waste until this gets fixed. I'm starting to wish I never set this up for the Oculus now. But I'll be well please if it gets fixed quickly.
frank7006 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 We really need the devs of SweetFX to update it to be compatible with Oculus 0.7. SweetFX dramatically increases clarity on games like iRacing.
phant Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Crash problems apart, how feel the Rift on 1.5 in terms of quality image, tracking and immersion in general, compared to last support version? Bye Phant Edited October 6, 2015 by phant
joebloggs Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Crash problems apart, how feel the Rift on 1.5 in terms of quality image, tracking and immersion in general, compared to last support version? Bye Phant I think it's twice as good after I actually get in after the 10th time of crashing. Inside the cockpit is so much clearer. I have managed to get in the Ka-50 3 out of 20 attempts and it looks stunning inside this cockpit. Can't wait for it to be fixed to do a night mission. At the moment it's just to frustrating with the mission loading crash bug and having to keep restarting my PC. I can't see restarting my Pc so often is doing it anygood :joystick:
frank7006 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I'm probably getting 35 fps on medium settings in the Mig 21 with a 980 ti superclocked. That's depressing.
Crunchy Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I'm probably getting 35 fps on medium settings in the Mig 21 with a 980 ti superclocked. That's depressing. You need to turn Visb Range to low and turn shadows off. There the two settings that make a big difference in the Rift. With Visability range set to low you don't miss much in the rift because of the res it's got. What Cpu do you have? I suspect it's a good one with that 980Ti.
LuSi_6 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I'm probably getting 35 fps on medium settings in the Mig 21 with a 980 ti superclocked. That's depressing.

In game it's 1st person be default (although you can go to outside views if you want to). I just finished a KA50 mission. It's incredible how the hide and seek aspect comes to life when you can lean in your cockpit and try and look past buildings. The res isn't enough at the moment to spot properly, and the 0.7 SDK brightness problem causes some issues, but wow when it comes together it's simply incredible! Cheers, Smirkza

The views I saw were cockpit on left of screen, outside view on right side, or 2 cockpit views on screen. Is this what I can expect? I'm not sure I understand your question correctly, I believe you are asking what "you see." What VR users see is a single image, though it's in stereoscopic 3D. Each eye gets a slightly different angle on the same image and your brain creates the 3D space. It is the most amazing experience in video games I have ever had. You "feel" like you could flip every switch, press every button and turn every dial - just by extending your hand. Win 10 Pro 64Bit | 49" UWHD AOC 5120x1440p | AMD 5900x | 64Gb DDR4 | RX 6900XT

brubeck Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Hi everyone, To address the crashing problem I was having when starting any mission I found this thread helpful>> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68060 Reducing the paging file to 64mb had the most immediate effect.

Cowboy10uk Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Hi guys, Now I see that the issue with the DK2 crashing in 1.5 has been mostly solved by a workaround found by Hellking, http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2507760&postcount=58 Can I ask if people are reducing their normal graphic settings when using the Rift or are they keeping them the same as if they were using the monitor. I know going in and changing all settings isn't that hard, but it would get rather annoying after a few times. Currently away on hols, so can't test this myself. Also what sort of frame rates are people seeing in 1.5, is it as much as an improvement as we are seeing when using a monitor.

frank7006 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Yes, I think you are full of it. Go ahead and post a live stream of you trying 100 times with it succeeding only twice. Ah yes, so you don't actually know what you're talking about then. Your irrelevant question has now been proven to be based on an assumption that you made and a really bad assumption considering lots of other people in here and other forums were talking about it failing "9/10" times or higher. It's probably different for different people based on their systems but in my case it was literally about a 2% success rate. Now, with the Vista compatibility fix that someone figured out, it's a success rate of about 80%.
hellking Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 All, there is a workaround to the crashing problem. See http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2507760&postcount=79
