kam Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Why no reply from ED yet? Hopefully it is to do with the current immaturity of the Rift, rather than Eagle not being interested. I do hope so anyway...

Foul Ole Ron Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 ED are a small company with limited resources. Before they pump some time into making DCS work correctly with the rift they'll want to see it being a commercial success first. I'm pretty sure they've got their hands full with the F-18C, FW190, Edge, etc. and until the rift takes off with a set that can properly display the world I think they're better off not devoting resources to developing support for it.

npole Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Implementing the rift, requires around 10 working hours from a single coder, you don't really have to "dump" anything. It gives to the game a major boost under how it is perceived outside of the hardcore simmers world (anything "touched" by the Rift is acquiring immediate interest from ppl that never heard about that such title before). And, finally, the dev kits have the purpose of offering the developers a device to test and implement this technology (nor that you have to wait t he 2014 when it will hits the mass; but the opposite: when the product goes retail you are already supporting it). To resume: there isn't a single downside to not implement the Rift today, nor a justification, that's why i'm asking the reason of why none (apparently) of the coders is looking into it. So i'm asking for the official reply from ED, rather that users speculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Npole, I agree and you have a strong argument! I keep hearing how ED wants to grow and build new customers with the water-down versions of DCS models (War thunder types), but all they have to do is integrate the rift...

average_pilot Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) I've downloaded the Oculus Rift SDK and tried to create a version of headtracker.dll that works with the Rift sensor. I don't have the Rift, so I can't test it. If you'd wish to try, place the attached headtracker.dll in bin\headtracker and launch a mission to see what happens. Also I attach the source so it can be further polished if it happens to work. For example, there is no drift correction for the yaw angle with the integrated magnetometer of the rift's sensor, which is awful for simulators (front view will drift over time). So, it's mandatory to add it. Also, a mix of rift's sensor data and freetrack data could be done to add translation and to have an absolute reference for yaw, making drift correction very easy. EDIT: Finally I have my Rift and could tune it up. It seems to be working fine now. EDIT2: I've modified the readme. The dll now goes on the 'bin' folderriftHT4DCS.zip Edited February 12, 2014 by average_pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

average_pilot Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) This may be of ED's interest (or not) Integrating the Oculus Rift into Unreal Engine 4 From the article: "Oculus integration is surprisingly simple for how cool the result is" "The Oculus SDK helps you to obtain all the measurements needed to calculate these [projection matrices], so in our Rift-specific stereoscopic view implementation, we simply read the configuration from the device, and return the calculated values" Edited June 12, 2013 by average_pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

npole Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've imagined DCS but with Outerra (whole world) scenery... I could sit there and fly for a week without sleeping or eating before passing out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonic Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) From official press release "The prototype’s 1080p display increases the number of visible pixels by more than 2x, greatly reducing the screen-door effect seen in the development kit." Greatly-reducing is not elliminating, I wouldn't hold my breath. But nevertheless I'm looking forward! :) They are not sure they will give 1080p for developers, but if they do I will be in the line. P.S. Image is better, but not that drastically different I've imagined DCS but with Outerra (whole world) scenery... I could sit there and fly for a week without sleeping or eating before passing out... With current devkit I doubt, you will be tired very soon, and would like to take it off much earlier Edited June 12, 2013 by Mnemonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

npole Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Everyone who tries one is absolutely blown away by the thing, even the hardest of skeptics. Not only this.. but any big (last one was Sony with the PS4) is looking at it.. in other words the device is already "marked" as a mass-sale piece of hardware before it even hits the stores. While on this forum we're still thinking if support it or not.. and we didn't received any official reply so far. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbosmeggins Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I understand that ED hasn't really made any Oculus plans yet. But does anyone know of any other flight sim companies that have made a pledge to support it? I just have to get my hands on one, but don't want to be stuck in a FPS for all eternity.
