andrewcoja Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 You are most likely too much zoomed out. Is there a way to zoom with the rift? I've tried setting zoom keys but they don't seem to do anything with the rift. Hey guys. I'm absolutely new and google isn't helping me. I have DCS world running with the oculus rift, but I put my tracking camera quite high up on the wall behind my screen to get better coverage. As a result DCS puts my head in the base of the seat. I can't figure out what key is used to re-center the head tracking. Any ideas? Go into the oculus config window and open the demo scene. Within the demo scene, click "recenter." This resets the default center for anything that uses it (which DCS does). This way you'll always be in the right place when you start up DCS.
SkateZilla Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 While they do have a point, I'm not sure it's a good one (especially in the long term). I think it's the equivalent of the following: "I bought a $50 Bluray player; it's an outrage that I'll have to spend far more than that for a TV to watch them on!" Maybe if they wrote good articles then they'd be able to afford VR :lol: My first BR player was 299, and useless when the standard and DRM was updated 18 months later.

hansangb Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I think partially it's the "credit card bill isn't high because I'm only paying the minimum even though it'll take me 25 years to pay it off" mentality. The initial upfront cost is something a lot of people in the US are not used to - especially with carriers spreading the cost over two years. But then again, Palmer kind of did it to himself with his comments about keeping the price point low. Two more months before my Rift arrives, can't wait!! hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
Chivas Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Its all very simple, Palmer first announced the 200 to 400 price tag with mostly smartphone parts, before the Facebook acquisition. Facebook resources allowed Oculus to custom make most of the parts with much better VR qualities. During that process, they couldn't possibly know for sure what the final cost would be, other than saying at one point before the preorder announcement that it would be over 399 dollars. That said they could have made a better guess sooner, but there were other factors in play, waiting for more info on the Vive price, which was supposed to come first, and quite possibly significant fights in the board room, whether or not to sell their hardware near cost. There are so many factors that we can only speculate, but I'm fairly sure looking at the final product, that I will be receiving a Rift near cost, and very happy it isn't made from stock smartphone parts.

dot Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I'm glad it's costs $600. I want my VR headset to be optimum. To see online whining about the price actually makes me happy because I know I won't have to share this new VR world with them. Imagine if we were getting a cheaper low-quality headset to satisfy the noisy children. Pity it's not $1199 then
andrewcoja Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Or just press the #5 key on your numpad on the keyboard in-game.. :) Does that remember your position when you exit the game and start it back up? If you center the headset in the config window, it's always centered in game.
DerekSpeare Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Does that remember your position when you exit the game and start it back up? If you center the headset in the config window, it's always centered in game. No - you have to manually adjust your eyepoint position. There's a guide around here somewhere, and I asked this specific question some time ago, to which I received a meaningful reply linking the guide - my reply isn't as helpful. However, I do remember (FTMP) how to do it. First you hit R-Shift and R-CTRL PLUS your KP Arrow keys, 2,4,6,8 to go down, left, right, up, respectively. RSHFT+RCTRL+ KP (-) and KP (*) move you out and in IIRC. THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY, you MUST hit RALT+ KP (0) to get it to save your eyepoint position. Sometimes you have to go out and then come back into the cockpit to activate it...at least I have experienced this on occasion. It also remembers your eyepoint by plane when you save it correctly.

pringliano Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Hi, I reinstalled DCS World after some years, and I am still adjusting things to my liking. But if I remember well, I saved the angle and position of the eye in a settings file. You don't need to do that process every time Cheers, MGS

People spend more on phones. I paid full retail for a Phone ONCE, in like 2008, $ 349 for a Motorola KRZR, Simply because The phone I received free w/ 2 yr contract was garbage, and I couldnt deal with it no more. outside of that, every phone Ive bought was with a 2 yr contract discounted to less than $30 from like 399+. I have like 3 android phones now because one provider pulled out of our area and released everyone from their contracts, I had literally just signed 2 yrs and paid 20 for a 600 HTC phone.. however since its CDMA and everyone else in this area uses SimCards and this one doesnt, its been demoted to Desktop alarm Clock and Gaming app status. My Current phone has a fantastic screen. and I bought a $10 VR headset to use with it on ebay, I can play the #360 videos on facebook and look around realistically. Im still waiting for an App thay allows the phone to be used as USB Monitor, because the streaming apps dont have the resolution or latency to play DCS. DK2s dropped to about 275 on ebay, then spiked back to 4, and some ppl still dumb enough to list the DK2s at 700+. Since I have an enclosure and they are 10 or so online, I might get a Dual MiPI board and 2x1440p Screens for 300 or so and mount them and find away to use a different tracking system.

How does the M2000c perform compared to the Mig 21? R/ Daniel It's smooth on my machine except in areas where there are a lot of buildings. I keep the graphics low, however, so to keep the FPS high. I don't have the Mig21 so I can't compare directly. ...and I had a thought recently (just a pondering) that I have been chasing frame rates since the 80's...it's like there's just never enough hardware power to run everything to the max with high frame rates :joystick: Will the new 10 core i7-6960X CPU do it?

Burnerski Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 1000 cores won't make a difference with DCS. Interestingly the Milviz F4 in p3dv2.5 with flyinside is taking advantage of all four cores, or at least thats what MSI afterburner shows. I wonder if more cores would work better with that awesome sim? R/ Daniel

Burnerski Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) The Milviz t38 just wrecks frame rates in FSX with FlyInside for me. Try p3dv2.5 it offloads a lot to the graphics card the 38 runs great, I think its called tesselation or something like that. Its a fantastic Oculus experience as is DCS. R/ Daniel Edited January 27, 2016 by Burnerski
Burnerski Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 With DCS I have tried upping the cockpit resolution but I don't notice much if any difference. But flyinside with P3dv2.5 has a "ultra setting" and noticeably improves the gauges. I get about 85fps in the Milviz 38 and 75 in the F4, very smooth. The only one so far that I have tried with DCS 2.0 that won't run smooth with Oculus over unpopulated areas is the Mig21. I think I'll buy the M2000 and check it out. R/ Daniel
