Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion

[KLR Rico]

^ I haven't seen anything, and the only thing I found on google was people saying their glasses scratched the lenses. Is there more info? That'd suck to scratch them up. :/

[SkateZilla]

the scratches Im talking about are on the inside of the lens.

Anyone else here check their shipping status online for the Rift CV1 and find out that they are going to be a month and a half late on shipping? I ordered the Rift on release day (Jan 6th) and it said April 7th as delivery and now it says 5/9 - 5/19. I'm pissed. I haven't heard that much backlash over this so I'm wondering if I am in a small subset of orders that are this far delayed. Let me know.

 

I've preordererd mine 7 minutes after preorders went live and I got estimate delivery date May 2 to May 12th...

 

I'm looking at kiskstarter bunch who got their devkits for free :mad:

Be good for an insert if that's gonna stop scratching on the lens

Yep Gone from beginning og May to 6/20/2016 - 6/30/2016

I will check the Ebay prices before I unpack it if/when finaly gets here, quite like my DK2 still.

General and Support section of Oculus Forums, theres plentynof users with pics posted

 

Alot of users with scratches on the inside of the lens, meaning it was scratched during assembly.

I am not sure what one has to do with the other, but my dev kit (a DK1) was not free. It was actually $300.

 

Now I will eventually get a free CV1 but that is a separate issue and my likely ship date is looking like sometime around Halloween based on my order number.

[DerekSpeare]

As much as I don't like waiting an additional month for my CV1, it's prudent to look for the silver lining. As with any manufacturing effort, it's normally good to be farther down the line of completed parts if for anything that they can be better than the first few to roll off.

 

Perhaps the extra time may mean a difference in the overall quality.

 

@SZ - yes, my list included only those ideas which have not been addressed by ED at the present time. Those are, in my opinion, some important areas to see improvement in an effort to enhance the VR user's experience with DCS.

 

NB - Someone wanted to know about the amps/shakers I ordered. Here are the links:

I'm running those off of an Asus Xonar soundcard and will be using Simshaker utility to drive it. I have a custom seat platform going into the CNC this week to use to mount the shakers under the seat and to the chassis. I'll report more on this experiment as I have facts to share.

QFT

[vracan]

My theater map does not work properly in VR!

Icon/poi placement come up but no actual map!?

 

Am I doing somehing wrong?

[KLR Rico]

Known bug

[Johnny Dioxin]

Plenty of people on Reddit getting their Rift a month before estimate.

 

This the Europe section:

Kickstarter backers (I think it had a time deadline) got them free of charge.

[Swoodle]

My estimate was June 30. Honestly I don't mind waiting as it gives me more time to build PC/Pit as well as giving the game companies time to do the required work to their games to ensure good VR experiences.

 

On a slight Oculus topic, Memory for the new PC (will be running mainly DCS with Rift) just buy as much DDR4 quad channel as I can fit in? Minimum 32gig?

I think that this would be an awesome time to bring out a 2560x1440RGB 75 or hopefully 90 hz screen for DK2.

 

This has happened for DK1 previously:

If you backed the kickstarter, you spent money. I don't recall anyone getting one for free.

Found this on oculus forum :D

It's been on Steam for Pre-order for a couple of weeks now.

[KLR Rico]

Well, I've been using it for a week, so there. :prop:

 

:D

 

It's pretty cool. Despite the marginal resolution, having your desktop presented as an IMAX theater is interesting. I bought it soon as I saw it had an option to run milkdrop as the background.

 

I've played around with it, but I don't use it regularly.

[Johnny Dioxin]

well your real visioin is also focused in a narrow space... And the focus is not so bad that you cant glanse at the gauges, its only in the corners its a problem, and thats where the ingame text is...

 

This is how it is all the time for me now - since I got varifocal glasses to replace my old far/reading separate sets!

 

I had to give up my triple-screen set-up because of it.

 

So if that's all the issue is, I don't think I will even notice it, cos it's nothing new!

 

So good news :)

Special request to ED Forum Moderators:

 

A subforum in the Input/Output names "Virtual Reality" would be prudent in my opinion. The Oculus and Vive threads should be moved there. A VR subforum would allow other VR specific topics to be made which would make it easier to have beneficial discussions and keep topics much more organized. This thread alone has 682 pages now with much discussion, some of it more suited to other threads within a VR topic group.

 

Anyhow, I'd like to see this!
