DwoaC Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I have to say that DCS is one of the top experiences in the rift so far... I'm using the hydra to add 6dot and works perfect. Good job guys! Really, I have been a real pit guy for a long time, but the rift allows you to jump between different aircraft without spending thousands of dollars. This is the future! Couldn't agree with you more, DCS is great in the rift. I think the refresh rate could be better, I have to turn everything to min and I still think its too low. Can you give me a blow by blow on setting up the hydra? I've tried it and it crashed DCS, would really like to try this after going to all the hassle of setting up the hydra on my rift.

bongodriver Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The hardest part now will be for us to learn to fly these complex aircraft without being able to see the keyboard. No, the hard part is trying to convince people that keyboards are useless compared to a well implemented clickable pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frusheen Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Oculus releases new Rift 0.3.1 SDK Bye Phant I tried it hoping it may have been the NDA governed version used by ED and that it might fix the black borders on the current implementation. I didn't notice any difference though. My image is still too small. Nice to see oculus adding more refinement. Screen to lens measurement and users eye to neck distance (pivot point) are now included. __________________________________________________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...
KaspeR32 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Does the latest RC2 update for 1.2.8 beta still need the visualizer.dll from this thread or has that been added now?

Cowboy10uk Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This looks sooooo good, I am finding it hard to resist the DK2. Come on CV1 show yourself............. :) you can pop 40 mins down the road and try my DK2 out when she turns up Loz, if you want. Think that should be enough to break your willpower. ;) Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone please confirm if they've got the rift working with an AMD card? It's the only other thing I can think of that would be causing the black screen. I updated my oculus sdk to the newest version and didnt need the new dll anymore I'm not sure I understand what you mean.. There is nothing "updated" when you get the new SDK is there? I downloaded it and it just unzips where ever I unzip it. Nothing installs or updates. The only thing that can be "updated" is the Firmware on the Rift, which there is no new version with the new SDK.

There are some changes,I just kinda skimmed over the details of it tho.There was no install as you said,but I did delete 0.2.5c afterwards just in case.You had to use a modified dll to make the rift work properly with DCS and sdk 0.2.5c.With sdk 0.3.1 you dont need to get any additional files because ED used 0.3.1 to make DCS Oculus ready..I dont know if this will help with a black screen problem tho.

Cowboy10uk Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hi guys, I've ordered a DK2 which hopefully will be here in July. I was wondering if anyone with a DK1 has tried using it together with Thrustmaster MFDs. I was thinking if I mounted the MFDs in the position they appear in the OR visuals, they would be easy to use and interact with the A10 MFDs. While I appreciate that most of the time It will be easier to use the mouse and pointer to interact with the majority of the cockpit. I think it could add a lot to the immersion, if I could just reach out and press the buttons on the MFDs.

hannibal Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 can someone comment on the current state of audio when using the rift? everyone is saying it looks good, but how does it sound in conjunction of moving your head? is there a '3d-ness' to the sound? note, please comment if u are using the rift. find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound was already 3D long time ago, even if you use a mouse to look around - sound properly reproduced in the headphones, like sound of the engines - properly positioned. It's pretty surprising to see this question, people use 6DOF tracking with TrackIR in DCS for ages. Edited April 20, 2014 by Mnemonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy10uk I would say it would be a cold day in hell before you could reliably lean forward and press the correct buttons just going by the view in the rift. I think us rifters will be stuck with the mouse until some complimentary technology is released to help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksolo Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah I would think you would need multiple cameras and markers on the mfd's to pull that off.We will get there eventually,but not now,I'm thinking 5 years on something like that being affordable.

It's the only other thing I can think of that would be causing the black screen. Can't confirm but can give negative acknowledgement that Radeon 7770 gives black screen in cockpit. This is with 1280x720, 1 Monitor, Oculus detect. If I configure Stereo, No Oculus, it does show stereo undistorted cockpit. But convergence is way off. This is with the 4/8 dll.

G00dnight Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 My 7970 works fine with OR, I do have an issue with 3d where the cockpit is great but the runway on finals is splitting into a v shape, looks like a convergence issue to me probably needs some more tweaking.

SkateZilla Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 it'd be nice if Oculus had a Setup Program that allows a user to configure all that stuff globally. (ie run Oculus Setup, and go through a series of images and calibrate the display for your eyes, and if possible save individual profiles for different users). Then when you boot a game, like DCS, it will load those settings for your eyes from the Oculus Rift Software. and if you need to fine tune, OR should have a Software Hotkey to adjust things on the fly. Dunno how much the software has changed since the first wave of DK1's... Might have to give it a look and submit some ideas to the OR Dev team. Hopefully if not already present something similar is integrated for the Consumer Version.
