Hi Everyone,

 

I’m sure all of you are aware of the new Oculus Quest will be out soon(I hope) and was wondering how good do you think it will work with DCS? I am currrently not a VR user but would like to get into it. Would like to hear your thoughts on this new Oculus product.

 

Thank you

If you want Peace, be prepared to fight for it ! :pilotfly:

Not so soon .. at least six more months, it should go on sale on Spring 2019.

 

 

It won't work with DCS World, nor with any of the current PC-based VR Games, like Eurotruck Simulator 2 or Asetto Corsa ... as it doesnt make use of a PC, instead it includes a cheap processor, similar to those used on smartphones, so it wont really be ideal for high performance games .. sems to be more oriented to social gaming and augmented reality games.

Be aware that it “might” be possible to get it to run with an application called ALVR.

Being fair though, as the quest costs the same as a Rift, not sure why you’d introduce the issues of relying on a WiFi signal for video transmission.

System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse.

Server: i5 2500@3.9Ghz, 1080, 24GB DDR3, SSD.

For room sized VR experiences being wireless will be a huge benefit. For DCS however, not so much, and as it is bound to introduce connection issues, it might not be a god send.

 

I'm surprised you missed that!
