joep747 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Just picked up the Oculus Rift and after setup I tried running DCS, but the headset doesn't display the game. Is there any software or anything I need to run in parallel to DCS? I've searched the the forums but cant find much about the setup process. Thanks for your help.

Schmidtfire Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 You must enable VR in-game (in DCS options/settings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Also, Is there any software or anything I need to run in parallel to DCS? Yes: the Oculus software needs to be running, but that auto-starts as soon as you put on the headset, since there is a sensor at forehead level that picks up when the headset is in use :-) Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS "HIGH" preset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomBudgie Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think you also need to switch on "Allow Unknown Sources" in Oculus Home > Settings > General.

You can see this by setting Oculus Home exe file to " Run as Administrator", then it won't automatically launch when putting headset on. You can then launch DCS without Oculus Home running, and it will still launch in VR ( long as VR is checked in DCS settings menu).
