Oculus Rift S With DCS World Discussion

Hi, I've just bought a Rift S and starting playing DCS in VR, but I'm not keen on having to reach for the Rift hand controllers to operate the cockpit switches. How do I map the controls so that I use the on screen cross that mirrors where I'm looking and then map a button on my Hotas to act as the mouse click to operate whatever switch I'm looking at? Thanks.

I know I can go in to settings to define my own controls, but which specific section am I looking for? Is it somewhere in the general tab, the axis controls tab, etc? Do I need to have the Oculus controls disabled in the VR section, or something set in a specific way in the VR section? I'm looking for specifically where do I need to go and what do I need to assign in the control options to do this?

Thanks.

The settings you want are kind of hidden.

In the controller menu, scroll down where the module listing is - where you would normally select the module you want to assign settings to.

Down toward the bottom is the UI Layer - select it.

There you can map mouse functions to your HOTAS buttons, as well as two levels of zoom and VR Re-center.

Note these UI settings are global and not module specific.

Some users strap a trackball to their leg for the vr mouse.

Or, if you have extra cash available, point CTRL from the input forum is awesome for vr

dburne and A2597, sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Thanks very much.

I am still looking for an option the center the mouse-pointer.

Otherwise when I am using the mouse when operating the map or some other mouse task, I will forget to center it for use with my headset and have to search my mouse again.

Since the last Oculus software/firmware update (beta) i have to restart the Oculus software after every shutdown of the PC (only booting without shutdown causes no issues) to get the headset detected. Both USB always show as Rift-S. Simply clicking the red connection button for the headset and then select restart (in that second screen the connection button is already green) software. Sometimes a second software restart is needed.

Since the update to 13.xx this issue seems solved. Every time i start the Oculus software, the devices are present now. No need to restart anymore.

Ok this is a first for me. Randomly but more often than not when i get in a plane at the top it says Main on the left and Static 1 on the right in text. Never seen this before and doesnt happen all the time when entering the aircraft but it stays there. Anyone else?

I just updated to the current release version today, after having not fired up DCS in several months. I am using a Rift S. Unless I press Alt+Ent for full-screen mode, the mirror cuts off the bottom 1/3 on my 2D display. In VR, the mouse will not reach below that point, so the bottom third is inaccessible (i.e., cannot click on OK, Quit, etc.).

Any ideas how to fix this?

You’ve already found the only fix I know of

Is your monitor set to it's native resolution?

It is. I have single dislplay set in DCS settings, but resolution there is set lower but I don't think that has any effect. I think in the past I wondered if that might affect the mirror's resolution, set it, never touched it again. I do have 4 displays connected and running, but that also has never been an issue in DCS as far as displaying on single screen, mirror, or in the HMD.

You can try the resolution 1280x1440.

I noticed yesterday that the Oculus HUDs to monitor the performances don’t display anymore in DCS. They are there but behind the screen so invisible. On the main menu, it’s possible to see it by looking 80 degree up.

Do you have the same issue ?

(running DCS open beta and oculus beta drivers)

Yeah...think there’s another thread somewhere about it. One poster says they solved it by turning off windows game mode. I already have game mode turned off and still same issue as you.

Hope it gets resolved or if someone can recommend some other performance monitor that we can use.

Does the steam vr one work in rift s?? I believe not.

Thank for the thread, missed it.

Misconception about Dash and HUDs in the thread but it answer the question about the HUD issue. Will be fixed in future update of DCS or Oculus drivers.

Concerning Dash, it can’t be displayed in DCS as Don said.

Roger that. Thanks...lol.

Just installed a Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X mainboard and some more new hardware today.

When I first plugged in the Rift S into the USB3 port everything was fine. When I restart the computer now Windows is showing me "unknown device (port reset failed)" in the device manager though and I have to unplug and plug it in again to use it.

Did anyone else encounter this behavior before? I spend hours on Google trying to find a solution, tried to change Windows power settings, made sure that the Rift cable was plugged in on both sides, tried all USB3 ports, and reinstalled my drivers but had no luck so far.

Any help is much appreciated .

If you have tried all ports and still have that same thing happen each time I would open a support ticket with Oculus. It certainly should not be doing that.

I will say the Rift S is very finicky and greedy on USB 3 Ports, best if you can plug it into a port that is not sharing the hub with another device.

Also insure your USB drivers are up to date, which being a new board I would think they should be. Might also try removing the port in device manager and rebooting to see what happens.

Also if you happen to have a 2080 GPU you could try plugging the Rift S USB into the USB C-Port on the GPU, but you would need an adapter for that. I am running my Rift S USB through that port and it is solid as a rock.

Thanks for your answer dburne. Sadly I already tried your suggestions and only have a 2070 Super without USB C. I just ordered a powered USB-3 hub. Hopefully this will fix the problem, at least I won't have to climb behind the computer to plug/unplug the Rift S.

Anyway, if someone encountered this before please let me know how you handled it.

I went through this buying a powered hub. For some reason my rift S still comes up as disconnected but if I load to windows, then do a power reset through windows it seems to wake it up. It’s a bit annoying but much less so than climbing behind the computer every time.

Some sort of startup “feature” in the bios probably not powering up properly the first time it starts- that’s my guess. The other thing I’ve heard is that it might be related to having an AMD gpu

Interesting ricktoberfest. By the way, I already used the same mainboard type a few months ago and didn't have this problem back then.
