Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

[j0nx]

If and when the knee board comes in for VR fliers, does it have the ability to access and show user-created pages if we want to use our own checklists/charts/notes, etc? I have always used VR with DCS and have no experience with the kneeboard. thank you :)

 

It should since the regular kneeboard in non-VR DCS does. As long as it shows the kneeboard then anything you add should show as well or at least it better or else it will be useless for me. :pilotfly:

Stupid question guys, how the hell do you track your rift order? The oculus website and support doesn't exactly spell it out that well. I tried the tracking ID on the UPS website and they say no tracking info available please verify your info and try again.

 

 

 

I downloaded and signed up to UPS choices. Once you register and put in your address. On the app you can go too ACESSS MY UPS CHOICES on the app it will tell you if your rift is shipping. I knew when my rift was due before oculus told me of tracking details. You don't need tracking number just your address. Give it a go.

Well 12 hours on the rift today playing different things. DCS is ok I used debug tool I kinda guess it made some difference. I will say does anyone really notice screen door effect in DCS it's still pretty bad. I mean it's fantastic in terms of 3d I never realised how big the aircraft and the world is in dcs it's stunning. It's not quite there yet I'm wondering if some mods could be applied too the cockpit too make it more readable and smoother textures. Bold writing on labels in cockpit would be good just too make things more readable. . Few things ED could do or whats the guy who did the cockpit mod with better textures made it look old. Maybe he could do something. I look at other games in oculus and they seem to be smoothed out and I think Dcs needs that tweaking to get the maximum out of the rift. I also think a little more colour to 1.5 would be good too. Just my thoughts apart from that amazing and this is now the future.

Derek, if you weren't already aware, this guy's program is great. I used it all the time before I switched to flying the f18 mod (the knee board is broke in it)

Best thing I have found to make quick custom kneeboards.

Yeah I used that program too Derek. There are a few kinks with it but it does convert the specific pages in the pdf you want and then you can copy them to the appropriate kneeboard folder for the aircrafts. Now if DCS would fix VR to support kneeboards...

Ok...wow...that one is detailed...thank you, gents...i'm assuming that i can just use the custom kneeboard then...hmm...i'm gonna need to fiddle with it. :joystick:

Most of the "kinks" I found were in the slightly confusing interface. It's not super intuitive, but once you get how he laid it out it's great.

 

j0nx, from what I understand from Wags... posts, or livestream, can't remember... The kneeboard is fixed in VR now. We just have to wait for that (what I assume will be a monster) update that includes all those VR fixes.

 

Of course all that is moot for me because I made the decision to fly an aircraft mod with a broken kneeboard no matter what ED does. ED any word on the F-18C module release date, or has that been asked by someone recently? *joke* :megalol:

I have been reviewing the available or .. soon to be available VR headsets. It appears Oculus Rift is best supported by flight sims.... It has a 100 degree fov by 100 degree fov with a frame rate of 90hz. I am upgrading to at least the 1070 or if I wait ... the 1080. I hope soon to upgrade my pots in my TM Cougar HOTAS as well. I checked out the World at ... something and the sim was nice......... I want to get back into DCS WWII sims...

What would be a good cpu for the Oculus to max its performance.??

Hopefully, the next one from Intel. ;)

I'm not a computer guru so I'm sure someone who knows -way- more than me will answer shortly, but I have a INTEL I7-4770K 3.5 GHZ no, overclocking and my Rift runs just fine with that and my 970. I don't know what my framerates are, never checked. With everything on low the game is super smooth and playable so that's all I've cared about. I'm not upgrading my CPU, but I do have a 1080 coming next month so I plan to bump up the in game settings then. I also run the pixel thing at 1.5.

[DerekSpeare]

6700 and 1080 if you're building something new. ED needs to hook up the simultaneous frame rendering to really exploit the benefits of the 1080.

 

@Sage - Matt Wagner said "I'm not going to talk about 'that'...or 'that'" when referring to the F/A18's in his latest livestream. He's put them in two of his videos, so I'd expect them to come "soon", FWIW.

[adrianstealth]

my 1080 coming tomorrow,

 

if DCS and a few other key sim titles utilise the VR alternate eye render I'll pickup a 2nd one too

 

no idea if this gpu feature will be implemented , not sure if its easy for devs or not?

[SageOT]

I know software is behind the hardware but I had the cash right now for a 1080 so figured, why not.

@Derek, I know, but it's been at least what? 15 minutes since someone asked? Got to keep on these guys :-) :-)

Thanks for the tip Corbett, unfortunately not available for NZ :( I suppose it will be here SOON.

[SageOT]

Has there been an update announced for the radio menus? I was just thinking back to all the other things shown/mentioned and couldn't remember seeing anything. That said anybody come up with a temporary fix? If I lean in and stare real hard I can just make them out, but that's not exactly optimal...

Wags said several days ago the menus are fixed on their internal build, but that change hasn't been pushed out in an update yet.
