RePhil Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 yes you need steam, it uses steamvr. Stand alone works fine but it needs to launch steamvr OK not sure I fully understand this. If I launch Steam VR then I can use direct purchased aircraft from DCS or, do the airframes need to be purchased from Steam to work with Steam VR :unsure: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Window 10, i9-9900,2080TI, 32GB ram Puma Pro Flight Trainer, 2 x 1TB WB SSD NVMe HP Reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just enables both Versions of DCS (Steam AND Standalone) to talk to your HMD. in a nutshell, just install Steam VR (no need to install anything else afaik) and then start your DCS Standalone as usual.

PiedDroit Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 yes you need steam, it uses steamvr. Stand alone works fine but it needs to launch steamvr Yep exactly. I'm DCS non-Steam user. What I did to make it run: - Configured the Windows Mixed Reality environment as instructed when plugging the headset. - From Steam, installed "Windows Mixed Reality for Steam" (had to search manually for it in the store) - When I play, I first start "Windows Mixed Reality for Steam" (which also starts the WMR envirnment), I wait for the headset to hook up and then I start DCS, works like a charm.

Retnavycpo Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I wear glasses. I tried VR with them on last night and was surprised by the difference. They fit well in the headset probably because they are rimless and extremely light weight (2.5 grams). They have a patented superwide progressive band and are also blue blocker. With them on I found that the sweet spot grew to cover about half the FOV and God days were considerably less. Maybe is the blue blocker feature or that the overall lens configuration is more like the OSVR lens that is supposed to be a superior lens. Does anyone else notice this when wearing glasses? Any chance you could provide more information on where you got your glasses to work with the Odyssey? I just ordered it, and need to get glasses that will fit as you have described. Thanks, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered it, and need to get glasses that will fit as you have described. Thanks, Pete What I did was use my lenses from VR Lens Lab (very cheap, made for the Rift, work great), and then bought a 25$ adapter which lets me use them in the Odyssey from Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oculus-Rift-Adapter-Frame-for-VR-Lens-Lab-Lenses/142391930424?hash=item2127386e38:m:mL9V0BHO6xAgkBgAcBgSkBw#shpCntId Systems Virpil T50x2,T50CM2x2,Warbrd x2, VFX/Delta/CM2/Alpha/Tm Hornet sticks, VKB GF3, Tm Warthog(many), Modded Cougar, VKB Pedals/MFG Pedals/Slaw Viper RX+109Cam Pedals/Virpil T50+T50CM Throttle/CH Fightersticks/CH Throttles/CH peds, Index x1, Reverb x1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
