Just arrived last night.

Haven't tried it yet, kids were in meltdown mode last night :p

I hear DCS is great with it, and I'm hoping WarThunder has DK2 support smile

Expect much fanboyism over the next week.

Free Flight and Aircraft with no HUDs are the best use until the screen gets a higher DPI.

Oculus could easily be the "next big thing" in game visuals. A recent video by the development team made it seem like they are on the right path.

I'll be interested to read how well the latest version works.

Looks my laptop decided to stop booting last night :p

Works ok with safe mode, but no dice otherwise. Just doing a re-install...

I'm going to try DCS world, along with whatever demos are out for the DK2. Warthunder was superb on the DK1.

Hi Duchess

War thunder just added Dk2 support a matter hours ago, it works but there is not positional tracking.

I did a vid here about my experience in it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tY-zz-3400



infinty drive in is good, Ive just spent 2 hours collecting every thing i can find for the dk2, popping out to get some food then its serious VR time,

War thunder is amazing

Had to build a new rig :p

Super budget build, but I picked up an AMD 8320, Crossfire V FZ board and Radeon 7970 for just under $400 no tax smile

So far I've played Elite:Dangerous on it and it is SUPERB!Absolutely stunning. And I played games on my DK1 for a long time, so I'm fairly used to VR by now.

I haven't got Warthunder fired up yet on the DK2, hopefully they've fixed the head tracking issue by now! I tried DCS world too, but all I get is a black screen when the mission starts, oculus or no.

In short, any flight sim enthusiast should be SUPER thrilled for the eventual retail release of this product. Just such a game changer.

you can get 7900 series gpu's sub $200.

DCS + AMD = Black screen on Oculus VR at the moment.

I tried with the HMD off too, but maybe it was detected via USB and cacked it. I'll just wait for an update. Elite will keep me busy enough wink

it's something to do with commands not recognized by AMD, someone mentioned a fix on ED Boards and they never posted a link when asked by a DEV AFAIK.

Does this go for all AMD GPUs? (I have an R290 and my DK2 arrived at my work address according to the tracking so I'll be giving it a run-out next week)

Assetto Corsa is first on the list though and I'm also hearing that Euro Truck Simulator 2 is quite immersive.

Skate will know for sure, but I think all AMD so far.

I too have a R9 290 turning up next week, and *really really* want DCS to work on the DK2. The .4 SDK will be in ED's hands, so I just plan to gorge on Elite Dangerous in the interim..

AFAIK it's Everything AMD, I however dont have anymore info than that.

May or May not be related to AMD + DX9C Drivers.

HOTAS, assignement of keys to Warthog, other option is voice attack which is some app that maps your voice to commands, like set speed to 25% by you just saying 25percent speed into your mic.


its hugely impressive by the way, like a whole other area of computing, its really amazing to the say the least. Highly recommend.

I'll be testing the DK2 with DCS in the next couple of days.

I believe everything is working now with AMD cards according to the forums.....not sure if this is related to the 0.4.1 SDK and the 2.11 Firmware upgrade for the Rift or the workarounds such as forcing DX11 drivers and disabling the OVR service that used to cause some problems.

I know that Edge will incorporate DX11 over the current DX9 implementation.....but have you any idea what was previously allowing Nvidia users to run DCS when Radeons were getting the black screen? Its obviously something in the Oculus driver rather than the DCS engine code?

Combination of AMD+DX9 AFAIK.

Canada, eh!
Just got shipping notice for my DK2. I won't get it tomorrow, but should have it early next week. Waiting is going to be tough?

What are the must have demos to wow people with?
