DD_Arthur Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I've been looking on evilbay too and I'm increasingly coming round to getting a Rift S over a Reverb. The large price difference does matter and I really like the no fuss simplicity of the Occulus set up and being able to run it with Open Composite against the Reverb which would mean running both Steam VR and Windows Mixed Reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted February 11, 2021 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted February 11, 2021 @Arthur - have you looked at the Oculus Quest 2 - now the link cable is sorted for £299 making it run at 90hz it looks really good (well I think so anyway) I have actually sold my original rift to put the funds towards the Quest. FaceBook will be discontinuing the Rift S in favour of the Quest being their main platform for VR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I use Open composite or steam VR??? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Due to the amount of data transferred to the headset, it is advised to use the cable. Some of the cheap cables dont give full performance There are several Quest 2 threads on here https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/community/virtual-reality.168/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hey chaps, so I've finally joined the VR club by way of Crash's Rift CV1. First impressions have been great on just a rough and ready set-up flying GBS on I think fairly high 'HIGH' setting, using SteamVR. It obviously needs tweaking to fine tune it and smoothen the running and wondered what settings you would recommend for my set up based on your experiences? Ryzen 7 5800x 32GB Ram EVGA GTX 1080 8GB (i think) Rift CV1 My tiny mind was also blown at this talk of OpenComposite etc, so any further guidance on that would be most appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 I used open composite but there can be issues with sound. Are the lens inserts of any use? It does help with clarity if you are able to use distance prescription lens. look here for some good info https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/forum/109-virtual-reality-and-vr-controllers/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thanks Crasharooney. The lenses don't fit my prescription, so I'll look into others that do. No room for my spectacles in there as I expected. I'll only be using one audio source at a time, either occulus headset or my other headset online and speakers if offline. Fen said there were issues if using speakers for game sound and headset for comms for instance? Hopefully shouldn't affect me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted July 20, 2021 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hi @BluBear I used to use some prescription lens' for my Rift. They came from Germany and cost about £50. I sent them my prescription for each eye and they supplied the lens' that clipped over the rift lens. Best thing I did as I too have to wear glasses for distance. This is who I used. https://vr-lens-lab.com/ Cheers Friar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 This VoiceAttack mentioned, is it better than using VAC? I've had it for years in 1946 for working and moving to other gun positions in a bomber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 I havnt used VAC but VoiceAttack works great and if you do DCS you can buy ViaCom and talk to air traffic tankers etc. It is also still being developed and has a helpful forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Thanks I'll look into it, here is VAC http://www.dwvac.com/ , and I can't find my registration info, so if I have to pay again I'll try Voice Attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 You can use VA with limited actions for free. I think it cast $10 for full version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I paid for VAC a decade ago, so VA is even cheaper if you figure in inflation lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
