I was thinking more on the f9-f12 hud items, like tyre temps. Wouldn't it work to have them displayed in the cockpit?

What would be great is to have the hud elements as part of your car dashboard....

Are you able to render to a bigger output to help with the resolution? I know some games have a slider - like 1-4 times render target.

Cheers Dave, will try that. I have a gtx980 so should be able to max everything.

i was surprised the DSR didn't seem to help at all

Any tips on getting better image quality Scawen on the Vive? I see alot of aliasing in the distance, like a shimmmering effect. I tried settings dsr to maximum, didn't seem to make a difference.

What about clamp/allow options? Any tips?

I bought both and sold my rift after 2 days! The vive is so much more than the rift can ever be, no contest.

Oculus Runtime Switcher (0.5/0.6/0.7/0.8/1.3) with GUI

Well done guys!

Dave, do you really think we are anywhere near even close to the trigger in VR? I'd say we have a way to go.

My opinion is this is the start, beginning this year. The advances will be huge and having experiences, gaming, movies on a 2d screen will seem completely boring in a few years.

I really think anyone who thinks we are at the stage of disillusionment is seriously not thinking of where we will be in 5 to 10 years time with this tech.

Also this here - https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/3zwhu0/order_number_to_shipping_date/

I ordered at 5:07 but had no confirmation but should be in the first batch.

I will wait to see if the vive is better and how much it is, and if I get it will sell my rift for probably a profit as it will be in short supply.

I will also sell my DK2 soon as it has gone up in price when people saw how much the CV1 rift is

What he said ^^^

Cheers and happy holidays Scavier!

Windows 10 Compatibility with the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 - PLEASE READ (UPDATED)

NicoleAugust 27, 2015 23:45

Preliminary support for Windows 10 has been included with the Oculus 0.7 SDK/Runtime, which requires Direct Driver Mode. If you are using Windows 10, please make sure to get the recommended drivers.

It is important to note that the Oculus 0.7 SDK/Runtime is the only version that is compatible with Windows 10, and if you wish to continue running content compiled in earlier versions of the SDK, you should NOTupgrade to Windows 10 at this time.

https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/pc/0.7.0.0-beta/Oculus_Runtime_for_Windows/

Haven't tested it yet but for those with windows 10 and the rift it could now work natively?

Oculus PC SDK 0.7.0.0 Beta

The most significant change is the addition of the Direct Driver Mode and the removal of Extended Mode.

Direct Driver Mode uses features of NVIDIA Gameworks VR or AMD LiquidVR to render directly to the HMD. If the installed GPU does not support NVIDIA Gameworks VR or AMD LiquidVR, it uses Oculus Direct Mode.

The removal of the legacy Extended Mode means that users can no longer manage the Oculus Rift as an extended monitor, which will affect some games. Additionally, Standalone Mode (which uses the Oculus Rift as the only display device) is no longer supported.

Apparently it needs the latest driver - https://developer.nvidia.com/oculus-07-sdk-driver-support

I think he will be good IMHO

Plus we hopefully still get the 3 doing another show, win win

EDIT : Scawen already posted

Might be worth looking at this Scawen. DX9 game working on new sdk, with better performance

One thing that really caught my attention is the fact that the mirror mode shows a undistorted image on my main screen. That is really nice! Is it something native in 0.6 or did you have to code it yourself?


That is mostly a side effect of how I got the game to work. As 0.6 does not support DX9Ex anymore, the game now creates additional DX11 device which shares texture with the main DX9 one and uses it to copy output from the shared texture generated by DX9 to the shared DX11 texture used to pass the information to the SDK compositor for distortion. In 0.6 the SDK provides additional texture with the distorted content for possible display in the game window however to draw it, I would have to copy it back to DX9 which would create additional overhead so I am simply drawing the original undistorted images instead.

Eh, no one in that thread says that?...

Quote from cargame.nl :

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

not to make people "faster".

Okay lets do the opposite statement then.. What if it actually makes you slower? Which I think it does. There is of course a learning curve but are people going to spend hundreds of hours in this sealed off from the outside world helmet to achieve the same results you get without such a device? Driving in a car on a track which nobody can relate to? Yes, I am sceptical about that. Not strongly negatively biased or what else. Just that it deserves not that much resources.

But hopefully this official Rift release is not more then a year away, then it will finally tell if its all worth it.

What if Scawen implements full head tracking and nimble hand tracking of the avatars, before any other sim? How freaking cool would that be?

I am pretty sure that hand tracking will be in CV1, so imagine going past someone who tried to take you out and he can see you looking at him whilst you flip the bird? Pretty awesome I would say

Imagine when you lift your hand off the wheel to change gear, you see that shit.... Crossing the finish line in full hands raised mode :P Imagine making a mistake and showing a raised hand to say sorry, this is the future. I hope Scawen does this stuff absolutely!

That is a pretty simple thing for Scawen to implement and would provide a level of realism and presence that would blow my mind..

P.S.

If we get full body tracking for the rift, I will have to pull a full on mooney when overtaking someone for the win

I wrote a little review here - http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/2jyeos/dk2_sim_racing_ready/

But basically, it makes it better and was definitely the right thing for Scawen to do for the little amount of time taken, plus the added bonus of motivation and inspiration to do graphic updates.

ATM it does make me personally slower due to the far distance resolution issue which won't be a problem for CV1.

It seems to me people are now complaining after years of Scawen working on physics updates which we have yet to see a single benefit from, that he is now releasing pretty frequent updates which the community asked for, and they are still complaining.

The tyre updates are what I am waiting for the most, and even for those that are not, when they are done then SCAVIER can go full content release mode.

A rock and a hard place comes to mind.....

@ Dave, no offence mate but some of your posts do come across as trolling. I know you well enough to understand that you are just trying to help, but it sometimes comes across the opposite.

Quote from just2fast :

The Rift will revolutionize the sim genre! I am sure. It just has to come out with slightly improved specifications. Higher res, a bit lighter.
But for me the Devkit it´s already good enough to play lfs.

The issue here is a hell of alot of sim racers are quick and play to win, especially in LFS. It is a sim afterall and not a arcade racer. For this reason, I imagine that until the far distance issue is fixed (hopefully CV1) then for the moment it can be argued to be not worth it of Scawen's time.

This would be a short-sited view IMO, and Scawen should be commended for having the foresite to implement it now.

Great work, can't wait to try it out.

Thanks for the update Scawen, I just hope you can get updates/content out in the very near future at a decent pace.

It is indicative of the big delays in LFS that Leagues are no longer viable and public racing has never been so low, so I hope you will think about this and prioritise in the right way.

I absolutely believe that long term, the tyre physics are the #1 thing that will make LFS a fantastic sim, but it really has got to a point with the delays that you are in real danger of losing 10 years of community moving onto other sims...

Just started playing this again, can anyone recommend some sites for setups please?

Quote from The Very End :

Jason, want me / us to pick up some stuff to drink on the way to your place or will you have everything sorted out? If thats the case let me at least pay for some of it or I'll feel like a freeloather

Sure Tor, grab some beer and maybe a few snacks. I'll have some beer & snacks here, but I'm guessing it won't last too long :P

Bruce, I can't offer you more than a free weekend of drinking, geek chats, occulus rifts, lfs, BBQ's, poker, pool, darts, junk food, a place to stay and good company...



I would say though to everyone else in the community, you are more than welcome to come join us for a weekend, or even a day if you want (Saturday), for some drinks etc.

It is free, you get free accommodation and all the things mentioned above.

I only ask you let me know beforehand
