Upon reaching the aircraft cockpit, it’s immediately apparent that graphics performance has increased (judder is now non-existent, so long as I don’t ramp up the graphic detail too much on my GTX 970). With the improvements for the Rift, initially made available late last year in a beta release, the main menu now displays correctly in VR (along with all of the other menus and sections). See Also: The ‘Birdly’ Experience: Earning My Wings in Virtual Reality The developers say VR support for the game is “still very much work-in-progress,” but have taken a first stab at making menus fully functional in VR. Imagine my surprise when a few months later (having decided to give it another try), I discover that as of DCS World 1.5, Eagle Dynamics have updated to be compatible with the latest Oculus 0.8 runtime. And yet getting here was frustrating due to the difficulty of navigating menus that weren’t functional in VR. Peering out through the glass canopy, seeing the enormous outstretched wings of my jet… the sheer scale of the landscape, and the feeling of speed at low level. This was a beautiful sight to behold: sitting in a life-size 3D cockpit and being able to look around at all the instruments no longer sitting in front of a two-dimensional compressed representation of the 3D world, but actually being there.Īrcade Flight Sim 'Ultrawings 2' Promises 40–60 Hours of Gameplay, Launching Early 2022 With some degree of luck I would eventually arrive in the cockpit with the flight briefing menu floating in front of me. Sadly, at the time it turned out to be a very frustrating experience due to the fact that it was using an older Oculu runtime that didn’t support ‘direct mode’, a feature which makes configuring the game to play with the Rift much easier.Īt the time the game only worked in ‘extended mode’, and the main menu didn’t actually work properly inside the headset I’d have to close one eye and drag the window around, then use the other eye to navigate menu options. My number one genre, however, is flight simulation, so DCS World was high on my list of things to try. In the relatively short time since I’ve owned my Oculus Rift DK2, I have tried just about every VR game and demo out there.

Raphael is flight-simulator junkie, a proponent of virtual reality, and a frequent flyer between various star systems in Elite Dangerous. I remember when a friend of mine announced excitedly that he had mastered the aircraft start-up procedure for the A10 Warthog-it took him about a week! DCS World recently received some big improvements for Rift support.

DCS World is one of the few remaining hardcore PC flight simulators with a major emphasis on attention to detail.
