VORPX – OCULUS DK2 – FLIGHT SIMULATOR X

[droflas]

HI. Can anybody explain how to get Flight sim X to run on my Oculus DK2 ???

I can see the demo Table
I can see a funfair ride
I just can’t get flight sim to run, I get the title screen up on the DK2 but when I turn my head, the image is locked and so I can’t look around.

Doing lots of messing around, I have had the double image on my monitor and when I move the DK2, the image moves with them, but the DK2 is not displaying anything so I can’t see anything.

Help please.

Did you follow the steps in the DK2 Setup Guide in the vorpX help? It explains two possible setups for getting the image to the Rift (short version below). You can also select the output adapter in the FSX graphics options.

Regarding looking around: you have to be in a cockpit view and then enable mouselook. The default FSX shortcut for that is [SHIFT][O] (Oscar).

You have two options to use vorpX:

A. The convenient one (works with most games)

1. Set the Rift DK2 to “Extend Desktop to HMD”
2. Use the Rift DK2 as SECONDARY monitor in Windows
3. Set the Rift DK2 to “Portrait” mode in Windows
(might be “Landscape flipped” in Windows 8)
4. Set vorpX to “Show on DK2″ display wise in the vorpX config app.

B. The compatible one

1. Set the Rift DK2 to “Extend Desktop to HMD”
2. Use the Rift DK2 as PRIMARY monitor in Windows
3. Set the Rift DK2 to “Portrait” mode in Windows
(might be “Landscape flipped” in Windows 8)
4. Set vorpX to “Use system settings” display wise in the vorpX config app.

It is important to choose the right setting in the vorpX config app according to your display settings in Windows. It is important to choose the right setting in the vorpX config app according to your display settings in Windows.
