Help needed : Activating IL-2 for Oculus Rift S

[Mungee]

I’m afraid that I’m stuck.

 

I’ve just installed Oculus Rift S on my PC and it appears to be working fine.

 

my problem is: how do I get “IL-2 Sturmovik : a Great Battles” to come through to the Oculus headset - the sound is but the image is not.

 

Does one have to disable the monitor?

 

Does one have to download and use the Steam VR app (i’ve Purchased all my copies through the IL-2 Online Store and NOT through Steam.

 

Your guidance will be grately appreciated.

I could not get oculus s to work with il2 in the headset just got the loading symbol game never started, worked fine with DCS, had enabled vr in the settings.

You also need to enable it in the oculus settings

Could you post the steps?  I have Rift S as well and would be interested in knowing what I need to do.

One needs to download and install SteamVR - that, together with the Oculus software is what is required to get IL-2 Sturmovik : Great Battles to work.

I've found too that once you have Steam VR and the Oculus software all properly installed, all you need to do is run IL2 with the VR option checked at the load screen. That's it. Don't run Steam VR or Oculus first. These just boot up automatically when you launch IL2.

Thanks, PeterPanPan.
