VR in FC with Rift S for Dummies ?

[BobMurphy123]

Folks

 

I have the software and the hardware and all seems good to go in isolation

 

Flying Circus plays just fine standalone

 

ditto for Oculus Rift   S

 

Can anyone list the basic BABY steps to get into VR for Flying Circus ?

 

Where must the game software reside ?

 

Must I use Steam ?

 

many thanks

Hi Bob,

I responded to your post on this yesterday in this thread:

Hi dburne

 

Thank you.

 

I am very close now using Steam VR - but still no prize 

 

I am standing in the Il-2 Sturmovik Hangar in VR mode with a screen that says  ENTER - but I have no way to move the mouse arrow or any other controller to select it.

 

Any ideas how to move forward would be most appreciated

 

Cheers

 

Bob

Are you sure you dont have to [alt]+[tab] to get mouse working? 
it happened to me once ir twice. Then another program was active and mouse did not work

[CalaveraLoco]

I have to regularly alt-tab at the begining or (equivalently) click on the VR mirror window.

Yeah. If there’s a process running in the foreground then the mouse cursor will not move. Lift up your headset to see the monitor and alt tab to either shutdown that process or select IL-2.

Good to go now. Fantastic effect.

 

Thanks for your help

 

Now....

 

any suggestion for air sickness ?

 

I am a pilot and I fly a 1940 DH-82A Tiger Moth for real but this VR  is giving me the whirlies

Take breaks when you feel it coming on, took me about two weeks to get acclimated to it.

Good advice. 

 

I think a few scenic cross countries will be better than an 8 ship fur ball

 

thanks again
