Thanks, but I think I have get steam to recognize my HMD.  Hope I don't have to install steam.

You will need either steam or open composite to use it.  I just use steam, no problems.

I take it I need both apps, but not seeing how their used yet.   I know they have a lot of features, but my only interest is making rift usable without a steam install, any tips ?

Thanks,

When using opencomposite you don't need steam or steamvr at all.

Or OTT?  Then I'll search for info on opencomposite

OTT is optional.

 

Here is how it goes:

 

Opencomposite is a very simple plugin that makes it possible for IL-2 to run without steamVR (and I guess other games too that use steamvr by default). So this is mandatory if you want the game to run without steam or steamVR. And highly recommended as most people report a substantial performance gain using this instead of steamvr.

 

OTT (oculus tray tool) is a program that is used to set up a few parameters for oculus. The two most important are pixel density (supersampling) and ASW. Since you can already control supersampling with opencomposite, you only need OTT if you want to have ASW disabled by default.

Thank you HunDread.
