Oculus quest 2 work with IL2?

[Pdeaton279]

If just reinstalled il2 via steam as I got the oculus quest 2 for Xmas and thought it would be a great game with vr. 

I can't get it to work. I launch the game via steam vr and once in the game I just get a windowed view of the cockpit and no vr experience. I connect the oculus via a link cable and this works fine with DCS which I also play. 

Anyone have any ideas on the set up? I've enabled 3rd party apps on the oculus and can't see anything in settings that can help.

Add il-2 too oculus library start from that .

Make sure you have stream VR up to date . 

I've added DCS and il-2 into my library and i now start there . 

Try coming out of steam VR start game normally make sure works in flat screen .

Then restart using steam VR .

It does work, I've played it with it here. Oculus Link cable was used. Streaming over WiFi didn't work (compressed view).

When you say steam VR is that the normal steam. When I launch the game it asks if I want to launch it in vr mode. It loads it up OK but the game is not in vr mode?

You need Steam VR . like above its an APP on steam you need this installed . 

Add il-2 to your Quest2 library .

Use link cable .

Salute,

 

I have a Rift and have recently fallen out of love with it compared to the quality of the image I can get on my screen and TrackIR.

Having said that I would like to get back to using VR for IL2 (flying and Tanks) as well as Assetto Corsa Competizone driving sim.

 

I am thinking of upgrading to the Quest2.

 

Is there anyone that has done the same upgrade that can comment on the difference / improvements?

 

I have just watched a review by GamerMuscle who commented that (whilst racing) that objects in the distance can be a little blurred (he referenced the brake boards beyond 100m could be a little blurred). By how much I don't know but if a lot obviously not ideal for taking out a tank at 1000m.

 

 Cheers

Quest 2 for IL2 VR is a very good investment. The picture is clear and sharp. Objects at distance are crisp....not blurred like in Dirt2 Rally.

The only problem I have is finding a sure way to get my xbox 360 controller being recognized by IL2 in VR mode. I got it to work yesterday for 2 hours, so I know it functions. I used virtual Desktop for a wireless gameplay. only the xbox Controller was a device with a cable. 

It depends on the way you start IL2, but I forgot the working starting procedure for Steam VR. Any tips for getting the controller recocnized with every start of IL2?

You should use open composite instead of steam vr.

Could I ask for some help about the nvidia and general setup tips for quest 2? The cockpit is beautiful, but the terrain and spotting is horrible and have fps drops. I tried many different setups, upscale at 150% and still a blurry zig-zag mess the terrain. I'm new to vr, I start Il-2 from steam vr via a link cable.
