No

Just use head tracking with opentrack

I use a dell visor. $200 and works fine for flight sim.

WMR headsets are pretty good now, compatible with most if not all of the steam platforms, and built in tracking.

Bought a Dell visor too for 200. They're still on sale on amazon. Acer one aint bad either

While we are on the subject of VR flight sims: has anyone played VTOL VR? Does it have it's mission editor yet?

>>15030093

Will this work with BMS?

>>15030681

I think it should, but I haven't gotten around to testing that one yet. It's been working with all other VR things so far (even ones that claimed to be oculus exclusive.

>>15030681

Most likey, yes.

Found this, still not sure it supports the dell one tho

>>15030658

its been a while since i played VTOL VR. i stopped checking on it ever since they relased a fighter jet to ride on. you can always check the news tab if they impelemted that.

>>15030853

>anything steamvr works with WMR

>that means dell vr headsets will work too

Correct.

I've heard that WMR only works with Win10. Is that true? Was thinking of getting the dell set, but I'm still on 7 with no plans to update.

>>15033854

Yeah, you need windows 10, mainly because all of the drivers are built into the OS.

>>15033901

Someone could make drivers.

I mean as long as there isn't a handshake thing in them that checks the operating system

>>15030627

>Dell visor too for 200. They're still on sale on amazon.

Fucking hell the price of those keeps going up. It was 265 last week, and now it's 288. I've been waiting for it to go under 250 on an international seller but that shit just hasn't happened. Biggest problem is that these headsets are made for women with smaller IPDs. WMR headsets have an IPD set to 63mm while male average sits at 71mm. Headaches and blur for everyone with eyes the normal distance apart. Only the samsung variant has a hardware adjustment for it which goes 60-72mm.

>>15034392

Vive is NSA+Winblows only, WMR is WIN10+assrape only, maybe the occulus has apple support but it's also owned by fuccboik.

>>15034435

Dell Visor only works with Wangblowz 10. Fuck that.

What is the best tool to use SteamVR on my android phone?

Considering I have W10.

I'm sorry, Ryzen got intentionally wrecked on w7.

>head tracking on a static screen

For what purpose?

>>15035925

So that you don't have to take your hands off the HOTAS to look around the cockpit and keep your eyes on a target. Your movements are amplified, so turning your head slightly to the right (which allows you to keep looking at the screen without any issues) would turn your character's head further to the right. Literally every not-shit head tracking program allows you to change the curves too, so if you think it's too sensitive or too stiff you can just play around with it and see what works best for you.

It's a whole lot of fun and feels more natural than anything else.

>>15035915

vridge, I guess

>>15034115

>Only the samsung variant has a hardware adjustment for it which goes 60-72mm.

The Rift has adjustable IPD as well

>>15036945

Yes, but the Samsung WMR's the only WMR with that feature.

It's also the only WMR without a flip-up visor.

>>15035915

If you were even the least bit intelligent, you could've hooked up a PS/2 keyboard and kept using Windows 7, or you could've installed Linux. Faggot.

VR is gay, do not buy unless you like loli wolf girls and headpats.

>>15033863

>Yeah, you need windows 10, mainly because all of the drivers are built into the OS.

its just a coincidence, right?

>>15036957

I actually really like the Flip up visor.

Though, I really enjoy the PSVR headset, I like the rift, but it's just too much on the head.

>>15039978

Well to be technical.

It's by design. The drivers would have only worked with Steam running if they went Valve like they were originally going to.

The one positive side to it is that I'd assume that they won't be a shitty broken mess without steam running

>>15029266

i played DCS World (the Huey module) for a few hours with the Vive and it was alright. Pretty cool for looking around the cockpit and makes it way easier to scope out a landing site, check your gauges, that sort of thing. it's limited (as with any other VR game in my experience) by the fact that you can't use your actual hands for anything, so when you need to flip switches, adjust your radio frequencies or whatever you are dragged out of the immersion by reaching out then realizing you need to use your other hand for the mouse

honestly i'd just recommend what >>15030088 said and use a headtracker; at least that way your head/face won't get super sweaty and you don't have to wear a 3lb weight on the top of your head

>>15039978

drivers aren't build into the OS, the problem with those W10 exclusive software is that M$ makes it rely on their w10 ecosystem of pajeet apps and also UWP as 2 extra layers between the hardware and you, say before connecting to the internet, their shitty games have first to run through UWP and then through their Xbox Live app, the People app, and other shit, and if you unisntall a single one of those the game just crashes; but they can remove that requirement at will as proven with the W10 exclusive games they later released to Steam.

>>15034271

How much is it to set up a seat, that also moves with the game and steering wheel?

>>15040542

They're doing some registry fuckery, as seen by the fact that haptic feedback JUST got released, but was in the bleeding edge version of W10 for WMRS.

They're doing some shit at an OS level, and that's both a good and a bad thing, the good thing is, calls and resources can be called close to the hardware level, the bad is, shit can break with a trivial update that windows 10 just loves to force down your throat.

>>15039950

Loli sex bots can't come soon enough.

>>15029528

Not the original one, its optimization was fucking dogshit. Not the new one either, for the same reason. If they'd made a VR version though, it'd play fine in 90hz, which is now VR standard and I don't think will change for a long time.

>>15040956

tens of thousands last time I checked

that kind of thing is still really niche

>>15040956

Don't buy anything less than G25, that'll set you back $100 for a used one. The G29 is pretty good for the money. "Professional" grade equipment goes upwards of $2000, but you can DIY one for less than $500.

Prebuilt motion chairs are upwards of $2500 for the simplest setup, just a frame, an underseat gimbal and two short-travel actuators to rock it back-forth-left-right giving it 2 Degrees of Freedom, pretty limited too but good enough to feel the road. Reasonably extensive setup will be anywhere between $20 000 and $60 000. As for 6DoF setups, I don't even fucking know, they're so rare they're all custom made basically you might as well just attach a seat to a robot arm and that will set you back $100 000. But you can DIY one for a small fraciton of the price: with a junkyard nearby you can get a chair-rocker 2DoF system basically for free, and a 6DoF system is manageable for under $3000. It ain't gonna look pretty, though, you wouldn't be able to show it off in /bst/ without every underage faggot laughing at you.

>>15058607

Also there are tons of forums dedicated to DIYing those machines, since prebuilts are so fucking expensive.

>>15029266

Just wait until they go into clearance.
