Well, call me a masochist, but I have decided that for the full DK2 experience I needed to start from the beginning so I cleared my save (Viper and 500K cr!) and went back to the Sidey!

Great decision, I love the differences in the cockpit and the roof is so low I can stand up and have my head out of the sunroof!

Amassed just over 20k cr this afternoon farming the Federal distress beacon and saw a familiar face/Name (BobbyDylan) Amazing to think we were both there killing Feds in DK2. (I am Andark in game BTW BD)

Turned of AA and hit constant 75fps everywhere including in stations so I am happy. DK2 in ED just keeps getting better and better well done oculus and well done FD for supporting the tech and making my dreams come true. Never thought I would experience this in my lifetime (and it is only beta and a dev kit!)

Oh and Raindor man/woman up and install the damn thing. you'll thank us later ;)

Whohoo!!! yeah, saw you there. Sorry, I stole one of your kills :D

I've only got about 6k credits in the bank, so I'm petrified of losing the viper. But this game in a Dk2, when dogfighting is something really special!

ok I did as you asked guys, installed...
Issue, does anyone know what the desktop settings should be or something as when I go into game (ED) and set to secondary display I get the left half of the screen in my right eye and the right side of the screen in my left eye. :-S

Worked fine in the Utility room and yes i updated Firmware.

Have you used the program mentioned on the first page to kill all the tasks? Also tick the box in that program to enable SSE fix.

No you were fine, I saw you were attacking and backed off, I am paranoid about kill stealing!

The viper tears through feds at FD though doesn't it. I had mine equipped with 2 class 2 lasers and 2 class 2 cannons (not multi-cannons) Those things are like mini railguns! and the noise is like a howitzer going off!

No was being an idiot, forgot to enable OR in the 3D mode box.
Now I just need to figure out how to enable head tracking as that doesnt work yet in ED.

Seeing you online makes me wonder if we should attempt to create a DK group in game, no idea how it would work but it would be cool to all fly together where possible. We could even try voice chat if people are not too self concious about that sort of thing!

You need to kill wscript.exe and then ovrservice in task manager before you start the game

What does the SSE fix fix ? :)

Edit: nvm, I think I found out it has something to do with older cpus?

Don't know I just clicked it out of desperation when trying to get it working!

Lol have to say,
http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/2c2ipi/unofficial_oculus_service_manager_by_bilago/

That program and the SSE fix sorted out head tracking immediately.

I think I need to change the lenses though as I am finding things a little too fuzzy without my glasses. Normally not an issue, but clearly for this its important to have as sharp an image as possible to avoid motion sickness.

What are your prescriptions, and which lenses?

Mine is -2.00/-2.25 and I find I need to use my contacts with lens A, lens B still appears fussy without.

Last I checked something silly like -0.75 and -0.25, but its the astigmatism that is the issue.

Still find with glasses things get out of focus very quickly, something you dont get on the monitor. Not sure if this is something I can tweak though with settings, but I do find things very unsharp when not directly centered and close.

Hows the framerate?
Click to expand...

Actually not sure, cant seem to bring up the Framerate by pressing CTRL+F when in OR mode. Will keep trying.

The experience is great, i have to say. Following ships a real breeze now, but I need a sharper image and I do miss playing in the higher resolutions. That said the experience is grea and that is so far just be tinkering in the SP missions.

Easiest way is to hit ctrl f then F10 to take a screenshot. Ctrl F works but puts the counter in the top left outside your field of view!

Ah indeed, max GFX settings enabled I get:
@1920 x 1080 all settings on HIGH.

In station when docked:
36 FPS

In Motion (in station):
38.4 FPS

Space (stationary):
64 FPS

Space (In Motion):
61 FPS

EDIT: Cockpit is great, though some of the texts could be sharper. Main bug bear though is items at distance outside of canopy get fuzzy real quick, even space stations are annoyingly low res feeling. This is me being picky, I am sure it is leaps and bounds better than the DK1, but I can see why it is not a finished product yet.

Head movement is class! I just want to reach out and touch everything. :)

Not too bad considering. As long as it feels OK to play you should be fine until FD or OR optimise some stuff!

Well for me anything under 75fps is unplayable, I'll rather have it in low settings than higher fidelity.

I just find the graininess of it all an issue vs the latency, odd huh... Even to the point that for general flying around at least, I feel less queesy if I turn the gfx up and lose the frames.

Of course I might think differently when in intense combat.

Well finally got mine.
Found the usb3 port on the back don't work. Changed them over.
Rift screen ok but camera waiting for reply (lights for a short time then off after startup), think its Logitech thing from the support pages but I have only got a wireless keyboard so unhooking that is not an option at the moment.

Ah well didn't even get to see the demo....scuppered first at first hurdle. :(
