Showroom My first ride with Oculus Rift DK2

I have just got my DK2 up and running on my rig with LFS and the immersion is really good. My biggest problem is the in car sound, it's just bloody awful it spoils it a lot for me. I can forgive the crappy graphics but the sound is so poor.

Can't wait to try Project CARS when it comes out just wish I had signed up when it started.

And hopefully AC will get full DK2 support soon.

Has anyone tried vorpx to use Dirt3 or Grid because they have good sound and better graphics.

I've tried Prepar3D but the frame rate is way to low and it juddered like hell although I have not tried it since I got my new GTX970


Much more testing and trying to do yet but VR is going to be an amazing ride to be on as it develops and gets better and better.

Hi guys,

Wow! I was quite some time without activity here, I guess the daily workload gets to me... LOL
Here finally a new video with my latest setup and some cameras setup. I hope this time all is better synced...



Let me know what you think guys... I am glad to be with some more time again and back...

How's your tracker attached? I think if your tracker not moves with your seat together just stay still in the front of you may get some unwanted movements. Example what i see that when you drive the car to the Right your head leaning too to the same side but it should to the left as the g-forces acting on it and u need hold with your own muscles.
Or im wrong?

Hi Tomsix, you are absolute right about that. The tracker is right now at the top of my screen in front which is a bad thing. There are two problems with this. 1. you mentioned already, additional 2. problem is that the vibrations from your cockpit let the monitor from time to time shake and there for give you in some situations the feeling the street would be extreme bumpy.

Before I used to fix the tracker with a small stick fixed to the wall which gets rid of the second problem. there isnt really a way to attach the tracker to the chair unless you want a huge construction around you.

Having said that, during you drive this dont really seem a problem because your head still moves to the forces of the cockpit anyway. At least I can say that this never somehow felt different as to drive in a real car. I guess this comes harder over the screen as you feel it in the end.

I have a seatmover and I use the dk2 camera at top of the monitor, wich not moves with the seat. It works perfectly, the feeling when moving the chair is very immersive.

Thats how I use but since the entire platform vibrates from the SCN5 movment and buttkicker the tracker on my screen also swing a little bit with the screen around. In my case everything including the screen is mounted on one platform which is on robber feed. The effect is much better and realistic when I fix the tracker (not attach to my platform and away from vibrations). but other than that, I agree, works perfect and feels as real as it gets... well, at least I am happy with it
