Help ! Spent $$ nothing works
« on: October 02, 2016, 04:30:54 PM »
Aaaarrrrgggggg,

Just bought a thrust master warthog, stick, rudder, and throttle.  The throttle fires the guns, no flight controls work, and as soon as the game starts all guns are firing.

Also, bought an oculus rift, can't find the setting to make it work in AC3, please help ! :bhead

Btw, I'm pretty much an idiot so be specific

Check the pedal mapping. Calibrate each controller in advanced controller setup. Check all the throttle and stick mappings.

For the rift go to options in the rift program and check allow other programs or whatever it's called.

In the Oculus program in settings/general check allow unknown sources. Map a button to tracker center.

Use the lens spacing feature often until you get used to it to make sure the headset is aligned for the best picture. You don't have to reset the spacing, just check the headset position.

Leave space around your nose for ventilation and peeking at the keyboard.

Forgot to mention, the rift headset forces power savings on the usb hub it's plugged into. You may need your controllers and the rift sensor plugged into a different usb hub.

In AH  clipboard options map controllers you can map a throttle or joystick button to 'tracker center', it's listed in views. This lets you center either TrackIr or the Rift while in game without using the Oculus app.

Everything working now?

Nothing.  I programmed a button but nothing comes on the VR.

Do I need to be on line, or is off line ok?

Make sure you are running the DX11 version of the game.  The DX9 version does not support VR headsets.

When you start the DX11 version the game asks if you wish to use your Oculus. Just click yes. Your start menu has both DX9 and DX11 versions.

It works offline and online.

Can you run the Dreamdeck demo's in Oculus?

You should see both versions under Hitech Creations. I'm surprised the installation didn't put a shortcut on your desktop for the dx11 version.

In the folder C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III\Aceshigh9.exe or ..\Aceshigh11.exe
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Sorry for the confusion,  I meant Aces High III on the start menu. I was at work and remembered the folder name instead of the menu name.

You can simply right click on the existing aces High 3 desktop icon and select "Open file location" it will take you to the folder with the dx 11 version right next to the DX 9 version your desktop icon is currently tied to.
When you find the proper DX 11 .exe you can right click that and send it to desktop creating a new shortcut. Mine did NOT install any desktop icon other then the DX 9 version.
Good luck.
