Notes from an Oculus Rift installation and other comments

For some reason when I launch from oculus I need to take off my headset and click on the aces high tab in the taskbar before it will let me click with the mouse in game. Otherwise it seems to default to the oculus controller.

I figured that out also. Highlight the selection and then grope around for the mouse and click with it.  Hopefully there’s a more efficient way of doing it that I’m not aware of yet

Left and right mouse click are settings you can map to your joystick or throttle. One of my joystick hats is flaps up/down and mouse click left/right.

Good idea.  I thought about that during one of my groping episodes last night. It was quite entertaining as I explored the Oculus use outside of AH reaching around for virtual things and touching random objects on my desk.  Funny and entertaining at the same time. 

Also, you mentioned turning off anti-aliasing earlier.  I didnt readily find that in the AH menus.  Is it hidden somewhere or is it in a computer menu (W10)? 

Thanks for the idea.

that is a good idea, didn't even occur to me to map that mouse click. Thanks FLS!

So, does that mean you’ve been doing the blind grope method also?

I'm a professional at this point

  Yeah, I can see how that doesn’t take too long to achieve.  A really weird feeling reaching for the mouse and feeling something unexpected.

I mapped the mouse click to the stick today.  It actually works pretty well.

Puma made a good point that i had not thought about.  VR has just about eliminated most of the  appearance of stick jerking you might see in a red you are trying to shoot.

Found my momo in the basement and unboxed it.  It's missing the power adapter. It's a common adapter so hopefully i can get the replacement today.
And i'll pick up project cars and DiRT Rally.   

The wheel is old (2002?ish) but i'm reading that it's still competitive and preferred by some for racing so that's pretty nice.
We'll see if it still works!

Do you have a FFB wheel?

[FLS]

I have the same wheel in my basement. 

Let me know if you need the power adaptor specs.
