vr compatability
« on: January 24, 2021, 07:27:12 PM »
HI! im thinking of getting vr to play aces high with. and was wonderinig if anyone could tell me if the oculus quest was also compatible with aces high. or is it ONLY the rift which is compatible?  do you have a quest? does it work with aces high?as for controls how does that work? do you use the vr controllers to manipulate the throttle and stick? or do you use your joystick while not being able to see the joy stick? this will determine if i upgrade my pc before getting the headset or not. thanks yall! pardon the spelling and gramatical errors

and while not technically vr, what about this track ir stuff? anyone got info on that? go ahead and email me at 6287usmc@gmail.com if youre willing. sorry if it takes a bit for me to reply

I know that AH works with OculusVR for sure. I'm using a RiftS, the Quest is just the next gen.

I know it works with SteamVR headsets too.

okay, what about controls? how does that work in vr? do you have to grab and hold the throttle and stick with the vr controllers? or well.... how does it work? ive got about 20 ideas some sane some not about how controlling a plane in vr may work

AH is set up so you CAN use the touch controllers in VR if you want. As you can imagine they're pretty limited in what you can control due to lack of buttons etc., but will work. Not very accurate vs even a crappy stick.

I use the hotass setup I have always used. CH throttle, Warthog joystick and CH pedals. I find that the VR controls are a bit laggy. They work, but cant compete with the real stick setup.

Once you put your headset on, and grab your joystick your good to go. The only problem is with the headset on your cant use the keyboard. There is a third party voice program you can use to have keyboard actions work, kinda of speak and do  :) Its called "Voice Attack"

Voice Attack is highly recommended. Since it's almost impossible to type with the headset on this is a tremendous help. Great for simple commands you'd otherwise have to type. I've found trying to dictate with it not very good tho. The game does have its own virtual keyboard now that pops up when you bring up the buffer or save a film.

Quest and Quest 2 work with AH and most Oculus games.

Two things though. First you need to get an appropriate USB cable, like the Oculus Link Cable. Your PC must also have a USB3 port, preferably with a USB-C connector.

Second, using the Quest has a CPU overhead - it'll knock about 20% off your framerate. ie where you have an Oculus Rift or Rift-S with your PC - you will see a slightly lower frame rate using the Quest.

I have both a Rift and a Quest.

I got a quest 2 today and managed to get it on my old Sandy bridge computer. Usb 2 port. To be honest I was just curious to see what it would do. It is definitely good enough to play on until my new rig gets here. 70 fps with the same settings I was using at 1080p.  To be honest I am surprised and somewhat impressed.

Goose - it's also compatible with Mixed Reality Headsets - I have two Acer VH101's, a Quest, and a Quest 2 in my house. Aces High works well with all three. The Quest 2 is a much better experience than the Quest, and the Rift (or Rift S) again a much better experience. I also had a Oculus for a couple years before the Rift came out.

Here's the thing about flying with VR gear - one you do it, you cannot go back to singular monitors views again. Ever. You're hooked. :D

If you go a long way into "Voice Training" the recognition gets better! Hands Down....best money I have ever spent! Feel like Clint Eastwood in "Fire Fox", but in English :aok :rofl :rofl
