How to setup the Oculus Rift

[Kevin_J_Barton]

HI there, someone from dovetail told me at the GamesCom, that there is Oculus Rift support for the game. So now I have the rift, but how does it work with the game?

Hi there kevinbarton77. I think I need to clear up a few things here.

You are right TS2015 does have an Oculus Rift mode and can be used with the hardware however it was added as a development tool and is not officially supported as a feature so your experience may be a bit hit and miss. Think of it as a prototype feature rather than a finished fully supported one. Some things in the game will not work for example the menus and smoke effects.

The other important thing to note is that it only works with the first Oculus development kit - DK1. It will not work with the latest one.

To activate it you need to add -OculusRift to the Steam launch command for the game. Once in a scenario you then have to press alt+shift+O to turn it on.

Have fun.

Wondering the same thing.

Necrobumping for response. You there, DTG?

Further necrobump.

If DTG adds Vive support to 2018 even as a paid add-on I will throw my money in their faces and beg them to take it.

Presumably there has been a terrible disaster at Dovetail HQ, rendering them completely incapable of responding to this thread. At least their DLC department still appears to be operational.

They have only a few forum moderators across their Steam game forums. The likelihood of this being scene is not that hight. Have patience, if no detail is given then DTG probably don't have any to give.
