Why Oculus Rift is not active for VR support.

[TIG]

I downloaded this game in the basis of VR support for Oculus Rift. I got disappointed when I found VR support is actively for VIVE and no mention about Oculus.
I requested a full refund.
This is bad from Steam adv. for this game.

In Steam Library, if I click to play IL-2 Sturmovik, it saysLaunch VR with Steam. Nothing for Oculus Rift :(

You need to run it through steamVr software.

VR Tips and Tricks

Here are some tips & tricks you may already know that will help set up your VR for IL-2 (but it may be useful for other games).

IL-2 Sturmovik uses Open VR interface, meaning you need to have Steam VR application installed on your PC. If you have HTC Vive, it is already installed (or you won't be able to use it in other games). However, if you have Oculus Rift, you may or may not have it installed. So, the first step would be installing Steam, logging into your Steam account and installing Steam VR from Steam store.

Run Steam VR to set up your Oculus Rift there: run Room Setup. Make sure it works fine for you in Steam VR tutorial. HTC Vive users have this set up already.

Run IL-2 Sturmovik. If Oculus Home and Steam VR applications are not active, it should launch them by itself. When the game loads, your HMD should be working already and you should see the VR image from one of the eye screens on your regular monitor. Oculus Home and Steam VR windows may obscure the IL-2 window on your regular monitor so minimize them and click on IL-2 Sturmovik window to return focus to it (that's how Windows works)

If you launch IL-2 and VR mode doesn't kick in, make sure that Steam VR (and Oculus Home if you have Oculus Rift) are installed and configured properly, and/or launch them manually before starting the game. If VR still won't kick in, go to graphics settings of the game and check that 'Use VR HMD' option is on. While you're at it, note the new graphics options there: Sharpen and Dynamic resolution factor.

Thank you very much.
Will try and update you. Anyway, I refunded already the amount but will try with other application having the same issue.

You have to do that with every Steam game that supports Oculus too.
And if you buy IL2 from there homepage you can save up to 50% if you be quick!

I have Steam VR. But every time I launch it it says headset not detected even if Oculus Rift is on. I cannot go to Room setup in Steam VR. I feel from the begining it is with no use for Oculus.
Do not know what to do.
Other VR games by Steam are working perfectly without Stram VR.

It definitely works with the Rift, so you must not be setting up the Rift correctly with SteamVR. Have you run the SteamVR setup process with the Rift before trying to play any SteamVR games? The setup process should start automatically if you have the Rift up and running when starting the SteamVR program.

Steam VR is really not active application in my Steam Library. I played several Steam based VR games without even thinking about Steam VR.
Do you have any procedure to activate Oculus Rift with Steam VR?
Thank you and all.
