oculus rift dk2 on its way :-)

Well just woke my misses up to say is it ok to bid on something for my sim n she says yes, so i bloody did
I set a deal up with a chap for Buy it Now on the oculus rift d2 at his start bid, i do hope i can get it to work tho when it gets here as its gunna be quite confusing. guess its more stuff i gotta check out ! doh.
I want to run it in ac and iracing mainly tbh.
I know the new ones out next year but couldn't resist for a couple hundred quid as i might not like it yet so if its ok for me the new one will be on the cards next year.

are they hard to get running as i have no idea ?

Sounds exciting! Keep us posted on your progress.

I signed up to iRacing and the Rift is only supported up to SDK 0.6 which is no good to me as I'm now on 0.8 and cant be bothered with the SDK changer. They probably will update it once it gets to SDK 1.0.

I should of checked before I signed up but it was only $49 for a year so not all is lost.

Rift SDK 1.0 just shipped out to developers along with final hardware so I think AC will be updated to 1.0 and the DK2 does support 1.0 though it's not out to the public just yet. TBH I'm hope for pre-orders before 2016, but CES in January is more likely. They are ready for their Q1 2016 launch. Anyway I don't think you will have to much problem with it. Grab the latest runtime and sdk then grab a runtime switcher so you can change to 0.6 and run AC.

thanks all sounds like xmas is coverd for messing things up with that lot of info ! lol
all in good fun tho i guess.
They seem to be fetching stupid money on ebay atm but got it for £230 so not all bad, at least i can have a play and see how it feels as i do read its not for everyone.
That way i can sell get money back or more later and go for the release cv rift.
Im certainly going to be the bigger kid this xmas he he or should i say ho ho

Might be useful with a new DK2 Steam Sale
Alien Isolation is dead scary with a Rift

not a patch on my driving thats is scary if you can have a two seat sim ! lol

if im only using iracing and ac then i only need install the 0.6 sdk would i not i dont use owt else, infact i forgot nolimits not sure if thats ok with 0.6

Project Cars is on sale, worth having if you have a DK2 , 0.8 runtime though, No Limits works on 0.8
@noorbeast should get it at that price!

Thats awesome price have you updated the games bundle thread, be defo worth sharing that info for others
hope its still on xmas day i will get it then defo.

Well the postie came today and the sender sent it iin xmas paper and the kids were here :-( gutted i can not open it now till xmas day ! doh wasn't expecting that :-( cry

HI Guys , all this steam stuff ( total Newbie , im from the buys the DVD rom age :-( yeah im that old ) so has me flustered , if i buy project cars now at this great price is it locked to my internet download the PC ( will be building Gaming PC for my simulator early in the new year ) or can i download it and transfer it to the new PC then register it ( i suppose) i will be doing this with P3D as well so would be handy to know how this new steam thing works in that respect . Cheers

as far as I know yes they changed it so you can use another computer with your account but only your account will have the game. and it can only be used 1 computer at a time to play it.
they was working on a family thing but not sure what it is.

Thanks for the info ,, bending plastic now

OMG !!!!!

THATS ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THE RIFT
I REALLY CAN NOT BELEIVE MY EYES.

WHAT EVER IT IS I AM GETTING THE CV 1 IF I CAN

few reliability issues atm min on iracing but will keep trying but WOW !

yeastarday i have tested some rift on a shop, its interesting the idea, just the graphics its not even close to a real screen, but its very funny lool
