Condor 2 v 2.0.5 with VR Support
Piet,
If you don't mind, would you give us an idea of the specific computer setup you are running with the Oculus Rift? I'm going to have update my desktop to get it running but it sounds like it will be worth it! |

Thank you Chris. However, I was specifically looking for Piet's setup since he seems to be having a good time of it!

I'm going to have update my desktop to get it running but it sounds like it will be worth it! Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 FTW (overkill, 2 years old) Displayport to HDMI - Monitor HDMI - Oculus Rift CPU Core i5-2500K @3.30GHz (probably overkill, 3 years old) Memory: 16.0 GB DDR3-1333 (probably overkill, 3 years old) USB 3.0 PCI Card Mach 0.1 simulator is "in the mail" (says Russell Holtz). My son permanently borrowed my rudder, throttle, joystick and TrackIR to play War Thunder, so it was worth it for me to buy the whole Mach 0.1 setup instead of piecing it together myself. The system listed above is more than enough to handle Condor in full graphics mode, and most of the parts are 2 years old or more. |

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on the Oculus Rift but it occurred to me that my vision might be a problem. I need glasses to read/work with a computer but am OK with my contacts for distance vision. Is this going to be a problem?

Its possible to get corrective lenses designed to fit into the Rift. https://vr-lens-lab.com/product/ocul...-lens-inserts/ https://vroptician.com/prescription-...s/oculus-rift/ https://widmovr.com/product/oculus-r...enses-adapter/ |

Condor 2 v 2.0.5 with VR Support
Many Best Buys stores have Oculus Rift and Go demo areas so maybe you can find a store near you and try it out before buying. I had the exact same concern as you, went to the store yesterday to try it out and found no issues whatsoever. I was so impressed with the Rift demo that I bought one on the spot.
I have extremely poor vision and require progressive focus lenses. I'm considered near sighted and can't focus on anything beyond about 4" from my eyes. I also have dual astigmatism. Even with all of that stacked against me, my glasses fit comfortably inside the Rift goggles and my ability to focus was not compromised. According to Oculus documentation, the designed focus distance of the Rift screens is about 5 ft. I did not experience any need to try to shift the view location on my progressive lenses to get into focus like is often required with bi-focals or progressives since the entire field of the goggle's view is tuned to 5 ft. As others have already posted, there are several sources selling corrective lenses for the rift and worst case scenario is that you'll need to spend a little more and get one of those solutions.

Thanks for the help my eyesight and being able to focus with or without glasses. I did take Robert's advice and went to Best Buy to demo the Oculus. Without glasses the imagery was in focus and did not present any problems. It turns out that the online help files describe the focus is similar to viewing an item at about a 5 foot range in spite of the fact that the Oculus Rift lenses are about 1 cm away from your eyeballs.
The demo was impressive enough that I, too, bought the Oculus Rift on the spot. Now onto to Condor - but first I need to wait for the computer upgrades to be able to operate VR equipment. |

Is this good enough to run Condor?
