Star Citizen - vorpX Oculus VR & Warthog HOTAS
We look at our updated settings for vorpX & the Oculus Rift in Star Citizen as well as combing a HOTAS and freelook to be able to look around the cockpit while you fly. This isn't using TrackIR it's all from vorpX & the Oculus.
In Game Settings:
Fullscreen will get you best quality & frames
Windowed Mode if you are recording or you can't get vorpX to hook.
1920x1080 Resolution - Very High Quality
Low Mouse Sensitivity
vorpX Desktop Settings & ingame Settings - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G59281qfRU8
Check "Disable Aero on game start"
Do not use an Oculus Profile
Do not enable head tracking roll
Go to excluded programs and exclude "anything that might interfere" like Steam, Mumble, Skype, things that aren't games.
Based on your POV Preference Use Letterbox 1 or 2
Image zoom to 0.85 - 0.95
Tweak interpupillary distance with the rift on until it feels comfortable - IMPORTANT
If you see colour bleeding turn on "fix chromatic aberration"
Enable "shader antialiasing" if desired
Turn head tracking down to about 0.2
Turn head tracking smoothing off
Desktop Graphics Settings - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjUO0s0jLqg Set Contrast to 60
In your Graphics Control Center if you have one:
Set Anstropic Filtering to x16
Texture Filtering to High Quality
Set V-Sync to Always off
Make sure the Rift is the main display in portrait orientation, and is offset diagonally from your monitor display (sides do not touch, only the corner, this ensures your mouse doesn't accidentally escape the screen you're on)
Then run Star Citizen! Use Windows Key + Shift + Arrow Key to switch the Star Citizen window between displays, and use Alt + Enter to toggle fullscreen.
Once loaded you will see side-by-side images, hit DEL to bring up the vorpX menu. Go to display settings.
The Warthog HOTAS is amazing, but I would only suggest for an enthusiast & then only when flying ships larger ships that are not agile. It's build quality and feel are to die for tho - http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/hotas-warthog
