Oculus users' OpenComposite

[Britchot]

I noticed all you cats and your fancy WMR headsets (I used to be one, too), getting all sorts of benefits with OpenXR, but that didn't affect me since I mainly fly DCS straight from Oculus.  One of the things that has kept me away from IL-2 is the use of SteamVR and having 2 programs running to project VR.  Now that they dropped a C-47 pilot career, I looked around at options to get out of SteamVR and found it's been there for ~4 years!

NOTE: This is for Oculus headset users, only!  For all others, use OpenXR!

When using the system-wide installation, all your SteamVR-based games will be run via OpenComposite. To switch back to SteamVR, simply run SteamVR (eg click the VR button in Steam) and your games will launch through SteamVR again.

Thanks, this is awesome.  Will have to test it.

Been having issues getting it to download the DLL. I’ll keep working on it, this weekend.

Brit,

I'll give it a try, and see if I can get it. I'll copy it on TS3 someplace and let you know.

S!

@Lipfert, thanks but I found a better link for OpenComposite through their Discord, redownloaded it and had no issues.  Apparently the first one was obsolete.
