Meant to be Seen

Hi girls and boys!

The first prototype of my DIY rift is almost done. Now I'm working on some improvements...

Anyway, after testing my rift using demos and free apps I got in the net, I'd like to use it with two of my favourite flight sims:
DCS - Flaming Cliffs 3
and
War Thunder

They give both Oculus Rift support but I can't get them working because they don't detect any Oculus connected. I faced the same problem with a couple of demos.

Is there a way to cheat the operating system and/or the apps, pretending the real Oculus Rift is connected?

Thanks in advance
Gico

The IMU module inside the rift is actually pin for pin compatible with USB:

Looking at the board with the connector facing down (going from the left):
Data +
Data -
Ground
5v

Just take apart a USB cable and use a multimeter on each wire to text connectivity on the four pins of a USB connector.




If you connect this module, the computer will think a rift is connected. You can get cheapish rift IMUs by buying broken rifts (I wonder what Oculus does with them...)
