I want to connect two oculus devices to one PC so that a friend can sit next to me in real life and we can se both the same thing everyone in his one VR headset so fore example we can fly Flightsimulator, one is the Pilot and one the copilot.
Is that possible?
Note: I want to connect a quest 3 and a quest 1 on to the same pc at the same time to sit at the same time in the cockpit of a virtuel aircraft.
There was a Reddit post way back when someone managed to get a Rift CV1 running via its wired connection using the Oculus API and a Quest 1 running wirelessly via Virtual Desktop and SteamVR simultaneously on a single PC... with Arizona Sunshine running on both headsets, the game had to be purchased on both platforms, Oculus Store for the Rift and Steam for the Quest running SteamVR/VD.
But that looks to have been a one-off and I haven't seen any posts since where the same thing has been able to be done with two Quests.
But, besides the API limitations of being designed only to run a single headset, there are the considerable PC limitations, VR is very CPU/GPU intensive, even today, the average PC struggles to run VR games, especially something as demanding as a flight simulator, you need a beefy 'VR capable' PC just to cope with a single headset.
On top of that, the simulator has to have shared cockpit functionality. Flight Simulator 2020 doesn't have this and it hasn't been confirmed for FS2024 either.
DCS has this function, but each player has to be running the sim on their own individual PC. Partly because of the headset API limitations but also, as I say, the PC performance limitations.
If FS 2024 introduces shared cockpits (I hope it does) it'll be the same deal, pilot and co-pilot will need to be running their own copy of the sim on individual PCs. the upside would be that they'd be able to do this remotely from each other.
