Can this kit be used with Digital Combat Simulator?

The Oculus Rift is what I've been waiting for for the last 15 years. I'm just wondering if I can use it for my Simulator, DCS A10 Warthog?
If I can I'll buy one now :D

    I hVE not received my Oculus Kit yet, they are assembling the kits as I type. Here's the thing, if you are a software/ gaming/hardware innovator/developer, then this version of the Oculus is for you. If you are a Gamer only with very little software knowledge, then maybe you should wait for the Gamers version to be released to the World? As I understand it, this Version of the Oclulus Vr is made with the above parameters in mind, and the User/Gamer frliendly Version will be the next release to the World.

    Thats my take on Mr. Luckey's Development of his Invention. I would bet They are taking pre-orders for the next Generation of the Oculus if you asked for it?

    Good Luck,

    P.S.
    This OculusVersion is Unreal Engine compatible I understand All the Steam Games that use this Platform, (E.G.) Half-Life,Hl2, Counter Strike?, Skyrim?, etc

    Still waiting for my Developers Kit, so I can't confirm the Games without researching the Forums again, I think I'll wait for the Kit to Arrive instead, OK?

    DCS can be made to work with the Rift through some fiddling, nothing with the Rift is plug and play. DCS is still not stereoscopic (non-3D) but I'm still trying to get the 3D stuff working.

    But like Neil said this is a Dev Kit; the screen resolution is pretty much completely unusable for a game like A-10C where so much is going on in the cockpit. I fly aerobatics in DCS so I can get some use out of it even with the low res. We're also integrating the Rift into the L-39 add-on we're developing for DCS.

    If you like to tinker and have cool experiences the Rift is a solid purchase. If you just want to fly DCS A-10C you won't really be able to do that in the Rift, wait for the consumer version with a higher res screen.

    Not even a little bit. In fact, none of those games use the Unreal Engine. The first three are various versions of the Source Engine (or hlengine) and Skyrim is completely different.
