Well, to tell the truth I didn't even attempt to test it back then, reading everywhere that it didn't work. But when I specifically set fullscreen 1920x1080@75 mode on the display device where Rift is attached, it puts it into 75Hz mode while my primary monitor works normally.

Fix probably later today, along with some perf fixes.

So pleased to see the update! The whole shadow/shading thing adds a lot to the overall experience. Thanks to the Outerranians. You're terrific!
And of course DK2 support!
A few comments and questions:
IQ in the Rift: I know Dk2 res is fairly low, but there is need for better filtering or AA since I got a lot of "marching jaggies" kind of unsteady visuals. No AA setting in OT seem to have an effect. Forcing it through gfx panel doesn't work too.
I found in particular the dk2 enabled UE4 demos (hang gliding demo highly recommended) having a superior smoothness in terms of image quality. Afaik, there is used some sort of temporal AA.
Scale: the Cessna should be larger at least one third. Trunks of trees are too big and so on... . Is there a way to adjust the scale? Maybe ingame?
Apparently the controls have undergone some changes. Vertical mouse movement (panning) does not work in rift mode. No more view  to the plane from above or below. Now, there is no Ufo "flight mode" ( the one I used most) anymore. How to get it back?
Performance: simply too low for the rift even with low or mid settings. No way to get 75fps (It's more in the forties or fifties with i5 770gtx win7). How to optimize?

Performance - there are some bugs, esp. trees are currently eating too much for some reason, we are working on it.
UFO flight mode is still there, except that it also automatically flies forward, but that can be stopped.
Vertical mouse in rift - I assume you mean in 3rd person? That would be a bug, I disabled vertical mouse in fps only.
Scale - cockpit should be the right size, Rift should give the right size feeling - not sure why you think so. MiG is ok?

AA other than FXAA is currently ignored.

Ok, checked again, no vertical mouse movement for 3rd person view of planes, boats or vehicles with dk2 and no ufo flight mode with dk2 possible. On normal monitor it works as ever. Must be a bug.
Mig cockpit appears to be a bit to small too. In former versions there was a scale setting for the rift dk1. What was it for?

no ufo flight mode with dk2 possible

You mean no mouse control in ufo flight mode with dk2? Because in rift mode the mouse is intentionally disabled, and you turn by tilting head.

Mig cockpit appears to be a bit to small too. In former versions there was a scale setting for the rift dk1. What was it for?

It was a scale from source image to Rift, it could be used to compensate stretching of pixels in the center, in exchange for shrinking the lit area at the borders, since DK1 did not utilize the display fully. It didn't alter FOV nor the perceived scale of things though.

Let me try to explain... When in Rift mode, looking around works fine, but forward movement only works in the x-axis. When you look up or down and move forward simultaenously, you still only move in the x-axis. If I encounter a hill, I move up with the terrain of that hill, but then once I'm at the top of that hill, I continue to move horizontally regardless of where I look.

Another issue I noticed (and this may be due to the 75Hz refresh_rate cfg hack), but when I start Outerra having forgot to turn the Rift on first, it (I believe) tries to set my primary monitor 1920x1080@75Hz which is doesn't support, and so the monitor shuts down. I then had to turn on the rift, hit ctrl-alt-delete and use task manager through the rift to kill the Outerra process to get my monitor back.

This probably gets resolved after supporting Direct-to-Rift mode, but in the meantime I guess there should be a check (or some other method) for making sure we send 75Hz signal only to the Rift.

[2eyed]

The head movement should be independent from flight direction in Ufo flight mode. Just looking around with head tracking via rift and steering the flight path with the mouse. Not tilting the head for ascending or descending, which btw is not what I get.

It's not working for me. Though it has changed from 1920x1080 50Hz to 1080x720 50Hz. And as far as I can see there is no 1920x1080 75Hz option in the graphics settings menu.

Oculus Rift mode does not use screen resolution settings from the resolution page. If you have "use if present" in stereoscopic settings checked, and you do not automatically get into the Rift mode, then the problem is that Oculus is not detected.

Make sure you have 0.4.2 Oculus runtime installed, and updated the firmware.
Set Rift to extended mode, rotate the screen.
If the Rift is still not detected, restart Oculus service.

Nice update! 

[Varldsligist]

Happy to report that it works great now!  Checking "override resolution" seems to have done the trick.

;D

huh... Smiley broke...

Google Map arrow still isn't aligning with vehicle cam.  ;)

Screen now locked to 75Hz nicely! UFO mode still stuck to x-axis movements in Rift though...
