That's neat!
I'm hoping that by the time I adopt VR, the headset will look
like a Daft Punk head gear.

So far the only plugin I use is Crew Chief. no other on screen
plugins work for DX11 yet.
And using the Rift in the race was awesome.

Chad, glad the Rift worked well for you in the race. Did you
find it better than having "look left" and "look right" buttons?
I ask because I know you are used to using those commands. When
I started, I only did a handful of races before I started using
the Rift. I hadn't even mapped the look buttons yet.
Have you set up voice commands for Crew Chief yet? I haven't,
but I think that would be the way to go so that you can ask for
gaps, tire temps, fuel left etc whenever you want without having
to break immersion to look at a "floating" display.

I found that the look left and right buttons were useless, as in
they didn't even work anymore. The look behind still works as
before. I was used to having triple screens so I rarely had to
use the look commands. I already was able to see peripherally
any cars next to me. I should find a new thing to map there...
Maybe Fuel mixture.
I have setup voice commands but I find I dont ask the right
questions or I dont ask them correctly. I typically can't get a
response back on a lot of the questions I ask such as, "What's
my time to the next car?", or "What is my lead on the following
car?" I also haven't really dedicated much time to figuring out
how to ask the questions, so some of it is on me.

I started getting two different errors.
- Power surge on the USB
- HDMI cable not detected
After researching for a few hours and thinking about trying some
of the solutions listed in various forums, I found the source of
my problems.
My cat has been chewing on the headset cord and actually severed
some of the wire strands inside!
Luckily, you can replace the cord only rather than the entire
Rift headset. Cat just cost me $50!
I'm going to take it out of his food allowance.

More proof that cats are always trying to kill their owners
(Attempting to electrocute you.)
My son has been on my headset a lot and being able to replace
the cable is a great thing. I can see my cable getting bunched
up and twisted more and more over time. I expect that I will
eventually have to replace it due to a break.
Still for anyone looking to get into VR this Rift is f'ing
amazing. Especially at the $400.00 price point. Just make sure
you have a decent system. My top end computer from 3 years ago
(FX8320 OC@ 4.0 GHz and R9 290) is barely pushing consistent
frame rates over long play sessions.
