The game makes far more sense to me now I can play it in VR. Definity the only way I'll run the game from this point on. Combined with a good wheel, pedal set and an h-shifter its a great VR experience even if its nothing fancy visually. I generally stick to off-road and crawling and that to me remains the strong-point, I don't really go in for the crashing side of the game and I'm sure it would give me a headache in VR. Just done the river crawl last night in VR and it was one of the best experiences I've had in Beamng.

Its incredible how much better of a driver I am in vr, although I was only able to try it out in a small area. On my laptop with a gtx 1050m, intel 8300h and 20gb of ram, it was *playable* on the ETK driver experience map, using an iphone 13 and VRidge as a "vr headset" (comparable to the oculus rift DK 1) on the absolute lowest settings. I suspect I have better VR legs than the average person though. It was running around 65fps before hopping into vr and 40fps in vr

@ATribeCalledCars

10 ай бұрын

40FPS is pretty low so you have strong sea legs to cope, I find I get sick around that point! But I agree, as a driver I really miss the lack of G forces and other car communication to know what a car is doing (or going to do). Being able to look through corners and in mirrors by looking is also essential. If only VR looked better, but that is just my humble opinion.

Currently, I find that the Grid Map V2 is the best map for BeamNG in VR. To me, the other maps suffer a bit too much from the VR sparkles, but not the Grid Map V2. Everything in that map is extremely fun... I really like driving the outside track loaded with traffic. Flinging cars off of the corners and smashing them into pillars at 200 mph might be a top 10 life experience!!! Be Careful with your neck!!!!!!

Seems like the BeamNG dev team has a long way to go til VR is a comfortable experience. Was hoping it would at the very least be okay on a 4070 and 5800x, but it seems that even on a 4090 it will struggle at points. Quite unfortunate, will be hoping for a better experience as it develops.

100% native high quality uncompressed video with no artifacts, latency or performance overhead. not to mention a lighter, cheaper headset without all the internal components mobile vr uses. unfortunately pcvr headsets have been neglected as mobile vr is taking over, and with facebooks monopoly there is no room for competition. its very bad for consumers. but it is what it is. at least we have the hp reverb headsets.
