In flatscreen open-world gaming there's a bit of your brain that has to interpret and "fabricate" visual effects to maintain your immersion, but in VR with totally natural head movement and eye position and true 3d, that effort vanishes and you're just there. So much more immersive than flatscreen, hardly comparable. I just took a quick bike around the block and it was fantastic. Pedalling through ETS2-land in VR is just freakin' amazing. ETS2 running in VR with my custom bike controller. could be a hit in VR, but SCS is not heavily into supporting VR (yet) so us pioneer users are gonna have to figure it out first :-) This is one of the biggest virtual worlds out there, with incredible user-contributed maps, great community. Gonna have another go today & will report. I suppose this might be a VD problem, I could try it with Link instead. The ETS2 garage music would sometimes come through but I never got all the way to the garage environment and main menu. Ended up in this weird overlay limbo with the VD home space (circular grid with distant mountains and northern lights thing) showing through behind the ETS red glow horizon and the Waiting popup. I could ESC back into the running game, but could not ESC back out to main menu. Got stuck with a popup that said "Waiting." and that was it, never recovered. I hit ESC and could not escape from game.


So I started doing some remap for really basic driving using this setup, just to see how well or poorly it ran.īut after several iterations of escaping to menu, mapping a few kbrd keys or gamepad buttons, rinse, repeat. And I had a spare gamepad which I can operate by touch. In my initial test run I could find the ESC key on the kbrd blind, so as to get into the setup menus and I can use the mouse blind. My custom ETS2 controller (long story, it's a wired bicycle on a training stand so I can bike my way through ETS and ATS) has a touchscreen so that's even worse, not even any keys to grope around :-) Console commands obviously mean a lot of peeking :-) Trying to peek under the visor without making the headset disconnect is a bit of an art, I find :-) Some keys on the kbrd I can find blind, others are much harder. When you say easy to set up, what setup are you using? did you do all your controller/kbrd setup in flatscreen and then restart in VR and select that profile? or just "peek" now and then as needed? Are you using a wheel/pedals so familiar that you know all the buttons by heart?
