BeamNG VR?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, sorry if it is not.

As the tittle would suggest, I was wondering if BeamNG might be in vr some day, or if someone knows of a mod that already exist, i could not get vorpx to work right. But i think this would be an amazing game for vr, crashing in first person in slow motion at ridiculous speeds sounds fun to me, not only that, but doing the missions, racing anything in this game vr would be amazing, and would be a massive great step for this game to take, to support vr. I wanna know what others think, if you play vr do you think this game would be a great addition to your vr library? I know i would.

 

I think the game used to have VR support a long time ago, but it was removed because of technical issues.

 

Thankyou guys for such an awesome game!

 

Im really disappointed that this isnt planned in the near future.

I really used to enjoy this game and would love to continue playing it, but after switching to vr i find it difficult to enjoy driving on a screen at all - im sure many other simracing enthusiasts feel the same way.

 

VR would be very cool. But currently, even the in game camera is having issues. With the VR cam, I can imagine it would be like the Driver cam, but at the moment, the driver cam is a static camera piece that will stay where it is. No matter what. It doesn't matter if you hit a wall at 140 MP/h in your Bruckell Drag Monster. The camera will not move, but you will appear to go through the crumpled aluminium in front of you. I don't know if that's a bug, or if there's no other practical way to make an in game camera. But that should give you an idea of what would happen.

 

The camera stays above the driver's seat at all times. I don't know how you don't consider that "fixed." I guess the single node could move a bit, but other than that the camera sits in one spot.

 

As Nadeox1 just explained, the game needs to render two separate viewports at once over each eye in order to make VR work. However, it also needs to achieve a certain target framerate in order to not cause motion sickness. The target framerate in question is 90 FPS. 50% more than 60 FPS!

Two viewports + 90FPS minimum = very difficult at this point.

 

Yes, that is true. I know that's true.

Naedox said it won't work.

 

Did anything change on the plans to implement VR support?
Since all headsets are working properly with reprojection it should be the big thing in terms of computer performance. But I'm sure you developers can estimate it best... but playing the mini games or just trying to survive in the car on the open world map... making crashes in slow motion while sitting in the car... oh man that would be soooo awesome! There are only pure racing simulators out at the moment what could bring something very new to us VR games if beamNG would beamVR

 

Well... you gotta remember that another reason not much is going into this is because VR would be for a very small group of people who both have a VR headset (I have only ever used one... never owned one though) and have a powerful enough machine to run it. At the moment, that is a very small part of the fanbase, so doing development work right now in such a small area would almost be kind of a waste... I would prefer they wait until they have most of the game done (so like... cars, maps, career mode, other more important features... so on and so forth) before they would start work on any VR aspect of things.

I mean... don't get me wrong... if Nadeox1 came down here and was like "we are releasing it tomorrow actually" I would be very happy and want a VR headset even more... but I highly doubt that they are focusing on it right now.
