EXPERIMENTAL: Virtual Reality

BeamNG Drive team, you made my dream come true. The VR update is wonderful, and worked pretty much right out of the box with my Acer Predator laptop (i7/RTX3060/Quest2). Sure there were a couple of glitches, but my oh my, I played BeamNG Drive in VR last night...and it wasn't a dream. Driving the pickup truck down the Car Jump Ramp was unbelievably awesome, and I can't wait to dig in to more scenarios. West Coast didn't launch well in VR and that's to be expected, it's huge (and awesome). I did some less demanding maps and had great fun. I'm going to try it on my desktop later, which has better specs than my laptop (i9/RTX3080/Rift S). Hoping that Johnson Valley loads up for some VR dune jumping. Thanks again to the BeamNG Drive team, for making this one of the finest video games in history.

UPDATE: I tried it on my desktop and had a demo derby on the figure 8 at Hirochi Raceway, with a full complement of AI cars, the performance was superb!! Smashing up cars in VR is totally visceral. What a great update!!!!!

ANOTHER UPDATE: So I had this issue when spawning into a new freeroam, where my apparent position was far underground, but I could feel the force feedback of my poor vehicle falling down a hill. At first I thought it was a bug, but CTRL+NUMPAD5 to reset the view solves it. I set lighting to "Lowest" and the flickering shadows stopped. Took the Autobello Picolina Baja Bug for a spin in Utah, very smooth and good performance, and all the textures loaded! Also I use Logitech FF steering, and it has functioned perfectly. I must say you folks have done some tremendous work on a feature that "couldn't be done". Kudos to the BeamNG team!!!! You are the music makers, and the dreamers of dreams.

 

Hello and thanks alot for the VR development! Im having a blast in VR!
I just wanted to report a wierd visual bug with using "between eyes" display on screen.
Im using Oculus Rift S and the problem is that the camera goes off center (not inside headset) while going sideways it seems. When using OculusMirror.exe to display whats inside the VR its no problem.
Here is a private video to show the problem:


And again thanks alot for your beautiful work! Its amazing how you get all these features even people saying its impossible! Say thank you to your team! <3

This also works for me
I've gone from all settings on low to all settings on normal, and lighting on lowest.. fps seems to have increased, and more importantly, i've finally been able to cruise around utah without crashing!

Having a blast <3

 

all Pimax headsets have 10 degrees of canting per eye

 

It's EPIC isn't it!!! 4x4ing now in VR is just next level, I absolutely love it.

 

Something about my configuration is causing these crashes pretty reliably. Turning the lighting to lowest allows me to drive around for a while, though it's still prone to frequent hangs, seemingly particularly in menus.

I have also seen one instance of crazy tearing between two different frames coming from a loading screen, like the loading screen was overriding the same buffer the game was rending to or something. Sadly I didn't think to get a screenshot, I'll try to get one if it happens again.

Support ID is 164454

 

0.4.4, the latest one

 

Worked great since release then suddently i get like blurry water like movement in the game only through my quest 2 in airlink. My monitor show the game fine and all my other game work perfect via airlink.

And now after trying for like 20 time to fix it. Beam Ng doesnt start after pressing either vulkan or DX Uninstalled and reinstalled and even did a file checkup on steam and nothing,
Am lost haha

 

I love the VR mode but honestly to me it's not in a playable state. My game never crashed when I was playing however ANYTHING I do sinks my FPS for no reason.
- Opening the graphics menu -> Sinks my FPS to 10
- Changing car -> Sometimes it works fine and sometimes it sinks my FPS
- Disabling VR mode -> My game FPS are less than 30 and don't come back
- Using Oculus software -> Sinks my FPS
- Enabling VR mode -> I have 2/3 chance that my FPS will be less than 20

But the annoying thing is that when it works, it works extremely well and I have 60 fps even with everything on high

 

Is there a way to fix the GPS appearing in only 1 eye yet?
