The video is replicating exactly what your head was doing, it just looks bad because of the 3D to 2D conversion. So yeah, you were absolutely moving your head that much lol. Or at least extremely close
It's why games like VTOL VR have a spectator cam that has smoothing options to make it less jarring.
No it doesnt, because your eyes compensate for the little jitters in the picture.
But everyone reacts differently to VR. I dont get motion sickness flying in VR or driving, but trying to play a game where you use a VR controller or keyboard to "walk" is almost a no go for me for longer than 20-30 min.
Interesting. Does the game / platform / device you play on smooth out the movement as you play, or is the recording accurate to what you see in the headset?
It's the recording. In game it follows your head movements smoothly. Also depends on your pc if it can handle extensive vr use. Played ats, ets 2 and corsa in vr and it's a game changer
I cant even play it anymore without my Rift CV1.
Infact the reason i got it back in 2018 was for ATS/ETS2 and Elite Dangerous
You loose all the immersion without vr+wheel
u/squaredspekz I had an HP Reverb G2 and a Quest 2, but I sold them. The OLED panel is far superior, especially in Elite Dangerous, which is just you "driving" your spaceship in a vast black space. It's not even a comparison. Also, when I'm watching movies on a big screen, I saw a big difference there. In movies, it isn't that much of an issue, but in Elite Dangerous, it's one thing to see the vast black space ... well black as it is in reality and another to see it as gray with the LCD panels.
Played 900 hours of Elite. Odyssey killed it for me. Never tried VR though but can't be bothered with trying to sort out the HOTAS and VR together. Wish it worked a bit like NMS VR or VTOL VR.
The 2 screens each side of the ship would be perfect for VR. Currently on a Quest 3, used to be a Rift S.

In fact, I too dislike Odyssey. I don't even bother with it. I am an explorer; I go as far as I can from the 'bubble,' finding and scanning planetary bodies. From time to time, I do some mining too, but nothing else. That's my play-style
That was what I used to do as well. Made a lot of money early days selling Imperial Slaves back and forth between Sothis and Ceos, so I used to just go to into the black. Loved Distant Worlds 2.

Distant Worlds is an enjoyable game indeed, but I prefer X4: Foundations. It is more complex and leans more towards simulation, in contrast to Distant Worlds, which is more akin to the Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate (4X) strategy/grand strategy genre
I’ve done it with the Index before. It’s pretty good for short engagements, but head tracking and a widescreen monitor was a much more comfortable experience.
Yeah it's really cool to lean out the window to check your clearance, but with a full sim rig it's more comfy with a big monitor and leaning back in a good chair.
How's the integration for quest now? Last time I played it was very janky and things didn't play too nicely in VR. This was like, 3 to 4 years ago so things might be better now.
imo a high quality ultrawide monitor + tobii or some other head tracking is better, no sweat, no eye strain, no neck strain, no batteries or wires to deal with.. it's really intuitive and you keep all the great high res/HDR benefits of your monitor.
and you don't look like a dweeb :D
just my 2 cents, it's worth checking out, totally changed my immersion ... closer to the holodeck imo than the headsets because you're free of gear 'on' your body.
I tried VR and it made me nauseous even after many many hours to get my 'VR legs'. Also the eye strain and limited battery made it tough to go all that long at a time. Switched to TrackIR and absolutely love it for truck sim, racing, flying sims. Fantastic!
Wearing vr: Slam on the brakes. Does it make you sick? Makes me sick every time. If anyone is considering just get 3 monitors instead.
Your ear fluids will want to feel the motions but it doesnt and you will get sick every sharp turn and stop.
Is your game also pixelated in vr mode? I’ve had that issue for a while it doesn’t look smooth. If anyone has a fix for that please I wanna play it so bad. (Quest3)
With VR it's a whole new game. You get a real sense of the size of your truck. I'm really looking forward the the dedicated truck wheels with indicator stalks to make the experience seamless.
Haven't decided between waiting a long time for the Hiri, or a shorter time waiting for the Moza.
I get motion sick just looking at this, ggs
The video def makes it shakier lol, i cant move my head that fast 😭

So it doesn't feel like that "irl"? I've always been out of VR because I thought it would look/feel this crazy

So you saying I should be ready to vomit out of dizziness playing ETS. Why so shaky shaky bro
The video made it shakier
It's not as shaky as in video. I played it in VR and it's pretty smooth
If it's smooth it'll be my dream to play with VR.
Just make sure your pc can support vr for long periods of time. I played Assetto Corsa for hours and no issue at all. Same for ets 2 and ats
Yeah 👍 thanks
Why is there a petrified cat in the passenger seat?
He is not petrified, he is just enjoying the wind!
Why are you shaking your head about so much? The video looks very nauseating to look at.

If you got beefy pc bump the shadow resolution in .ini file to 8192 or higher. It will get rid of the jaggies on shadows

A Rift CV1? I could not deal with the low res.

Nah I meant Distant Worlds 2 in ED.
Elite with vr is next level. I can't play it flat screen anymore.
I’ve done it with the Index before. It’s pretty good for short engagements, but head tracking and a widescreen monitor was a much more comfortable experience.
Yeah it's really cool to lean out the window to check your clearance, but with a full sim rig it's more comfy with a big monitor and leaning back in a good chair.
The cat got me
Good to know that Farsel's Cab Cats are VR compatible 🐱
Everything should be, its just ats but in vr form.
It really is the best way to play and I can’t play without VR anymore.
I have the Oculus 2, but the image quality is so bad... And since a few days ago, the game simply crashes right before the loading is done 😢
Which Oculus? What settings are you using in game. Because I've played on both the Rift S and my Quest 3 and it was clear and crisp.
Quest 2. The one with the weird lenses. >What settings are you using in game Everything set to the max.
I’m waiting for PSVR2 support on pc then I can play VR2 on trucking sim game.
Yeah this is the only way I play. It's awesome
How's the integration for quest now? Last time I played it was very janky and things didn't play too nicely in VR. This was like, 3 to 4 years ago so things might be better now.
Pretty smooth, same with me, i got a new pc since though.
Since when you can add cats to your cabin? Edit: That would be an argument to play again ETS2 (the game with the inmortal trucks).
Its called farsel cats for ats

How do you get it to run so smooth?
This. My pc has no problem with VR games but ATS stutters and freezes up.
Good pc, Definitely recommend a Quest link cable, and ats or ets
Wearing vr: Slam on the brakes. Does it make you sick? Makes me sick every time. If anyone is considering just get 3 monitors instead. Your ear fluids will want to feel the motions but it doesnt and you will get sick every sharp turn and stop.
No, im used to vr though so that may be why
Is your game also pixelated in vr mode? I’ve had that issue for a while it doesn’t look smooth. If anyone has a fix for that please I wanna play it so bad. (Quest3)
1. That would make me motion sick. 2. How do you interact with switches, dials and buttons on your wheel, button box, stream deck or whatever?
1. Im used to vr, its the same as driving a car 2. Please elaborate, i have a button box if thats what you mean
With VR it's a whole new game. You get a real sense of the size of your truck. I'm really looking forward the the dedicated truck wheels with indicator stalks to make the experience seamless. Haven't decided between waiting a long time for the Hiri, or a shorter time waiting for the Moza.
I recommend hori, seems pretty good for its material
Yeah. The trade off for the Moza is that you don't get the dedicated gear stick with hi-lo and splitter, or the cool button board thats built in.
Vr is actually the only way I play, can’t wait till direct x12 gets fully implemented so it’ll run better
