i play internal view locked to pilot, and all other 'gizmo' is set to 'off'. amazing ****, especially zone mode is porno. what did the trick for me, was to change from d-pad to stick. works wonders in VR. i immediately broke my PBs with my first try on 'metro park' and 'sol', 'empire climb' and 'altima' will be next.

sorry, I meant lock to track, the ship cockpit tilts with this making it a bit better,
i though it was the other way around, unless my game is glitching. In this mode I was 2 tenths faster per lap easily as well. Ill change my settings n the thread

Omg, i thought it was just me! I feel like i have much better control over all than non vr. Lines are a little harder to maintain but I'm getting much better over all control i feel.Originally Posted by JFthebestJan
Personally, i think they nailed the adjustments too. I was worried at first it would put vr players at a disadvantage like was the case with the vita crossplay, but i feel like i can race in vr just as well as with out.

Once you get to grips with it, I feel that VR actually gives you an advantage. Yesterday I wanted to find out how I compare against my non-VR self and did speed laps on my favorite and best track, Subway. After 3 laps I beat my previous record. So that pretty much says it all.
There are some bits though which I feel are harder in VR, like the shortcut on Sol, which is hard to hit in VR because you can‘t see the track below you once you are airborne.

I am not yet familiar with the 2048 tracks, and spent some time tonight playing multiplayer.
it's amusing to me that subway is your favourite - it's the first track in the game that's had me yelling obscenities... the number of times I ploughed straight into the signs that indicate a fork in the track...

Some tracks seem easier to get to grips in VR mode than others.
As you mentioned, once up in the air, it's a guesstimate at best where you are going to land...... I tried Chenghou forward at Phantom speed V's Elite....wasn't fun..bouncing around the long banked left turn and not being able to see where the mines and Bomb that I was getting the Audio alert about led to my quick demise.
I haven't been able to play in VR mode as much as I would like, despite trying, only because incessant heat here in Sydney [It supposed to be Autumn, enough with the 30c+ Temps already ] my VR helmet either steams up, or I get beads of sweat on the lenses, either way I can't see where I'm going......I've also given up trying to wear specs under the VR helmet, partially because they steam up as well, and they are just too uncomfortable to wear under the helmet.
I think when my helmet is out of warranty I might mod it with a sort of mesh instead of the vinyl padding that sits against your forehead, get some airflow happening, likewise change the rubber around the bridge of the nose piece with some Black material.....the Helmet is just a sweat box if you live in a hot humid climate.

I'm getting the hang - stomach-wise - of the "soft" settings with locked to track. So I may try the real deal later. Issue is just that I generally am not having a lot of time. Being in Formula Student and being, well, a student...

Actually I've been curious about something.
For those of you that don't get sick (myself included) do you use the cockpit view or the pilot view? I really love the realism of the pilot view, but I can't do things like chain rolls together. Does anyone else use cockpit view for the same reason?
Zone Pilot
I don't get sick on cockpit view at all - I can play for hours at a time... but on pilot I feel queasy after just one race.
I wouldn't be surprised if this more indicative of my lack of skill, but my ability as a pilot seems to be unaffected by which of those I use. I just feel like crap after racing in pilot view.
