Re: Assetto Corsa + Oculus Rift = I wish I had money!!
I've just tried the Oculus Rift with the new iRacing release. Wow! It's awesome.
Project Cars is very good too, although I've had the odd crash, and pCars still has annoying bugs like destroying my single player save game and resetting my career!
AC is showing great promise, and it's very close, but it's got a little way to go. Right now Rift isn't working for me at all, and I have no idea why not. I think I turned something too far down? Might have to reset my settings.
I spent some time getting rFactor 1 hooked up with Rift using VorpX, but it's (as you might expect) pretty nasty, and the head-tracking is horrific.
Funnily enough Race07 looks great even though it's only displayed on a simulated projector screen, and has no head-tracking or stereoscopic display. (I play Race07 with my father because it's easy for him to navigate, and it runs well on his old PC).
Anyway, I'm becoming more impressed the more I use it. My motion sickness is lessening as I convince my brain that it's all quite normal, and nothing to be concerned about.
I will be skipping the next rFactor season. There's only so much time to play, and flat-screen rFactor 1 can't compete with my shiny new immersive toy. The sensation of "being there", especially in an open-wheeler, is awesome.

I've managed to get assetto running ok with my 970, but without having the menus in vr it's a pain to play, and it also crashes at the end of every career race. I'm going to leave it to the next patch.
I'm loving project cars in the rift. I'm just at the end of formula rookie in my career. Love the open wheelers. A couple of things are starting to annoy me though, like the lack of control in the pits, and the kamikaze AI.. I'm not expecting anymore patches for p cars, since they have announced the sequel..
Rfactor 1 is way too long in the tooth for me. I'm hanging out for the next dirt rally patch with its promised vr support!

+1 to open wheelers. Think I'm going to get into the Skip Barber series in iRacing.

As an example, when cornering I now physically lean over the edge of the cockpit and look down at the wheel and see precisely where I'm hitting the corner. It's brilliant!kerryland wrote:There's only so much time to play, and flat-screen rFactor 1 can't compete with my shiny new immersive toy.

Don't worry. I'll shut up about it now. I'm just trying to indicate how big a change it is.
