I just got the Formula X-17 and man is the sound magic, the only problem I have now is that I have an abscess in one of my front teeth so I can't wear the HMD atm and man trying to go back to racing without the Oculus is rubbish, I urged anyone that is on the fence about getting an HMD to get one now while they are reduced you won't regret it.

DaVinster said:I agree totally. I paid big money for F1-2010 when it first came out. My scenario is a little different as I had eyefinity mounted to a motion sim. I mean back when three screen gaming was fairly new. It was mind blowing to have the 'through the windshield' effect. I bought all the F1 Series up until I got my Dk2. Off came the screens! You just cannot describe to someone who has never experienced it what it feels like to 'sit' in a car in VR. Now add motion.. u get the drift 😉
My budget shifted almost entirely to VR titles, especially anything that supported racing. Early days of VR support in titles that later dropped it, which is a shame.. but then project cars, AC, dirt rally and iRacing came out with CV1 support and I moved on.
The sad thing is a haven't had a virtual reality F1 experience on par with the Codies series. I won't purchase D4 or any other racing sim without VR support. Especially painful since codemasters did such an excellent job at implementation in Dirt Rally. Different gaming engine or not, knowledge from what they learned (beyond the technical) on how to implement good VR will be lost.
The STATS are in and VR is far from dead and growing. Big players have recently stepped up to invest big $$ in VR/AR so it's not like it won't be worth the investment.Hi,
did you try Raceroom Racing Experience with the Formula X-17 cars? It's the closest you can get to an F1 experience in VR. The sound will blow your mind! Physics, AI and graphics are top.

With no VR support for Dirt 4, after implementing it well in Dirt Rally, shows where they stand. All that VR knowledge gone in a puff of smoke. A veritable slap in the face for us VR folk. Dirt 4 has been on sale at a deep discount since release and I still won't buy it. I vote with my wallet and I support titles and studios who support VR. Sorry Codies.. PCars2 will be my next purchase with monies I was going to give you. I'll not purchase or support anything else you publish.

I've stopped myself buying the F1 games... not so much because of lack of VR, just that I never play them enough to get good at it. My favourite has always been Grand Prix Legends, that's how long I've been trying to get good! and even with that I'm only good on half the circuits.
Absolutely love pCARS & pCARS 2 in VR... but still like the occasional bit of monitor racing too and have all the DiRTs.

Oh man, GPL was the absolute best in my book, I had many hours with that sim. It was truly groundbreaking for it's day, I sure miss those days of Papyrus.
You may be interested in a project I was doing to convert GPL tracks into Assetto Corsa.....
This is Rouen Les Essarts, my favourite track. It's completely racable in Assetto Corsa now but I haven't converted all the scenery and the AC graphics engine makes for some very high contrast scenes when you use the original solid tree scenery. The track surface has to be created from scratch, the tools you can get don't allow for that to be converted because of copyright issues I believe so it takes ages to do.
....but it's fun to drive GPL in VR !!
