My First Time Using VR in Assetto Corsa!

Unboxing my Valve Index VR complete set and then testing out drifting and Shutoku driving in Assetto Corsa. Will be doing CarX and BeamNG in VR soon as well.

UPDATE: VR died on 2nd day, so no more VR content until I get some parts replaced.

Graphics card: RTX 4080
Processor: i9-13900K
RAM: 64GB
Disc Space: 2000GB SSD

Question of the day: *What is the best game to play with VR?*

[saeber]

Hey Goosy! I've been a VR exclusively gamer for about 5 years now. I started in flight sims like DCS. Recently got a Moza R5 bundle for some racing too and am loving it. What I can say is I also got motion sick at the start. The key is to stop once you feel too uncomfortable, and not to try and "push through", that won't build tolerance, at least not as quickly. Some people also say that putting a fan on you to give a sense of direction, but your head isn't really moving that much in a car compared to other stuff like a VR shooter. All in all I'm a much better driver in VR than I am on flat

Hey, about training out motion sickness. I am someone who gets really really bad motion sickness in real life (as a passenger), and for me it took 3-4 sessions in VR to get used to the feel and I can drive hours now with no issues. I would recommend it in smaller doses at first. In fact I can't really play on a monitor anymore as it's no fun for me (ultrawide 34"), especially for drifting as I can't look into apexes. Maybe triples would help but it's not feasible for me at home.

Just FYI I get really bad motion sickness in VR when there is movement I am not controlling (e.g. a moving platform with analogue sticks/just a moving platform in an autoscroller), but never any where the movement is teleport based/actual physical movement in the room. I would suggest some other games where you have only 1:1 body movement to the 3D space to get used to the VR feel (and they are great fun), and then you'll probably have no trouble with assetto later down the road. Enjoy :)

One more thing to help with VR sickness is to make sure the game is running at the highest possible frame rate. VR FPS is recommended to be around 90 FPS. 60FPS and lower will introduce motion sickness. Run the Benchmark in Content Manager (If you use that) to make sure your graphics setting are correct for you to get as close to 90fps (Or More) as possible! The index's max refresh rate is 144hz! So push it if you can!

The biggest shame of VR is that racing games with a wheel are probably the current peak of the medium. Once you experience it you start to view everything else differently. The 1 to 1 feeling makes the regular VR controllers not feel as good. You can go back to monitor without much issue, but you never forget how it felt.

petition for goose to do beamng in vr... And you just have to get use to everything moving in vr and then in a week or so your motion sickness will go

[beeguy_vr]

5:12 yes you can! well sometimes, all my friends that had a vr headset had motion sickness, and you just need to start with less intense games and work your way up! then you can train and feel fine :)

This was so much fun!! Can’t wait for more vr content. Also goose please extend the video a little bit 😅

Playing vr in gran turismo. I agree with the sense of speed and how well you can tell braking zones. It's so much easier, honestly so glad I don't get motion sick. The 6 hour sessions probably helped lol

[nolanpainter]

A tip for vr is to breath when driving just breath like deep bc it’s going to be scary breath your going to be sick but over time while playing you’ll get better trust just go easy at first

[vipersnakegamer]

Don’t worry! You lose the motion sickness and feeling in your stomach pretty fast, you just have to give your brain time to process this new experience. Playing vr for over 5 years I’ve actually kind of missed that weird feeling in my stomach, as strange as it was, it was immersive to feel what was happening in game. It’s similar to phantom sense when someone loses a limb and lasts around up to 10 hours in my experience.

The problem i think from this.

That it masses up with how you automatically avoid crash in real life
Because you got used to it in VR a lot.

"Hello, make sure you subscribe" funniest of all😂

I would like to see a 420 thousand hp supra going down a straight line that goes infinitely and the supra goes like 10000 km an hr

Other than to make sure you maintain 90++fps in VR another thing that really helps me with motion sickness is adding bass shaker to your setup. Driving in VR without feeling any rumbling feels very weird to me, my brain can't really process it so it turn into motion sickness.

You are the best sim racer drifter gosiest

Welcome to the vr side of assetto!! Been doing it for over 2 years and it's one of the best experiences out there!!

1. If you have a fan, point it towards you when you're in VR, it will give you a sense of direction and will help you reduce motion sickness.
2. If you feel kind of floaty or weird, it's most likely just your eyes trying to adjust between real depth perception and the fake depth perception the headset is trying to simulate. You might see like some screens are kind of floating (for example the one on your phone or monitor), and it goes away in a day or two.
3. Specifically for AC content manager. if you're like me and you save replays and record them to edit or view later, think about having two separate video presets: one for vr performance and one for flatscreen quality. Saves you the hassle of messing around with video settings all the time whenever switching.
4. Don't try to push through motion sickness, it can just make things worse and leave you feeling awful. Take frequent breaks and you'll get used to it eventually

awesome video as always

Number one thing i would suggest with the index is getting your IPD (Interpupillary distance) perfect on the headset that will help a lot with motion sickness. This is the little slider on the bottom right side which will pop up with a number in the headset then adjust until you see as little to no blur / pixelization, but also it will take time to get used to the feeling of being in vr. Also be careful with the parts on the index. cable, controllers, back of headstrap to be exact, those are the main weak points it has, other than that enjoy the new experience.

Me too - been using VR for over 2 years now - just got the driving wheel and getting into Assetto Corsa 555
