This makes a significant improvement to the visual quality of the game and works like AA. I have mine set to 2.0 and suspect I could push that higher if wanted.
Fortunately setting up the game for use in VR is a relatively simple affair and you can do a few little tricks to help improve the visual experience. From here you can navigate (using the controller) to your game of choice.Īssetto Corsa is for me one of the best experiences a sim racer can have in Virtual Reality. You will need to click the select button on the Xbox One controller that comes with the rift (the little one of the left hand side) and this will bring up your in headset Steam menu. Once this is done you will be presented with a Steam image (blank screen in black and white).

If using SteamVR you will have to go through another very simple setup process found within SteamVR (again very simple and it's actually quite entertaining to watch) and then you are ready to get yourself into a game!īefore launching a game you will need to open up the Oculus software (which takes you to the living room looking scene) and open Steam and select Steam VR mode. Once you have installed the setup software and hit run you are informed which leads to plug into which slot (even though it's pretty obvious anyway) and tells you where to best place your sensor (I have mine on a table next to my wheel, so it faces me but is about 1 foot or so off centre).Īll that is left is to run the software that will take you through a number of steps such as informing the software if you will be seated (which for a sim racer will be yes of course) and other things such as adjusting your lens spacing on the headset (via a slider on the underside of the headset), locating the distance to the floor (putting it on the floor and pressing next) and that's pretty much it. Interestingly no specific setup instructions come with the Oculus Rift CV1, all you get is a little placard inside the lid directing you towards the Oculus setup webpage, which again is setup in a clear and easy to understand format. Things are secured neatly in the shipping box and everything you need (cables, controller, remote, wireless adapter for controller) etc are all in a nice and obvious place, offering confidence from the outset.
From the moment you open up the box it is clear that plenty of thought has gone in to ensuring significant familiarity with computers and technology is not an essential requirement for getting the headset up and running on a PC.

System RAM: 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR4-2400 RAMĪs a bit of a technology noob, I found setting up the Rift a much easier and pain free process than initially expected.
KART RACING PRO VR PC
In this piece I will attempt to share with you some idea on how easy or difficult it is to set up a number of the more prominent racing / driving simulations on PC and share some of the useful hints and tips I employ within my own setup. If you have further advice or wish to challenge any of my own experiences please let us know in the comments section at the end of the article. Please keep in mind this is a loose guide on some hints and tips from my own experience. Different manufacturers may have different processes and what works in my scenario may well not work the same for you. As requested by some of our readers, we take a closer look at what is involved in getting the most from your VR setup in racing simulations.įollowing a recent article here at RaceDepartment I've been asked by a number of our community to create a quick guide on setting up VR and my experiences with the technology in sim racing.įirst thing's first I need to let you know that this guide has been created using my experiences with the Oculus Rift CV1 on PC.
