    I remember that stewart platform set from the Dream "He loves you not" video in the 1990s....

    Edit: It actually rolls 360 degrees as well.

    Ciao a tutti, c'è qualcuno che ha testato un Oculus Rift CV1 con giochi come Assetto Corsa ed una piattaforma dinamica? Sto cercando di capire se è o meno una buona scelta da affiancare al simulatore che sto cercando di costruire.
    Ciao e grazie.


    Hello, is there anyone who has tested an Oculus Rift CV1 with games like Assetto Corsa and a dynamic platform ? I'm trying to figure out whether or not it is a good choice to be attached to the simulator I am trying to build. Ciao

    The CV1 is on pre-order.

    Assetto Corsa is great in VR but it does not currently support the latest Oculus runtime and VR menu have not been created for many settings. So it is great for a VR experience on a motion simulator, like going fast around Nordschliefe, but not for competitive game play where you need access to the tuning and other menus.

    LFS, Dirt Rally, Project Cars and Iracing have more complete VR implementation. There are other racing games that do as well.

    Generally VR needs less axis movement and the movement needs to be fast and accurate for best results.

    In my view VR and motion simulation are awesome together, both complement each other and it is a totally different experience to playing on screens.

    Seriously bro? You really think this is the first place you would hear it from? No one knows yet and everyone will know within 10 minutes of it happening. Reddit / Oculus...done

    KS backers are getting order confirmations, seems like Oculus is charging them to themselves, which of course makes them free.

    The preparation has began...kind of.

    Looks like Kunos isn't going to make it to launch with Assetto Corsa. War Thunder is also going to be late.

    Anyway, nice line up.

    I got caught up in the previous DK2 pre-order shipping delays to Australia, which took months, so I will celebrate once the CV1 Rift actually lands on my doorstep.

    I am expecting my Vive won't be far off shipping either.

    It is exciting times for VR enthusiasts.
