    Trackmania Turbo just had VR support added for the Rift, Vive and PSVR...I imagine you would want a pretty good VR stomach for this one: http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/trackmania-turbo-vr-update/

    I expect we will see a lot of VR additions to existing titles as VR gains traction. I am hoping, like with ETS2/ATS, in some cases there will be ways to leverage existing plugins, though it is hard to say how much of a code basis franchise game share.

    Hi Noorbeast! I just purchased Trackmania Turbo. Indeed, the VR-support is awesome!! Unfortunately, the existing plug-in does not work with this Trackmania version :(. Would there be anyone who is capable of getting it to work?...

    It will likely not get attention until all plugins planned for the SimTools 2.0 release are complete.

    My pleasure, I came to motion simulation via my passion for VR, as I was exploring how to increase VR presence.

    My VR interests go back to the first coming of VR in the mid 90s, which is when I got to try the old dual player helmet style VR and mess with VRML, and my VR device collection started with the Vuzixs 920, which I had long before the DK1 emerged.

    The rest as they say is history, with the second coming of VR driving a whole lot of innovation in all sorts of fields...which it and AR will continue to do so for quite a number of years yet.

    Ah yes I understand. Any idea when Simtools 2.0 will be released? What will be new in this version? Thanks!

    Details concerning SimTools 2.0, extended functionality, licensing and prices are in this thread: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-2-0-question-and-answer.8175/

    SimTools 2.0 is about to move into Release Candidate status, but as @yobuddy has consistently said it will be released when he and testers consider it ready.
