VR Support

[MOC]

I have been looking at comments on here about VR support and it would be interesting to understand how many people would buy this over other sims if it had VR support?

DTG are resisting VR and I think they will get left behind. When you look at Derail Valley the many VR flight sims it makes it very difficult to contemplate buying a '2D' sim.

I would be happy to go on the VR journey with the devs like we have with Flight Sim 2020. (It was awful when they added VR in Dec 20 but has vastly improved and the most recent update makes it the perfect VR experience)

I would be interested to know what others think?

Oh yes, I want to see that! Unfortunately I don't think it will be possible. I hope I`m wrong.

Same here, very much looking forward to VR. I've enjoyed Derail Valley in VR but I'd also really like to have a realistic sim support VR and clearly Dovetail have totally dropped the ball on that front

Dovetail TSW is all about cashing in on DLC . I have not had anything to do with that Developer since I and many others were kicked off their forums back in the Train sim days.
spent most of passing years playing Zusi 3 and an free Polish train sim machine , this looks like a much more polished version of that game.

Only did a quick test of the demo seems like a good sim in the same vain as Zusi with a more in depth train control system and Signals like Zusi but with better graphics .

I can not speak for how close this is to Polish train operations both in safety systems and signals took me a while to grasp the German systems in Zusi .

but this seems to have the same depth on the Sim side so far .

Well, if you want a comment, here’s mine.

Personally, I think compatibility with lower-end machines is more important than VR support and more people would buy it for the former than for the latter.

Now, I’m not saying this game has to run at 60 fps on ten year old cheap laptops. But, say, 30 fps at 1280×720 on a mobile Ice Lake or Zen 2 APU would be a reasonable target. Unfortunately, the original demo does not come close to reaching this. The devs have said that they’ve been optimising, but since we’re all still waiting for the promised updated demo, I can’t judge how far they’ve come with that. In any case, if the demo update comes out and it’s still unplayable on my laptop even with reduced resolution and lowest graphics settings, then that’s a deal-breaker for me. I’d much rather buy Zusi 3 then.

However, I think I understand your worries. If you have VR hardware, you want to be able to make use of it and you’re disappointed when you can’t. And that’s not an unreasonable concern. Since the devs seem to value community feedback, VR support is likely to be implemented if the demand in the community is high enough. Whether that will be before the offical release or afterwards, who knows.

Whilst I understand it is great for games to be working on older/less powerful machines, I see this coming up too often as an excuse not to have VR which I dont think is fair when gaming is naturally moving forward, adopting new graphic tech including VR. I'm not sure if its a demographic that holds this opinion more but there is a lot of people, like me, who are itching for a train sim VR experience. Derail Valley is great but its more sandbox/arcade at the moment. It would also bring new players who already have VR into what is already a niche market, it could help put these kinds of sims on the market.

+1 , I specifically do not purchase many games that are not in VR
