Playing in VR without wheel

[FiRAAZ]

Hey guys.

I'm interested into F1 but i don't want to buy a wheel for 400€ so i would like to know if this is playable in VR, with a gamepad or using quest 2 pads.

Thanks in advance.

Perfectly playable with a game pad in VR.

Obviously you will have a much more immersive experience with a Wheel/pedals.

If you enjoy the game with a game pad, you could always keep an eye out for a used wheel and pedals on facebook marketplace or whatever classifieds you have in your country.

Don't pay 400 then, just pay around 200 for a Logitech.

But it is playable with a gamepad thou you should turn on more than a few assists for gamepads, like traction control at least.

Ironically I get better performance using a game pad !! Massive performance downgrade just having my steering wheel and pedals plugged in.. crazy

Do you have the pedals of your setup plugged in your computer directly or it's plugged in the wheel? Because if the pedals are plugged in your computer directly, theres your problem, I know it's dumb but I've seen multiple reports that having two "input device" plugged in at the same time cause problem with the game.

Also, to awnswer OP. I recently bought a thrustmaster t150 in great condition for 125$ usd off a craiglist-like website specificly to play f1 22 in VR, and it is SOOO much better than a gamepad for me, i love it. Just wish the game was more stable :\

Game is perfectly playable in VR with a controller. That said, I use a wheel and sim rig. Yay me. I think you might run into problems if you move around a lot. If you keep the controller still or anchor it, you might have an easier time.

Probably no big deal but if you find yourself getting disoriented controller versus in VR car movement might be the cause.

VR with a controller is not something I would advise.Whenever I've used a controller in VR sim racing(usually when i'm just testing gfx settings)I find I get nausea pretty rapidly.
It's as if without the wheels and pedals there to help convince my brain I'm in an actual car I get motion sickness.

Maybe this is unique to myself though.

I tried with a controller and felt sick too. You can pick an old wheel on the cheap. But buying a good one is an investment if you play other driving games in VR. F1 22 is not even near the best right now. I would not buy a wheel just to play this game in VR, given it’s VR is a little bit broken in terms patch breaking performance.
