ETS 2 in VR is amazing
SCS did an amazing job on VR implementation. I can freely say that ETS2 has one of the best VR implementations in any driving sim, period.

Also when packed with mods, and also using Buttkicker to feel every bump on the road, and engine vibrations, makes this trucking experience perfect.

Does it really work now? Last time I checked it did not even work.

Don't get people hyped up for VR. It maximizes heat from your system. It shimmers all over. Chill dont make people waste $600 just cause you are okay with it. I feel I wasted my money on VR. It is heavy and sweaty and itchy. yuck.

Haha, it is like that. It is in early stages of development. Give 5 to 10 years. However, there are games which it is even now top choice, and those are combat flight sims.

Submarine combat sim should be great too, sadly there is no such VR game.

Well,
everbody have there individuel opinions, right.
you could see VR as a hardware piece, like steering wheel. No need to have it, but it could increase the joy of playing.
Therefore if people like playing ETS2 in VR, then yeah, cool. if people using Controllers, Steering Wheel ect ... cool.
ETS2 support VR, really well. i would just not buy a VR Device just for ETS2. But if you have it laying around, why not test it, and maybe you are immersed on a new level :-).
Or maybe you are turned off, cause you cant trink your beloved cup of tea; Headset feels clumsy, while playing ETS2.

For me, ETS2 as done a great job, in implementing VR for years now, so mostly i use it.

cheers

VR is the only way to drive if you've got the machine/money to back it up with! Don't be coming at VR with your 2060.

Not sure if i catched your argument right.
But ETS2 is great in normal mode, there is no really need for VR.

Also on my "machines" there was/is always the downside, that in VR it looks not as good as on flatscreen.
The benefits is more on the feelingside, like sitting inside the truck. Thats really something.

However, if you decide to go for VR, just dont do this cause "one game".

As you pointed out, its costly. ^^

Wow chill bro. Why so serious? Not my fault that you have a sensitive face, or bought bad VR headset since it gets your face itchy for 600$. I bought my Rift S for 400$ and can wear it for hours. Also 2D now looks like playing on Nintendo Switch lol. It's not the same actually sitting inside the truck cabin vs looking at 2D image of a steering wheel, some gauge and half of windshield, yuck! It's ok if you aren't for full immersion, I totally get that, many people are for simplicity. About the resolution, well, Rift S doesn't have the greatest resolution that's for sure, but I'm so immersed in VR that I don't even notice the resolution after a minute. IT's all about being immersed, actually being there vs noticing every tiny bit of detail instead of enjoying it.
For me personally, I can't even imagine driving ETS2 without VR, it literally transformed the game for me. I couldn't even drive it anymore in 2D, I was so bored. Then I got VR, decided to try it in ETS2, and from that moment I'm in love with this trucking sim all over again. Immersion is now 3 steps above the standard setup with a monitor.

Why it shouldn't? Just select the "oculus+openVR" beta and you're ready to go. If you have Oculus headset, go with oculus runtime, with WMR headsets you must use SteamVR.

mhm, not general, it depends on your rig, and what your personal standart is.
- for me, i am quit happy with the resulolution and quality, using a Index Headset and Supersampling. The perfomance is pretty good.

But as mention allready, just from the fidelity point of view, you are a right, on a monitor ETS looks better. It comes down to personal opinion and preferences.

So the statement is/was: ETS in VR is amazing.
the simple answer: Yes, it is ...

Personally I think it looks pretty damn good with a Reverb G2. Of course you'll need a decent graphic card to run it in native resolution.
If it's a performance problem, ETS2/ATS now works with the FSR patch from fholger, too, so you may be able to crank up SS and get a better picture in VR.

Can you list your rig's spec ?

I'm on Oculus Quest 2, my rig is Ryzen 5600G with RTX 3060 Ti.
Playing with VR mode I find that feels amazing inside the truck but looking outside is blurry. All distance object looks blurry for me and that happen to everything in VR not only ETS2.. Elite Dangerous also looks like that, I tried scaling in the ETS2 option to 400% doesn't seems to have effect... you happen to know how to get rid the distance blurry problem on VR ? is there some setting I need to tweak ?

Thx b4

Well,
CPU I9 9900 @3.6GHz
64 GB @ 1500Mhz
GTX 2070 TI

starting under Directx 11
ingame Scaling at 150%
the most stuff on high.

in SteamVR i scaled also a bit. Somehow to the point, where it feels ingame a bit choppy. then a bit back to get a smooth result.

i also was changing some nvidia settings. but i cant tell you, why i changed certains things.
its really a bit time ago. there are some guides out there , i followed the instructions ^^.

- my main thing was that the lines on the road getting blurry, and that i managed to get rid off, thankfully to some wise guidiance.

Just found out fantastic combo for Quest 2, via link cable.
ETS2 runs at 60fps + ASW, 120hz mode. Smooth as hell, feels smoother than 72fps at 72hz, and smooth as 80hz too to be honest:

Settings in debug tool or OTT:
Distortion Curvature: High (more dense pixels in the center/sweetspot, means more sharper in the center.

Oculus resolution at 1.4x (48xx), 120hz. Set ASW mode to 45fps via debug tool, or create a preset in OTT.

Encoding resolution: 3648
Bitrate: 400
Sharpening: DISABLED (much more natural image with it disabled)

ETS2 resolution is at 100%, and most settings to High, except Anti-Aliasing and ambient occlusion are OFF (high fps boost). AA is practically not needed.
Super smooth at 60fps + ASW, no artifacts noticed. Super sharp visuals, can only dream about this clarity with Rift S.

Ingame scaling kills FPS too much, is not worth it. It's way better solution to increase oculus resolution by notch or two (up to 1.5x) then ingame resolution that uses bad algorithm.
