VR Support

[LionUnity]

Dear developer team! I was wondering : is there gonna be a VR support for the game?
That would be awesome!
Greeting from Hungary!

Currently there is no official VR support planned. Anyway, if you are open to experiments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COY_Pi-aV2s

Not VR - still flat screen, but with head tracking.
Truck Sim games are fantastic in VR - indeed, after playing a sim game in VR, it is very difficult go go back to a flat screen. What applies there, applies here too. It may well be worth your time looking into this, as VR is gaining real traction in the sim market, and this will only become more the case in the future. Also, VR is pretty much baked into both Unreal (which I suspect you are using here) and Unity. The market is small at the moment, but it is significant., and will be difficult to ignore in the future.

I will add my voice to this.
I considered buying the game, but dropped it when I figured out there's no VR support. And no, IR tracking isn't the same.

As someone who has just recently got into VR and can't play ETS2 flat screen ever again because of it, I would love to try out the experiment.

However does BS21 have any VR mode confirmed or in the pipeline?

Bus Simulator 21 will support Track IR again...currently there is no VR support planned.

That's a disappointment if I am honest, would the trick mention above work for 21 would you think? I didn't want to go through all that if 21 supported VR out the box.

Honestly there is no Bus sim that supports VR yet..If this would be the first dev to put VR to their next game..welp insta buy..playing this with Track IR is nice but VR would be so much more immersive.

Also just to say that VR mode that was mentioned is a waste of time and effort.

Its just playing a virtual screen with "track ir" the problem is that although it does work, you don't get any other immersion, in fact it is worse than track IR as VR headsets don't have full panaramic views, so you turn your head to the right but you can't see the "screen" because the lens of the headset won't show it.

I will be buying this game anyway, but after playing ETS2 in VR with a steering wheel, it really has blown my mind, and made me realise how much VR helps with the gameplay. You do get "lost" into it all.

I would even be willing to pay for a VR DLC if it gives me the full blown experience.

Bought Bus Simulator 21 in hopes of VR support but refunded it since it didn't have it. Even if it would be bus only (no walking) I feel that VR would more than make up for it.

I'm also an ets2 VR player and can never go back to flat screen. Shame, cause Bus Simulator is such a good game.

I know it's about 10 months later from your posting date, but I've been playing BS18 in VR for the past few days, and it's awesome. There's a new Unreal Engine VR injector mod that works with almost any Unreal Engine 4 or 5 game, that includes both BS 18 & 21. It takes a few steps to get the mod working properly, but once you do, it works great. Here's a link to the mod's site, that has training videos on how to use the mod and also a link to Praydog's site where you can download the injector. :)
