    In virtual reality there is no way to get all the cars on board on the track, the labels are the same, they are still not seen, neither the old nor the new user interface.

    I've finally found the answer to a good VR experience in Rfactor2. An Nvidia RTX 3080 combined with a Ryzen 5800x. As smooth as butter!

    I think that the previous generation Ryzen CPU isn't so good with VR when compared to Intel. Even with an RTX3080 it would still judder occasionally. The latest Ryzen offering has made a huge difference for me.

    Hello, I have gone from the old build to the new one and the open composite gives me this error. Before it worked fine. How can I solve it?

    You could use the full release of OpenComposite, with the issue that the game will crash every time you change a track.
    https://gitlab.com/znixian/OpenOVR/blob/master/README.md

    Here you can download the steam_api64.dll and replace the one in your rFactor 2\Bin64 folder

    Does anyone know a way to increase brightness in VR? The cars (specially GT3s) are too dark.

    Hello. I am a first time VR user and I am confused about how to change graphic options. The only way I can get VR working in rF2 is to (I have a G2) is to open WMR, then open rF2 from Steam. If I try to make a graphical change it crashes back to the SteamVR home screen. Do I have make my graphic changes in Non VR rf2 first?

    Can someone tell me how to disable VR? I want to tinker on my monitor.

    Was surprised yesterday to see my rF2 shortcut send me directly into the game in my HMD without the usual launcher screen coming up on my monitor first. Fumbled around in the new UI, did an online race and exited. Now today I'm realizing a problem with that launch sequence. That is, I can't choose initially to play on my monitor instead of in VR. I need access to that button that selects or disables VR. (Preferably showing on the monitor before the game launches in VR.) So as it is, I put on my HMD and wandered around the UI for several minutes before giving up on finding it.

    I had the same issue. I was told to launch RF2 from within your Steam library. When you do that, you get the option to reconfigure graphics and you can turn off VR there.

    And you can set it to HMD/Mirror and you will have the game on your monitor as well as running in your HMD.
    So you can do all your setup there and only put your HMD on when on track. much better.

    Is there some kind of summary guide/documentation that describes most important settings in rF2 for VR performance?

    You need to use the old ui to get OpenCompsite to work (select old ui from the betas dropdown)

    I have a problem with the VR view since I switched from the CV1 to the Reverb G2. Every now and then my sitting position changes while riding (as if I were manually correcting the glasses). It seems to me that RF2 resets the VR view once when I put on the glasses. Is it possible to deactivate this? So that the VR view can only be reset manually? I have not found any settings for this in WMR and Steam VR. Therefore, I think that an RF2 setting must be

    Check if you had set the button to reset position in rfactor
