VR support is <strong>early access</strong> and <strong>experimental</strong>. Please check these notes before diving in:<ul><li><strong>Vulkan</strong> is required, available in Launcher.</li><li><strong>SteamVR</strong> may leak VRAM, SteamVR v2.2.1 (or newer) should fix it.</li><li><strong>Quest</strong> headsets may stutter on the right eye when using Link cable, try wireless for now.</li><li><strong>Index</strong> headsets may crash, choose Options > Graphics > Lighting > Lowest for now.</li><li><strong>Varjo</strong> headsets may crash, switch from Varjo runtime to SteamVR for now.</li></ul>Adapt faster to VR by stopping as soon as you notice <strong>any</strong> hint of physical discomfort. Retry hours/days later, when fully recovered. For better framerate tips and troubleshooting check our [url=https://go.beamng.com/vr]VR documentation[/url].
Allows to improve sudden inputs (such as pressing the brake key, or quickly pushing the steering thumbstick) into smoother, more realistic, more controllable requests.[list][*][b]{{'ui.controls.filters.-1'|translate}}[/b]: the simulator will make a reasonable guess and choose one of the options below for you. [b]Choose this if in doubt[/b][*][b]{{'ui.controls.filters.0'|translate}}[/b]: tailored for digital controls like keys or buttons. It will gradually apply your input over a few tenths of a second. Advanced drivers can constantly tap the button to control the amount of input. [i]In the case of steering keys, some additional logic will make it slightly easier to stay close to optimum cornering forces.[/i][*][b]{{'ui.controls.filters.3'|translate}}[/b]: like '{{'ui.controls.filters.0'|translate}}'. [i]In the case of steering keys, some additional logic will speed up response when oversteering, at the expense of smoothness.[/i][*][b]{{'ui.controls.filters.1'|translate}}[/b]: geared towards small analog controls, such as thumbsticks or finger triggers. It provides a faster response than previous filters, with less smoothing. [i]In the case of steering bindings, it will slightly speed up countersteering.[/i][*][b]{{'ui.controls.filters.2'|translate}}[/b]: no filter is applied, your inputs will reach the simulation instantaneously and with complete transparency. [b]Choose this for the steering axis if using a steering wheel[/b].[/list]
If you are using a steering wheel, choose the same angle that your connected steering wheel is configured to (often 900 or 1080 degrees).[br][br]It's recommended to configure your steering wheel drivers to the maximum possible angle that your hardware allows, and then choose that same angle here, in this menu. That will allow you to drive a wider range of vehicles using realistic steering inputs (whether they are a quick-steering rally car or a large-steering truck).[br][br]Setting the angle:[list][*]Allows the vehicle steering wheel to match the angle of your real steering wheel (see '{{'ui.controls.lockType'|translate}}' setting).[*]Allows the '{{'ui.controls.ffb.softlockForce'|translate}}' setting to work (requires force feedback).[*]Forces the '{{'ui.controls.filter'|translate}}' setting to '{{'ui.controls.filters.2'|translate}}', for convenience.[/list]Note: if you are [b]not[/b] using a steering wheel, choose 0 degrees.
Different vehicles have different lock-to-lock steering wheel angles. For example trucks use large angles, while racecars use small angles.[br][br]This means that your connected steering wheel might turn too little or too much, depending on the particular vehicle you are driving.[br][br]This setting lets you decide how that mismatch is handled:[list][*][b]'{{'ui.controls.lockTypes.2'|translate}}'[/b] *[br]{{'lockType.raceOk'|translate}}[br]{{'lockType.truckOk'|translate}}[br]{{'lockType.syncMeh1'|translate}}[*][b]'{{'ui.controls.lockTypes.3'|translate}}'[/b] *[br]{{'lockType.raceOk'|translate}}[br]{{'lockType.truckOk'|translate}}[br]{{'lockType.syncMeh2'|translate}}[*][b]'{{'ui.controls.lockTypes.1'|translate}}'[/b] *[br]{{'lockType.raceOk'|translate}}[br]{{'lockType.truckBad'|translate}}[br]{{'lockType.syncOk'|translate}}[*][b]'{{'ui.controls.lockTypes.0'|translate}}'[/b][br]{{'lockType.raceBad'|translate}}[br]{{'lockType.truckOk'|translate}}[br]{{'lockType.syncBad'|translate}}[/list]** requires a correct '{{'ui.controls.angle'|translate}}' setting*
Use this if your wheel force is acting on the opposite direction it should.[br][br]For example, if a parked vehicle tends to steer by itself into full lock left or full lock right.
The more powerful the steering wheel is, the lower the strength you'll need to choose here. A good starting point is:[list][*]Entry level wheels configured to 1-3Nm: use 350 to 500[*]Mid range wheels configured to 3-5Nm: use 200 to 350[*]High end wheels configured to 5-30Nm: use 50 to 200[/list]If the chosen strength is too high, the most subtle details may become more noticeable, but the medium and strong details will max out and blend together, losing useful feedback. This is called [i]clipping[/i], and it happens because the steering wheel is being asked for more torque than it can produce.[br][br]You can check for clipping with the UI apps '{{'ui.apps.steering_position.name'|translate}}' and '{{'ui.apps.ffb_graph.name'|translate}}'. We recommend you reduce the strength until clipping happens rarely (or happens only in situations where you don't mind the lack of detail).[br][br]Note: force feedback in certain vehicles could be weaker or stronger than average (such as mods that weren't tested with a steering wheel). You can tune those vehicles individually through {{'ui.dashboard.vehicleconfig'|translate}} > {{'ui.vehicleconfig.tuning'|translate}} > Setup-specific force feedback multiplier.
When your steering wheel is turned beyond the maximum steering lock of the current vehicle, this setting will apply a force to pull it back into a valid steering angle.[br][br]Requires having set a valid '{{'ui.controls.angle'|translate}}'.[br][br]A smoother effect can be achieved with higher framerates and a lower '{{'ui.controls.ffb.softlockForce'|translate}}'.
Applies a force proportional to the lateral acceleration experienced by the vehicle. This additional torque is mixed on top of the regular torque from the steering rack, and might help gauge the vehicle behaviour.[br][br]In real life, this force isn't felt through the hands at the steering wheel, but through the body being pushed when cornering.[br][br]Using this setting will lead to forces that would be unexpected in real life (such as unrealistic self-centering effects in some situations), so it's down to personal preference.
Helps reduce oscillations when the vehicle is parked (or rolling slowly).[br][br]If in doubt, enable this setting. If your driving style is mostly rock-crawling (or similarly low speed maneouvers) you may prefer it disabled.[br][br]Note: if the steering wheel is not being held, oscillations are likely to happen even with this setting enabled.
