Hi Reiza, I'm using an XBox controller to control the game menus, since I need to use -vrNoMirror and thus no mouse. I'm struggling because when dialog boxes popup (such as for entering a password protected server), I can find no guaranteed feedback on pressing "yes". Gaze control can highlight it but the A button doesn't select it, the Start button might (sometimes) work? I just don't know. It's really bad. I have similar issues trying to get to the exit button or back button to go back to the previous screen. Can you guys spend a little time trying to fix the game controller support for menus for those of us in VR that need it? It's really frustrating trying to navigate around. Randy
Also you cannot scroll through the standings on the time board, nor can you get into the setup details to edit setups. In other words, right now you really can NOT use -vrnomirror and have full functionality.
Just following up on this. I don't know if Reiza reads this stuff or not, but in the off chance they do, I'd really like, as an experiment, for someone at Reiza to put on a VR headset, use -vrnomirror, and attempt to use this sim. I WANT to use -vrnomirror to get every drop of VR performance I can, but once you take away the mouse and attempt to use a PC keyboard alone, life is a fail. There are just so many issues with trying to navigate the front end on a keyboard. These range from dialog boxes not highlighting save/cancel and can't figure out how to save (try saving a setup alteration in this mode after you've had any luck working the setup UI with keyboard only). You just can't. It won't accept the save because you can't highlight it, arrow to it, press enter, etc. It just does NOT work. I discovered through basically pushing every key on my keyboard some weird mappings with "I" , "J" and "K" for some 'sub navigating' but it's very hit and miss. Try going into the car selection screen and working THAT with a keyboard. The dual column list of classes on the left gets you 'stuck' in the right hand column. You can't move to the left to select items from the first column with left arrow, UNLESS, you press , right, then left. Or left, then right. It's really just scary bad. I did try VR Gaze controls, but they work on some things, and not on others. For instance, you can select the major blocks on the main page, and options and quit. However, within car select, again, you can't control the car class filter or select a car class by gazing at it and waiting, or gazing and pressing enter, or anything. This is another feature that feels unfinished. Separate issue -- my Simagic Neo GT controls are not able to be used to navigate the menus) For a title that puts so much effort into an awesome VR implementation, dealing with the front-end of this game while wearing a headset can truly only be done by reaching over for a mouse, and paying the performance penalty of mirroring. Feels like this should be dealt with? Thanks.
