    Are you looking at the HTC Vive / SteamVR?

    Just wondered really. Frontier have announced that they're supporting it in Elite, so maybe there are no NDAs.

    I'm likely to have to make a snap decision on whether to pre-order one. I have a DK2 but that doesn't mean I'll get the Oculus consumer version too. Assetto Corsa are being fairly open on the fact that they're not keen to develop further for VR, so I think my decision will come down to what the plans are for support in Project CARS.

    So have any developers been looking at supporting it in Project CARS? Do you have a development version of the Vive?

    This is a question I would like to see answered as well, it's going to be a competitive market for VR and I have no allegiance to Oculus when the commercial product is launched, and there communication is woeful.

    Interestingly in the mean time Kunos have made a U turn on VR and have now stated on Facebook that they are currently working to adopt 0.7. I doubt the sudden emergence of 0.8 would change that too much. Their last statement on the Vive was no current plans.

    If Vive support is added (and I would suggest that it is going to be a very big 'if') then it won't be until, or after, the consumer product is released. It would be a pleasant surprise to see support added but I wouldn't hold your breath. For me, it's the sole reason I'm likely to stick with Oculus, pCARS is about the only thing I use mine for. Just got to wait for some news from somebody who has tried the consumer version with pCARS to see how much of a step up from the DK2 it is .

    They may wait to see how much the Vive Pre will be sold. Rumors have it pricing between 900-1500 dollars (at least 900 wouldn't be that surprising considering the more evolved tech and the controllers), and if they are true, it won't sell very well for gaming, and SMS wouldn't have any interest to spend time on it for pcars 1

    They should go with OpenVR (SteamVR) and they have VIVE and Oculus and more Devices Supported...

    Easy to say that now but back when Rift support was added, there were no other options around. Unless Vive sells millions and millions of units, I can't see it will be worth the devs time to add it, much as it would be nice.

    Well yes and no... I don't think there are 200.000 DK1's + DK2's at the moment so even less when Rift support was implemented. I guess implementing Vive support should depend on the effort it would take. And I really hope someone comes up with a VR API so everyone can choose their own brand(Sony/Rift/Fove/Vive). I prefer to buy a Vive instead of Rift. Reasons being I support Steam and HTC, love the camera that let's you see the real world and last but not least Facebook knows enough about me already.
