Looking forward to F1 2018? What would you like to see added to the new game that differs from F1 2017? Let us know in the comments section below!

I have a Thrustmaster T80, but without the TH8A Add-On Shifter.
Will it work? thankful

 

[Hitman65]

I have VR Oculus Rift and use it a lot in Project Cars 2, A/C etc. But in F1 2017 I use Tobii Eye Tracker. Makes the game much more emersive.....

 

[Lasee]

But can we have VR support? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

You can have a full VR Support with OpenTrack + HTC Vive + VorpX. For me it works perfectly in F1 2017.

You only have to activate in F1 the Tobii Eye Tracker Track-IR option.

So i'm glad that this is also included in F1 2018.

there is no VR , the list of supported peripherals came out and no VR so no buy !

So, OpenTrack takes the input from the headset and turns it into something like TrackIR that the game can recognize, and VorpX then takes the video presentation info from the game and makes it stereoscopic?

How do the menus, etc. look?

You have to use the F1 2017 VorpX Profile from Cloud. After That the menus are optimized for VR. Like the Menu in Fallout 4 Profile. Also you have to set the Headmovement tracker in the VorpX Profile to 0. Then it works perfect in the game. I love it

Stereoscopic is posible but i don't like it.You have to play with the positions in F1 2017 and the POV and i like the default mode more.

I hope they will bring up in future a full VR Support like AC, that is for me the best VR Racing Game.

I hope that helps you

All these people going to miss out on a top class F1 race game because of no VR. VR is only used by a few people on this forum, say 12 at the most. Hence why Codies can't be bothered with VR.
Hundreds of thousands of F1 race game fans will buy this despite people on here stating they won't. Niche VR, passing novelty.


I bet I catch at least two.........

 

[muzikant]

No vr no buy

Call me bad person, but I like driving F1 2017 on Xbox One, with Fanatec v2(+drive hub so I can use F1 wheel) it's decent to drive. Of course it's not iRacing/Assetto type of F1-level but it's accessible and fast to get accustomed to. I haven't drove seasons or career, I just drive practises/ tt's on my own.

edit. And using Xbox X, graphics are nicely sharp and fps good enough(F1 2017 is enhanced on XbX).

Hi, I know this is the wrong place to ask but would love to have some setup help concerning wheel on XBX, I have a knightmare..
