VR setup guide for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 with HTC Vive or Oculus Rift.\r
\r
This video is a guide on how to enable VR for American Truck Simulator and/or Euro Truck Simulator 2, how to optimize the in-game graphic options for VR, how to tweak the config files to maximize your VR graphics and performance, how to set up a custom keybinding for Reset HMD Orientation.\r
\r
**EDIT: You dont need SteamVR beta for Async reprojection anymore**\r
\r
This guide works for both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR headsets. The main difference between the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive for ATS and ETS2 VR setup is that you have to enter -openvr as a Steam launch option for the HTC Vive and -oculus as a Steam launch option for the Oculus Rift.\r
\r
American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 both share the same setup and optimization process for VR. You can copy/paste the config.cfg and controls.sii files between the two games to copy your VR settings and keybinding between games.\r
\r
Setting up VR for American Truck Sim and Euro Truck Sim involves ivating the VR beta from the Beta tab of American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator 2 properties in Steam. Then add -openvr or -oculus to the launch options in the General tab. This is all you need to do to ivate VR for Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator, but I also cover a lot of optimizations and tweaks for a better VR experience in this video.\r
