I literally just watched your last video guide on this and set it up that way maybe 15 minutes ago lol. Time to watch this one and see the difference now. Thanks for the new video!!
thanks for this dude, I was able to seamlessly open ATS on Quest 3 via steamlink after following your video and reading your instructions. 40-45ish fps (laptop with 3070ti). BUT MAN, I felt dizzy after 5 minutes of driving. I almost threw up (but it is more of a "me" problem). I just got got the Quest 3 today and trying ATS with it was the first thing I did (maybe a bad decision) I think I should start with games with less motion.
Do you use any form of pass-through software to see your peripherals like steering wheel or button box? That's my one hangup when it comes to ATS/ETS in VR. Thanks for the awesome video!
Didn’t work for me. But I use Pimax. When the game starts, it’s like steam vr home wants to stay in background with a banner of the game overlaying home. And the head movement doesn’t even work. I did notice in the config file that there was no “ignore hmd “ line at all, but I put it in manually. But could t get game to work properly. So, will have to keep playing on triple surround monitors til I figure it out. Good video tho👍
@@CaptainSquareyez This is because you do not have VR enabled in Steam.

Not sure if you covered this or not, but is there a way to make camera closer to the steering wheel? I have already adjusted the seat in game, but still feels a tad far from steering wheel. Looks great in Vr tho. I’m surprised the devs haven’t fully implemented vr in game. Thanks again for the help and video mate.
