Have you got Automation already? You can build a car in Automation and export it to drive in BeamNG. The car building does get technical, but you can build some very weird stuff in it.

If you haven't tried it before, erm be prepared for a lot of faffing! I was there at the start and left after about 18 month as it really wasn't going in the direction I wanted. It is very niche these days and nothing like as expansive and brilliant as the original But that's just my vuew, I adored the original game for its expansion, and now a lot of stuff is either rightly or wrongly behind paywalls, whereas most stuff in RF was free.

Well I did get it and found it absolutely great.

The main reason, having just started sim racing so no online stuff yet, I bought Assetto Corsa and Forza Horizon 4 a couple of weeks ago or so.

With AC when I was in full VR I had no controls, not even the Rift S controllers worked.
After some more lengthy than I'd like to admit interweb research, PHer Craste came to my aid with some settings that meant the T300RS worked although the VR is only what I term as desktop VR, if that's the phrase.

Same with FH4 except that frequently my car will not respond to my controls and seems to hang for a while just going straight before engaging again, probably just me I suppose.

I will admit the issues I'm having may have a lot to do with me being a stone cold noob to sim racing and VR.

rFactor2 is the only game that has worked in full (and glorious) VR out of the box as it were and for that I can forgive much!

Great recommendation Craste, many thanks.
