Out of curiosity
-
First off I'm thoroughly impressed on the direction of hydrosim. The new physics make me feel the realistic feeling of what it would possibly be like to be inside of the cockpit. The way the boat bounces side to side (chine walk?) Is just unbelievable lol. I raced rc hydroplanes I converted 1/8 scale unlimited hydroplane miss lumar to a brushless 8s 44.4v monster. It was pucker level 8 when near full throttle.
Okay, so I seem to have more precise control of the boat while in vr. This leads to my curiosity.
¹ is racing in vr allowed?
² what does the future hold for vr immersion? (Cockpit details etc) I noticed an upgrade in looks (it's been almost a year since I played)
³ does it seem likely that we will see water effects on the windshield?
Scott I wish I could clone 4 of you lol you're a one man army on this project. My hat goes off to you sir.

You can race in VR, but I wouldn't recommend it in a league unless you have a spotter. As for future VR stuff, the new GP boat model has a really well-made cockpit model thanks to Kallen Washburn, so that'll look really nice in VR once its finished.
With water effects, we used to have some splashes on the screen but they never worked in VR and I believe were tied to the old water system. Details like that are probably lower priority than other things, like GP boats and race courses for them.
