VRNeckSafer...will he or won't he?

Recommended Posts

With the popularity of OpenXR increasing and people jumping over from SteamVR do you think that Norbert will port his gem of a mod to work with OpenXR??

I've tried going back to SteamVR and the visual quality is just not as good as with OpenXR. While I really want to use VRNeckSafer I prefer to see the other guy when in a furball.

indeed, as SoH noted, he's working on it.  Norbert mentioned having a working prototype, but still needing to be worked....

I think I read someplace that Norbert doesn't accept patrons. Is there a way to support him? Other than DEVRiM English cockpit mods VRNS is the most useful mod I have.

NeckSafer for Open XR is in Beta.
VRNeckSafer/Release/XRNeckSaferBeta1.zip · master · Norbert Siepenkötter / VRNeckSafer · GitLab

And there is a Discord
https://discord.gg/X59mrxfK

However, the function is a bit wobbly as of this moment 😉 Just sayin...

Yes, he appreciates folks who want to show their support through purchasing his favorite WW1 flight sim and supporting its evolution thus.  The other unmentionable game.  I don't fly it but bought both sets to support his endeavors, one of the best game enhancements for VR, a price well worth it for me to show support and pay back with some sort of reward for his outstanding efforts.  Who knows some day I may actually fly it also.

It's still a very early beta that works fine in the developers system. Now we have to be patient as master Yoda would say 😄

Thanks. So it would not work with Quest2 for me then.  I would wait.

It is okay, the original SteamVR works, so this is nice to have.

I dunno, must be either me or the AV software...

Edit: yes it is me and now it is working in flying colours (sorry pun intended):

Update, it seems to eat up FPS quite significantly for now. Question, how can I make the "looking up" easier?

Turns out I must minimise the XRNeckSafer to avoid any FPS loss.
