    I’m using VorpX with Automobilista (in virtual cinema mode: smoother head tracking). Automobilista is showing shadows in one eye only, so I have to disable the shadows. This makes the cars look like they are ‘floating’ above the road, so I’d like to enable shadows again. I saw a fix for rFactor last year: “rFactor: shadows fixed, positional tracking, DirectVR: FOV”. Since Automobilista is based on rFactor, can this be fixed for Automobilista too?

    @Ralf Can you look at this please?

    The game is not supported officially. I’ll check it if I can get it cheap in a sale at some point. Considering how old it is, you might well be the only one using vorpX with it, so purchasing it at the same price you paid for vorpX two years ago doesn’t make too much sense unfortunately.

    Thank you for your reply. You can try VorpX with “Copa Petrobras de Marcas” on Steam (link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/359800/Copa_Petrobras_de_Marcas/), this is a free game. Copa Petrobas runs on the same game engine as Automobilista. Automobilista used to be called Game Stock Car and Copa Petrobas is a stripped down version of Game Stock Car, a ‘commercial’ for the Petrobas petrol company with less cars and tracks.
    There are VorpX users using Game Stock Car:

    The game studio Reiza renamed Game Stock Car to Automobilista because it got a lot more cars than stock cars. Reiza even promised to add VR support to Automobilista, but they did not deliver: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/reiza-studios-automobilista-vr-statement.125699/.
    Automobilista is still highly praised for its force feedback and AI. VR is still wished for. It would be great if you can make it fully work. I will be happy to beta test it and I even will write a recommendation on RaceDepartment (the biggest simracing site) when it works, so you might get new customers :-).

    If I look into the game, I’ll look into the full game. There is no guarentee that things like shadow fixes work otherwise. Newer, more popular, games have a higher priority though. I hope that’s understandable.

    You have another option by familiarizing yourself with creating a better profile. There is a ‘User Profiles’ section in the vorpX help that gets you started on the topic.

    I can perfectly understand why you try to pursuade me into looking into your favorite game. I really can. However: I gave you the only answer I can give you above two times already.

    PS: I removed your link. Please no links to controversial key resellers here.

    Fair enough.
