Maybe add a VR section?
-
Just a thought, to discuss (hacked) VR in BMS now and when it finally arrives in a future version?

I think it would be nice. We’ve trying to keep the BMS in VR thread to be the main VR clearing house, but ones like the Vorpx crashes, are in other sections like tech support. It would be nice not to have to bounce around.
I would start more individual threads too for other stuff like PointCtrl attempts, look under hardware mods, etc. I would also volunteer to find threads that could be moved there for the mods.
-
And a “BMS on other platforms” section please while we’re at it where we can organize all the info relating to running BMS on WINE, parallels, as a dedicated server and so on?
Thanks for your consideration!

I don’t remember opening a Xmas wishlist…

Good afternoon, Gentlemen.
Personally speaking, I second, and gladly, too, the two proposals both.
And also all the next Christmas gifts the devs. (and expressly Max) will kindly give to us in that occasion - many thanks in advance, good guys.
With best regards to all.

+1 vote for a VR section.

I wonder if a new section was added for these types of experimental endeavors, that (IMHO) it might be better as its own standalone rather than part of Joysticks & Input Devices.
If it was a thing, my suggestion would be to have it under Falcon BMS Support with a title such as ‘Experimental’ or ‘Community Lab’ or something that indicates that it is a section for experimental feature trials not fully supported by the BMS team, for things like VR topics, alternate operating systems unofficial support from the community, and technical methods or tricks involved for these things, etc.
Then under that category, sub-categories for VR, Linux, etc.
-
VR section will come when it is official.
As for Linux, I am still thinking since we won’t support anything but I am interested as a personal research for one day…

+1 for BMS on no-windows OSes
My personal experiences with BMS 4.35 with WINE are quite positive. It runs stable and fast.
Headtracking via OpenTrack (Linux native) also works fine. There might be issues with external apps like WDP/display extractors/ voice command
I even made a thread that tried to compile various bits of knowledge about running BMS on Linux. -
@MaxWaldorf personally speaking, and specifically about the VR “thing”, couldn’t agree more.
Also because it will be a more significative upgrade, which will mean a deep and accurate testing - my guess.
And in this while such devices’ price would drop hopefully more than a little - my wallet’s wish.With best regards.
