    Mechwarrior 5 vr

    Holy shit. I stopped playing early because I was frustrated I couldn’t set my weapons groups like MW4, but if I can sit in the goddamn cockpit and use a flight control system in vr sign me the fuck up.

      Unfortunately don’t think there are motion controls. Works great with Hotas though. I wished we would have motion controls but can’t ask too much from modders who are doing this on their free time.

      Edit: You also may need to elaborate on what you mean change your weapon groups like MW4, it has been quite a bit since I played that one.

        Yeah don’t care about motion controls, those are best left to standing games.

        In MW4 you can assign any weapon to any group, so you can have granular groups like one for short range one for long or individual weapons as well, but also an alpha strike shoot fucking everything group. When I started MW5 I could only assign a weapon to one group. I think. It was a while ago but that’s what I vaguely remember.

          I don’t have MW5 installed anymore but from my memory you can assign a weapon to multiple firing groups. The only thing I think they did remove is it doesn’t use a select fire active group button anymore.

          Yeah don’t care about motion controls, those are best left to standing games.

          Not sure if you have tried it but VTOL Vr may change your mind on that. It will never beat HOTAS but its far more immersive than relying on your keyboard or controller.
