Richard Burns Rally for Free - VR Oculus & Vive Support

drunkmonkey

Thought i'd make a simple guide here on how to get this game up and running..hope the mods don't mind as this is abondware and can't be bought anywhere and there is no official support, the company is long closed down.


The installer is here

All the instructions are there in the read me file, you may run into a small problem with permissions trying to change the RichardBurnsRally.ini file if you do just open notepad as administrator and open and save the file that way.

To get VR up and running download the VR Mod from here version 1.5 and extract into the instillation folder

Start Richard Burns Rally from the installation folder by double clicking the file RichardBurnsRally_SSE.exe file

Enjoy!!

An old game but one of the best rally ones out there, should run butterly smooth on most rigs.

Wow, had no idea there was a VR Mod for it, thanks!

Got it up and running using just the stock physics but it feels very realistic already. Might give the NGP Czech Mod a go next and see how it compares.

Would you believe I can't get started in it as in take off, car keeps stalling when I take my foot off the clutch, it looks like the brake is stuck on, can't find where to configure the manual gears with clutch either, can only put them in sequential. Using a fanatec wheel with g27 pedals, fanatec shifter and handbrake as well, set up works fine in every other game, can't figure it out.

There’s 2 options for acceleration.
Throttle, which is what I use with my g29 pedals.

And then “accelerator and brake” which share the same axis for strange setups.
Hit the delete button to leave this blank.

And set brake using the standalone brake setting.



Took me a while to figure that out.

Manual H Shifter had me baffled until I realised the game doesn’t support it unless you download this plugin:

Don’t forget to enable the plugin in the plugin menu, I missed that bit and setup my gears and nothing happened! Haha

Cheers the stand alone brake settings??

Think this is my problem with the clutch and brake, I need to put my foot on the brake to accelerate so think there locked on, on my screen like yours above my clutch and brake are fully up to the red.Throttle and handbrake are normal down at the bottom.
If I pull the handbrake the red squares go up and that's working fine in game.

Gears are still a problem, will only work in sequential with auto clutch but downloaded that plugin in and configure them all fine so they are recognised.

Just the brake setting on its own and not the accelerate and brake setting.

It might be something to do with how the fanatec adapter for the pedals designates each axis.

Did you enable the plugin in the plugin menu? I have auto clutch and clutch helper or whatever disabled.

Try having a look in the input.ini file mentioned here, and messing with the axis inversion settings:
