openRBRVR
Open source VR plugin for Richard Burns Rally.
Features
- Performance overall seems better compared to RBRVR. On some stages the difference is huge, on others they're quite similar.
- The image is more clear with openRBRVR with same resolution compared to RBRVR.
- Vulkan backend via dxvk (fork originally by TheIronWolf that adds D3D9 VR support).
- PaceNote plugin UI works correctly.
- Gaugerplugin works correctly (but has a performance impact).
- Supports both OpenXR and OpenVR.
Installation instructions
This plugin can be installed with the official RSF installer.
To install a more recent version than what is available in the RSF installer, download the latest release and copy&paste all files into RBR folder, overwriting existing files when asked to. Make sure that the RSF launcher has Virtual Reality and openRBRVR enabled when manually installing new versions of the plugin.
Setup
Plugin settings can be changed from Options -> Plugins -> openRBRVR and saved
to Plugins/openRBRVR.toml via the menu.
With the desktop FoV, objects might disappear from your peripheral vision before they go out of frame. On some stages this is more apparent than others. This can be fixed either from the RSF launcher, NGPCarMenu, or runtime by using the PaceNote plugin (double click right mouse button to open up the menu). Values between 2.3-2.6 work fine for my wide FoV headset.

Build instructions (for developers only)
The project uses CMake. I've been developing it with Visual Studio 2022 community edition that has CMake support built in.
To build d3d9.dll, build dxvk using meson. I used meson setup --backend=vs2022 --build_type=release to configure it.
