You VR enthusiasts just can't keep away from GTA 5, can you? The recent release of the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift has sent ripples through the gaming industry. The massive boom of VR has once and for all silenced those voices that claimed it to be a passing fad with no place in the mainstream. Despite the relatively limited compatibility with non-specifically developed VR games, the devices have pretty wide libraries.

Why? Modding. Fans and enthusiasts who know a thing or two about coding have managed to get non-VR games running on various VR headsets. GTA 5, Rockstar's massive juggernaut of a game is among the most frequently modded for Virtual Reality. This probably stems from the fact that there is no official VR version available — nor will there ever be — and that the game is extremely popular.

However we've seen GTA 5 running on VR before — it's not exactly spectacle anymore. Combining it with a fully functional motion simulator replicating the sensation of actually driving a car? While in VR? That's spectacle.

Simulation enthusiast and GTA 5 fan who goes by the online moniker "Silent Chill" has recently MacGyvered-together a large 6 degrees of motion simulation rig with an Oculus CV1. He's also modded the game to be compatible with the VR headset.

The result? Something that would be amazing for certain users and absolutely nauseating for others. Not only does the Rift's head-tracking make looking around feel real, the simulator makes the user feel like they're actually in the car that they're driving in-game.

Of course, this presents some issues. The headset's motion tracker also registered the movements of the 6DOF rig, making camera-control nigh impossible during complex maneuvers. The project could be following while it was in progress on the XSimulator.net website.

Among the various tools used to make this become reality is Vorpx. The Vorpx software is what is used to make games that aren't VR capable on their own compatible with the Rift and Vive headsets, though in some cases it takes more than a little elbow-grease to get working.
