Remap Vehicle Controls to Handlebar Grips for Enhanced VR Immersion
Declined
🚙 Suggestion: Remap Jet Ski / ATV Controls to the Vehicle Handlebar Grip Instead of Controller Triggers
Current Control Scheme:
Driver View
Right Trigger (Controller) = Throttle Forward
Left Trigger (Controller) = Throttle Reverse
This setup works, but creates a major issue in VR:
❗ Problem
In VR, it's natural to:
Hold a gun in the right hand
Grab the handlebar with the left hand
However, with the current control scheme:
If I grab the handlebar with my left hand only, I can only reverse.
If I want to move forward, I must use the right hand trigger, but that hand is often holding a weapon.
This breaks immersion and limits control for players who want to drive with one hand while keeping the other hand free (e.g., for combat).
✅ Suggested Improvement
Remap the throttle system to the handlebars:
When gripping the right side of the handlebar, the right trigger = Forward throttle
When gripping the left side of the handlebar, the left trigger = Reverse throttle
This way, players can:
Drive forward by gripping and throttling the right side
Drive backward by gripping and throttling the left side
Use one hand to steer and move, while keeping the other hand free
🎯 Benefits
More intuitive and immersive VR control
Allows for one-handed driving and combat
Reduces frustration for players in fast-paced situations
Thanks for considering this!
