Comfort modes for motion sickness include optional Peripheral dampening and 2D Arcade booth display mode that can be instantly switched on or off mid-game.

Automatic matchmaking for up to 6 VR racing simulators, with option to choose car and track for bypassing pre-race player options.

Multiplayer Setup:
**!!NEW!!** Standalone launcher available to control sessions from any operator PC. Download at www.downshiftvr.com/downloads
Each station should have the Arcade Name set to exactly the same text (including spaces). This is essentially the multiplayer room/host name where the stations connect to. Once that is set, have the stations that are wanting to play a game together select Multiplayer. Make sure each station has joined the room (you'll see an arcade booth for each station pop in) before starting the race. Once the race has begun, the room closes.
For multiple sessions (for example, if you have a group of 2 or more wanting to play, and then another separate group of 2 or more wanting to play), have the stations for the first session join and start the race and then have the next set of stations start a new multiplayer game which will detect the previous room has closed and start a new room.
