Ahoy There, Skippers!
As part of the control system update I have added a hybrid VR control setup to the game. This system allows you to control the boat using your VR controllers rather than having to actually grab the controls.
I actually prefer driving the boats like this.
In each boat there is a new GREEN button which toggles the "Remote Control" system on and off. With it switched on you can apply throttle with the trigger and steer with the thumbstick/touch pad. You can still grab the controls if you want allowing e.g. if you want to steer using the virtual controls but like the throttle on the trigger then you can do this.
Please note that there is currently no reverse on the triggers and that when the "Remote Control" system is on the virtual VR controls will re-centre after being released rather than stay where they are with the system off.
In the next day or so I should complete the rest of the control update which will allow you to configure pretty much any physical control system to control the boat e.g. Wheel, pedals, joypad etc.
