# Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator
[Euro Truck Simulator 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2/) & [American Truck Simulator](https://store.steampowered.com/app/270880/American_Truck_Simulator/) run fine on their native version. However, the VR experimental branch (oculus branch) is Windows only.
As such, you will need to run them in Proton
In Steam, go into your game properties, and switch to the `oculus - Oculus+OpenVR+OpenXR` beta.
*If necessary, you can use `oculus_previous` or previous `oculus` branches to use an older version of the game for modding compatibility.*
Then, create the following launch option:
```
-openxr
```
#Keybindings
Once in the main menu, you will notice the game starting as it was before and no output in your VR headset. **Press F11 to switch to the VR view**. This can easily allow you to switch out the views if needed without quitting the game.
To reset your head position, **press F12 to reset your head to the center**.
## Multiplayer
Convoy mode does work with the oculus branch and in VR. The main drawback is that it isn't backward compatible with the other game branches. As such, other players will have to also switch to the same `oculus` branch to connect to you.
Thankfully, desktop users can safely switch to the oculus branch and play as usual, as the game starts in desktop mode by default and only switches to VR mode via **F11**.
## Modding
The popular TruckersMP multiplayer mod [doesn't yet allow users to use the experimental VR mode on their servers](https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/111098-vr-support/).
However, most mods installed from the workshop or locally, in the Proton Prefix Documents folder, should work fine.
Some suggested VR mods would be an edited VR advisor that positions the advisor at a better angle in-game. Made by FatesOfNorns

And on the opposite, for those wanting to play with the advisor UI, this mod helps users doing quick jobs by adding a portable GPS to all quick job trucks that don't have it (and would require the advisor GPS for smooth navigation). Made by Duke Leto
