2D games in VR?

What are the options?

I'd like to try TT Ride on the Edge in VR. It's objectively a terrible game with incredibly broken handling but it does have the IOM TT track and a fantastic sense of speed. I don't mind fiddling, is there anything that would at least allow a 1st person view?

Cheers, I've got the week off and nothing grown up to do. I'll give it a go. I especially liked biggerize!

Ride on the Edge 2 has a VorpX G3D profile added in by one of VPX's best contributors. I don't have the game to try it, but did pickup a cheap copy of Ride 3 because VPX had the profile in G3D.

A G3D profile on the cockpit is pretty much native VR. The only two bike games that actually do support VR are GP bikes, and the MX bikes.

That's interesting, thanks. I've got Ride on the Edge 1 and Ride 2. I've wishlisted the newer versions for sales. Just noticed that Ride 4 is a thing now as well.
I'll try biggerizing first as it's free and see how my stomach gets on. Wasn't aware of GP bikes, something to watch for the future.

Not the perfect VorpX experience, but not the worst either. Thanks for giving me a reason to try it though

There's a free demo that works with MX bikes in VR. fair warning though, it's very motion sickness intensive when you fall off.

Thanks for trying it

I'm ok with the thumbstick bit, I'm a joypad only type nowadays for comfort reasons.
I tried Ride on the Edge embiggened and it's better for me on the normal monitor.
I'm sort of reluctant to pay for VorpX for a couple of games that may or may not work well.
Many thanks for the input.
