A SimHub add-on makes your motion rig react when you climb into a Titan in Titanfall 2 VR
A hobbyist SimHub add-on ties a motion sim to Titan movement in the new Titanfall 2 VR mod. Here's what it does and what you need.
A Reddit user built a SimHub add-on that links the Titan cockpit in Titanfall 2 VR to a motion simulator. It reads Titan movement and drives the rig. While you’re on foot as a Pilot, the rig stays still. Once you enter a Titan, it kicks in.
The add-on was built for the new Titanfall 2 VR mod. The post doesn’t name a version. The author, posting as u/Nicotrial1, put the project on GitHub for anyone with a motion rig who wants to experiment. They also posted a longer demo video. An Inven Global write-up picked up the story under the headline “I Am Jack Cooper,” saying the mod caused a stir. The sources don’t say what that reaction was, so treat it as a headline, not a detail.
This is a DIY project, so the setup is on you. The post doesn’t walk through installation, so start with the repo’s readme. From what the post says, you’ll need a motion rig that SimHub can drive, SimHub itself, the Titanfall 2 VR mod, and the add-on from GitHub.
It’s a small project, but it shows where modding is heading. A game you already own starts talking to the hardware in your room. Worth watching whether more add-ons like this show up for other VR games.
