During Wolfpack345's live stream TF team developers indicated that VR is aimed for in "early 2021". Keeping hopes up for VR support for the Tobruk campaign.

A VR question was asked during an interview with Team Fusion Simulations makers. Seems that VR in 2021 is on the books, but is depended on the success of Tobruk. VR is a realstic goal.

Relevant timestamp for VR question:

Seen this posted by a few people now that fly flight sims and love the immersion VR gives but cannot use their switch panels.
This is not a way to use the pass through to see your panels but a way of keeping on your headset on for 100% of the time.
I fly IL2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad that has many keystroke functions so i bought switch panels to make this easier than trying to remember that left control plus 1 will get the flare gun and left control tilde will put the flare gun away and many many more configurations.
I was told about a program that is perfect for VR, i can now fly with my headset on press my map key on my joystick and make it zoom in or out left or right by saying zoom in or move left.
I can select my flare gun by just saying red flare.
I can put the flare gun away by just saying remove gun.
I can see the online stats of our battle by saying scoreboard.
The list of things is endless by using a program called Voice Attack. https://voiceattack.com/
This program selects keystrokes for your joystick and keyboard and mouse by voice commands.
When in multiplayer games and i get shot down i can say escape and my game goes back to the selection page to choose another aircraft without lifting my headset at all.
I do not have any connections with the developer of Voice Attack apart from buying the full version for £7.89p after using the free version, just sharing this information for anyone who is interested.

I gashed some fans into my rift today and its so much better. No fogging up. 5v fans and a inline usb switch that I can flick when its starts to steam up. Credit to Crane for giving me the idea. Give it a Google if you have problems with them steaming up.
