Using existing dearVR projects
You can still request plans and apply the positions to dearVR controls by hand with host automation. Check the azimuth and elevation directions by ear first, because no profile defines them.

FAQ
Will my old dearVR sessions still open?
That depends on your plugin license and operating system, not on Gravity Feed.
Why not add a profile anyway?
A profile must be tested and maintained against current releases. That is not possible for software without ongoing updates.
