the editor won’t let you get access to the top 4 modes of the landscape sculpt tool (sculpt, smooth, flatten, ramp) when building in VR, the list of tools is not long enough, the top one that shows is is erosion and there is no way to scroll the list up or down, you can get this condition every time you want, I’ve searched for solutions but only found two people on Youtube that have had this problem and no answers posted, it seems to be a bug. My system is i7 3.6ghz, Geforce gtx 980 4g, 8gb ram, gigabyte H81M- Ds2 mainboard. 64 bit.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this issue. VR Mode is still an experimental tool and users may experience many bugs while using this tool. However, I have logged this as a bug which you may track here:

While testing I found that a possible workaround could be to select the tool you wish to use that is not accessible in VR Mode (Sculpt, Smooth, Flatten. Ramp) before entering VR Mode. While this is a very annoying way of doing it, it may be helpful.

Thanks,

Are there any updates on a fix for this?

Landscaping in VR feels counter-productive as opposed to just using the mouse for it.

Which is a shame because my initial experience with it was so pleasant (before I noticed the bug)

For some reason, it crushes every time i select those tools before entering VR Mode.  
So it makes sculpting landscapes in VR practically impossible.
