Fired the game up for the first time in like a month, and the first time with my new Oculus Rift ( ), and I immediately found some sort of giant tanker ship being attacked by Thargoids. They radioed saying they were being attacked and asked for help, but I couldnt find anything obvious that I could do.What do I do there?

chaosapiant posted:How do you like the Oculus compared to the Monoculus you'd bought previously? Well, other than being able to walk around the ship, they’re honestly mostly the same. Not really because of the headsets, but because of how much Elite relies on being seated and doesn’t really use 6dof headset features. It’s a pretty 3dof game. Which is why it was perfect for the monoculus The Rift has better tracking and isnt locked to 60fps like the monoculus, so those are niceties with it. Don’t get me wrong, the Rift is great, but the monoculus wasn’t bad at all for Elite, in reality. All you really gave up was walking around the deck of the ship. I really do like my newfound ability to play motion controller games though. I spent a solid two hours throwing things at people in pokerstars VR, which is hilarious to me for some entirely juvenile reason.

mekyabetsu posted:ED is still the "killer app" for VR in my opinion. The sense of scale you get in VR really has to be seen to be believed. I still remember the first time I fired up the game with my headset on and realized, holy poo poo, the Asp Explorer is HUGE. The reason I’ve spent my entire career in this game playing space trucker is because gliding through the mail slot in vr and landing as my buttkicker rumbles in my driving/flying rig will never, ever get old. Now that I have a rift I may toss a docking computer in and walk around my deck as it lands just to try it

RIGCHAT!! Mine has changed a bit from this pic. It now has a Ford Focus ST seat on it and the wheel is now flanked by my HOTAS setup, but this is basically what I VR in. The buttkicker adds a ton of immersion to it as well

Try out this series of videos, there are 3 of them. It doesn’t spoil the game but does tell you the basics. https://youtu.be/gf_7bwlIytA Elite is a game that you need to read a wiki or watch a video to figure out. A lot of it doesn’t make sense necessarily. An example that tripped me up and is addressed in the above video is your ship will periodically flash a sign that says “SLOW DOWN”. Your first inclination is to cut the throttle, but what it really means is you are being slowed down by gravity from a nearby celestial body. How you would figure that out without some tribal knowledge I do not know.

VR friends, is there a good virtual keyboard you can use in Elite while in VR? I use my race cockpit to play Elite and its a pain in the rear end to also have a keyboard sitting nearby, so for the coupe times I need to type something into the galactic map it would be nice to just have a virtual keyboard to hunt and peck it in. Does such a thing exist?

Well, I made the 30+ jumps needed to join the DW2 crew at Pallaeni. Hung out for a bit, got shot down, rebought my ship, and cheked the galaxy map for the next spot, Omega Sector VE-Q b5-15. Cant get there. Welp, that was fun.

That might be it, I'll double check. I just assumed it meant that one of the jumps was over my ships limits and there werent any shorter routes.

I ran Elite VR on an AMD FX-8300 with 8gb of ddr3 and a gtx 1050. It’s not that huge of a proposition to find a computer that can match or beat that configuration today. On my new machine with a 1060-6gb, 24GB of ddr4 and a Ryzen 5 2600x the main thing I notice is I spend less time in witchspace.

Everspace is $9 on chrono.gg, is it good if I like elite but dislike the complexity of anything more than space trucking? Also, I’d only play in VR, much like elite, if that makes a difference E: I was sold on “space exploration” and “arcade controls”. I’ll try it for $9 Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Apr 29, 2019 |

I use the t-flight HOTAS and it’s also very good. My only wish is that it had two separate usb cables for the throttle and stick rather than one and a link cable The HOTAS itself though I never find lacking

Buy a Rift S from Best Buy/Walmart and return it within the window if it makes you too sick. Also give it a couple hours. My Rift made me nauseous a couple times in the beginning while I acclimated, now I’m good to go for any amount of VR weirdness Also, there is no cooler thing in Elite than walking around the bridge of your ship in VR

Kilazar posted:Thanks! In VR your best bet is a HOTAS. The thrustmaster HOTAS 4 is the best entry level one. I have one and it’s great for elite. Barring that, an Xbone controller would be second best. Keyboard and mouse is hard in VR because your hands leave them and have to come back without you being able to see.
