Hello Commanders!
I experimented a little bit with EDH VR last night. I wanted to play it in VR, without wasting Power for 3D! I went some steps backwards to achieve this goal in short time, for free.
With the following instructions you'll be able to test this "mode" for free and easily! There are many "downsights", not "only" the missing 3D! The headtracking, for example, is bad, compared to Frontiers quite perfect implementation!(No positional tracking!
) Hope they'll let me use their head tracking with a usual 2D Resolution sometime! The reason why I am doing this is "Frames"! I use the axed power to set my shadows, the textures, the terrain-quality.. everything to high or maybe ultra, 1,5-2,0 SS.. whatever! Everything is beautiful, AND smooth! BUT: It doesn't feel right without Positional Tracking! Maybe somebody, who's using trackir or something similar can help!?
I have a GTX770, I thought: Why not posting it? Maybe there are other people suffering judder on planets, in SRV or near starports... maybe people with extreme Hardware want to try Elite in VR with a extreme Frames-Boost too, just for fun, it's easy! I am not posting this to say you should play this game in this mode, not even I'm planing to, I just want to share my experiment with you and let it also try: (use at own risk!)
1. Set your DK2 to Extended mode.
2. Install/open "Opentrack"
As Tracker you have to choose whatever you are using, my current Oculus 0.5.0.1, wasn't on the list, so I choosed 0.4.2. Bind a key for "center" in the options and press "Start".
3. Start EDH and go to the graphics options, choose your DK2 as display and change the resolution to "948x1080!"
4. First I felt unwell, everything felt damn strange and not so good. But after some minutes I got used to it and played with the options! Have fun!
Here's a Video with FPS-Counter! I think the FPS is quite good, right?
