For those of you playing on a Smart TV, here's a tip you might not know. If your TV supports Frame Interpolation (also called Motion Interpolation), this can improve your gaming experience on games like ED. There are definitely a couple of caveats, however.
You'll have to research your own TV on how to enable this feature. I had a Vizio that would increase frame rate to 120 FPS. I think some TVs can do 240 FPS, though I wonder if there is some "marketing magic" behind this number. Regardless, the frame rate increase is real. This creates the infamous "Soap Opera" effect, which people have a love / hate relationship with. It's not so good for movies, but it can look really good applied to most video games. FI not only smooths out motion, but it has a side-effect of reducing aliasing (less jaggies).
The big caveat is that it takes time to process the signal, and that introduces latency between what you do and what you see. Some games are more sensitive to this than others. The actual amount of latency will depend on your TV.
The other caveat is that this won't work miracles - if you're only inputting 30 FPS to the TV and you're flying herky-jerky, the final picture will still look herky-jerky. However, smoother flight that creates less differential between frames can really benefit from motion interpolation.
I've used this feature for racing games and flight sims, and it greatly improved my image quality! This is subjective, as some people are more sensitive to frame rate than others, but it's worth a try. If you don't like it, put your TV back into gaming mode, no harm done.
ps - I believe PSVR actually uses frame interpolation to achieve the 90 FPS minimum required to avoid motion sickness.
