Hey there, just wondering about these new trade features in the Galmap and how easy to use they may be for players in VR? Some people enjoy VR but find the Galmap and System map less than simple to use / navigate. Will Beyond bring VR users some optimisation ie make things easier or simpler to use?
Galaxy map new features and Virtual Reality.

The galmap is already easy in VR if you set your binding up properly. Basically, do not use your mouse.
Max, could you share your Hotas GalMap bindings again - I need to make some time to try this....
This, a thousand times over. Don't even touch the mouse when using the galmap in VR, it will just troll you. With proper bindings it's easier to navigate the map with a HOTAS in VR than with a mouse in 2D.
In VR you get that with the HOTAS, and that's where all of your controls should be anyway. Better yet, you're using a physical controller instead of air-pushing virtual buttons. It works very well, the only real problem is the keyboard, which is always an issue when using a HOTAS.
Hi greylock. My bindings can be found here. Use them as a base and then experiment to get them where you want them.

I use vr and, although I'll admit it's not as easy as without vr, the galmap is usually no problem once you get used to it. It's actually one of the cooler aspects of vr, it feels like a super futuristic map that just appears around you, and the galaxy is fully 3D. it actually made me nauseous the first few times I've used it.
