What is your biggest gripe while using VR?
- Thread starter Kingtutuk
- Start date
VR straws not available on the FD store.
The foam on mine started to come away from the plastic, I'd only had it a matter of months. Had to glue it back on. Not impressed with the Rift build quality or choice of materials considering the cost.
And to add one more thing to my mini-rant - my biggest gripe is having to spend 4 days troubleshooting an issue with jitters and frame drops and having to fresh-start Windows in order to fix it. As I type it occurs to me that I really should be
I'm using a VR Cover thingy; it's softer but still tickles!
leather, they gotta offer replacement faceplates with leather covered padding, just like Samsung does.
My wife is bitkhing that I'm using her blow drier to fix my inverse Mohican hairstyle from the head strap,

Particularly in ED:
1. stuttering (its the ONLY game I have that does it, regardless of HMD/Game settings)
2. The Galaxy Map..... just make it 2D, for the love of everything that is holy....please.

- The UI text is a bit blurry, some planetary surfaces as well. Option for a simpler text with less gradient would be nice.
- I wish you had the option to turn off character model and that the captain's sea had a shorter back.
- Obviously VR is still in infancy, and the res could certainly be higher
But those are minor gripes. Elite in VR is a fantastic, fantastic game. Heck, I've spent hours in it just lying on the couch listening to music after having parked the ship in some scenic portion of space. That rear window shelf in the Asp is my virtual camping bed.
As for drinking, I use a bottle.

You can speed up the cursor moment by zooming out
Low resolution but thats not on FD.
I agree with this: Forced third person camera modes; MC Ship turrets
For multicrew weapons control i would have liked to see something first person, maybe like this:
Still sitting in your seat but sort of in a bubble like the SRV or SLF cockpit, instead of glass you would be surrounded by a screen, effectively making the ship around you transparent, with the firing arcs of the weapons superimposed, you would turn independently of the ship like the current MC setup but it would still be first person.
The current way its handled feels too arcadey, a step clear away from "always first person" like a concession to the console segment.
I have no issues touch typing, navigating the galmap using my hotas or drinking from a bottle without seeing it and consistently fail to see why some find it so hard.

^ Yes, PLEASE. I want to use a mouse to interact with BOTH maps. I have a joystick, not a HOTAS, and the map is a pain to use with the joystick.
heh, got to learn to blind type! Simply find the little ticks in the F/J keys on keyboard and then type away.

I want to be able to see and use a perfectly working keyboard and mouse for navigation in the Galaxy and System Panels. Typing messages would be OK too.
There is a program called OVRDrop for Steam which lets you place an sized overlay panel anywhere on the VR output.
So, small clip on camera at top of monitor pointing down to my keyboard
Crop and size it accordingly
See if I can plonk it at the bottom of my screen
Perfectly usable keyboard and mouse without taking VR headset off.
How about some assistance from a bright soul at ED

Due to the forced 3rd person rubbish I only use fighters in MC - or relax in a buddies cockpit. I never use the turrets. I wish I could avoid them in the SRV too.
I know, it's still crap, I have a PC that comes with a mouse, which is about the best solution to putting a cursor exactly where you want it and then grabbing and moving things on a screen that has ever been developed, its PERFECT for using a pseudo 3D map on a 2D screen, no amount of faffing about with joystick controls, hot keys or gamepads will improve upon it.
The somewhat poor performance on my rig (45 asw pretty much all the time)
Aliasing
Screens left and right popping up and blocking my view, would like to move them down and tilted backward. (should probably just turn it off and get used to pressing buttons)

Mice & Keyboards are considered the worse input devices for use in VR. The VR HMD manufactures even discourage and recommend against there use. Faffing around feeling for other input devices while essentially blind to the real world is not exactly indicative of a great experience.
Mice are also useless 3D pointing devices...A HOTAS or gamepad configured correctly however, work great in 3D environments due to the number of available axis to the user.
That said I'd still prefer to see the Galmap on a screen within my cockpit... I hate being taken out of the cockpit.
