I really love elite in vr, its how i play it and i cant go back.
Ever since the new exploration update i find i hate the way things happen now when you get to a new system.
I give a honk ( after many nights finding how to do it) and unlike before, no orbit lines appear, and unless you scan them in fss, they don't show on your system screen.
The surface scanner also looks better in non vr as it keeps you in the cockpit.
The new surface scanner is way more complicated then before and a lot more time consuming, at least before all you needed to do was get close enough and the scan happened.
For Gods sake frontier give some detailed instruction on control setups, it took a while, and going to a lot of sites, to finally figure out how the damn thing worked. There are bits and pieces everywhere, it seems not one single site has all the complete steps to get it up and running. The biggest one is hud mode change. I followed everyone's instructions and did the remapping of controls and I'm sitting there going what is hud mode change?
1 button was all that was needed before to do what now takes 12 for the fss and 8 for the surface scan.
As someone out around Sagittarius a , this has turned into a big time sink. i used to go in system give a honk to have look at the system map and decide if it was worth sight seeing.
I have no idea whats going to happen when i finally do go in system again.
When you honk in there will it give you all available stations or do i have to scan the out of everything to find out where i am?
The only saving grace it it will show you what type of planet is there, and if it's worth the trip to do a surface scan.
Well the galaxy map, what can i say, can we all agree in vr its a mess? Trying to find anything is a chore.
I put in Sagittarius a in search and nothing happened.....whats that all about.
On the plus side i did hit my first black hole, got a feeling they got to work on how that looks.
Thanks for listening.
