TL;DR I have a special request for the background in VR.
Hi everyone and Sally. Sorry to hijack this forum thread. Delete or redirect me where you think I could have a good chance to be heard. I’m back to ED after having taken a couple weeks pause. I usually do this once a year to play other game, mostly MSFS which also demand a lot of investment like Elite.
A long time ago, in the Elite Dangerous Issue Report - 16/11/2021, I was asking you if it was possible to change the background from grey to black in VR.
Your answer was:
'' Hello! Haw... We were only talking about the "can it be black around the edge" for VR at Dinner with the Devs on Saturday, funny enough I didn't have the notebook there with me but I've kept it for resurfacing in chats! Thank you for your thoughts. You fly safe too o7 ''
So, I was wondering if you could please give us the option to change the color. It would be so much more immersive, since we are often on the surface of a planet with the blackness of it above us. When it’s grey, it really make it feel like we are in a box. The only reason I feel the they have chosen grey is because (maybe) the god’s ray that are introduced in VR when there is high level of contrast. But, honestly, I would rather have a tiny bit of god ray than having a obvious gray boring, immersion breaking grey background.
If you ever see this message, I would be honored. I’m so excited for the new things to come. Thank you for all your dedication Sally, and for all the CM and Devs at Frontier.
Fly safe.
