TL-DR - We want VR to be on the odyssey roadmap, but understand it will be towards the end of the roadmap. Also, if possible, as a stopgap, we'd like the VR headcam to be enabled on foot and understand it will not be a polished VR experience.

As VR players we recognise that EDO still has many hills to climb, and many different players to please. However, we’d like to take this moment to emphasise our passion for EDVR, and our desire for VR Legs to be supported in the game.

We would ask FDev to roadmap or otherwise clarify the plans for VR’s future. If roadmapped we would of course expect a later waypoint on the route, to ensure that Frontier can focus on fixing Odyssey's more pressing issues, for everyone's benefit.To this end we have been coralling VR bug reports into one thread, linked here: Odyssey VR specific bug reports

Player experimentation with the VR vanity camera has given us a glimpse of functioning VR on foot, and the gameplay itself feels like it would only be elevated by full VR support. As such we would love to see a firm commitment from Frontier to VR.

The second most upvoted suggestion thread on record is asking Frontier for backdoor access to no frills VR. (Incidentally, the third most upvoted suggestion of all time asks for something similar). Given the lower resourcing requirements of these suggestions, and the anticipated lengthy wait for a proper VR implementation to the standards the team may wish to deliver, we hope that something of this nature could be provided in the meantime.

We've also had some feedback with people expressing a desire for VR hand controllers, and we would like to see them, but understand with the associated inverse kinematics and physics, hand controllers will be more work than VR Headlook, and as such will be much further down the line. However, even if it is a lengthy wait for them, we would like to see them on the roadmap.

I would be ecstatic just to be able to play VR in Odyssey. My system will run Horizons in VR at 1.5 super sampling, 1.5 Oculus HMD resolution upsampling and Ultra settings without a hiccup. In Odyssey it's a FN slide show at 1.0, 1.0 and medium settings. This will be a FN travesty if Horizons is upgraded to this garbage.

The dumbest part is it BARELY looks any different!!

Wholeheartedly agree. Elite: Dangerous was and is in many ways VR at it's very best. Please don't give up on it now. The foundations are there, don't neglect them. Upgrade them!
