News Elite Dangerous - Oculus Rift update

[Alec Turner]

In the Elite settings menu, most settings have a small button to the left that expands the options. A bit fiddley with the Rift on as you have to use the mouse. Hope this helps.

Hint: to expand those setting sections which have both a value (e.g. a list of presets) AND the small '+' button you need to bind a joystick button to "UI Nested Toggle". That button can then be used to expand those sections.

God knows! (can't remember now). I remember it was something that was really bugging me. I guess I just dug around on the internet until I found an answer.

I'm looking forward to seeing it happen.

Hello VR guys. After saving long and hard for a new PC capable of running an Oculus Rift, I finally have one and at Christmas I bought a Rift. Having watched the various introductory 'video' clips, I was blown away. I eagerly downloaded and installed the VR version of Elite. Everything went fine. I started the game having heard people raving about it, I was disappointed at the graphics. I could not recognise ships until I was on top of them. I have done nothing other than start up the game. I assume there are settings that I need to change to get things corrected. I have a 1080 graphics card and an Intel I7 processor running on Windows 10, so things should be pretty good. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to set things up.
Thank you in advance.

Turn off ASW on Oculus. It drops the framerate. It kicks in when it really doesn't need to. To turn it off press CTRL+ NUM1 (when Num lock is on)

3D is nice and all, but if you think it is remotely, even in the same ball park, hell even in the same continent as VR then you have not tried VR.

that said, i do wish more devs supported 3D. Gears of war 3 on the xbox was fab in 3d even tho the hardware really struggled.
with my kick pc the new gears game would be fab in 3D.
