Just got the CV 1 yesterday and spent a few hours testing it.
Hardware:
i7-4790K 4.1-4.5 GHZ OC
32 GB DDr3
Nvidia GTX 980 4GB
Just wanted to do a short write up of my first experience using the CV1.
Firstly the install for elite was very easy, Just downloaded the default occulus software, started elite, select HMD from 3d setting, Boom it works.
Secondly, wow.
Ive heard alot about how you finally perceive the sense of scale, but i was shocked to see just how big some of the cockpits were. The anaconda bridge is bigger than my apartment. And sitting in the ASP cockpit almost gave me vertigo
It was a Joy to do some dog fighting, and i genuinely ducked when going through the mailslot, felt like i was about to shave a few inches of the top of my skull.
Have not tried to optimize the settings in any way yet, still need to figure out how to do the Supersampling trick many are raving about to make the text abit clearer.
Did not notice too many framedrops as of yet, although on planet surfaces i did notice a small decrease in responsiveness, not very extreme though, still playable.
For the first few hours, i was extremely pleased with the experience, and cant wait to test some more things.
Next things to try:
SRV
Systems inside nebulae
White dwarf jets
Resolution/Setting optimization to make it clearer/sharper
*EDIT, ah darn, meant to post it in the VR forum, would a kind mod please move to the correct Forum?, apologies*
