I've raised a support ticket in regards to the scale. I'm not alone in thinking that the world scale seems off and smaller in the Vive compared to the Oculus. I don't think this is an IPD issue, but more a world scale discrepancy between the Oculus build and the Vive.
First VR Experience with HTC Vive and Elite Dangerous
- Thread starter CMDR FlashPan
- Start date
Had a real mess with ED last night.
The T9, it's like a 3 story cockpit! :O
HAven't tried asp yet though.
Beyond the obvious, one thing that's totally cool...
Parking your ship over some planet or something then getting out of the chair and wandering over to the ship window, like stand there, hands behind your back "sight-seeing" pretending you're Captain Picard.
This ships have so much more character in VR too, like the Cutter really does feel like a huge and slow but refined ship.
WIth the headset reset button you can work it so you can actually wander quite far, like in the Hauler you can go wander past that door behind the cockpit and see what's beyond. (not much =p)
Gonna try the sight-seeing thing in an Orca tonight.
Man I with the resolution was better tho.

Start SteamVR
Start game (doesn't need to be from steam, I have stand alone Elite)
Set game to windowed mode in options
Set VR High (I have same spec as you, seems good)
Set "HMD (headphones)" in the graphical options
I forget if the game needs a restart at some point.
I leave supersampling at 1.0x. I tried 1.5x and it became quite jittery and its not pleasant in VR. I have the same CPU, GPU as you list.
I also noticed my X55 had quirky control issues if I did not have the Elite window selected as the main window on the system desktop while in VR.
