I’m in the process of setting up a second computer with an Oculus Rift. Not for space or flight simulators, but other games. No joystick or flight type controllers.
This second system presents an opportunity to let non-techie, non-gamer people ride along with me in my VR spaceship. Get an easy introduction into virtual reality along with a taste of space travel.
The question is what exactly do I need to just sit people down in a chair and fly them around with me for a bit sight seeing?
First off, it appears the full Elite Dangerous along with the Horizons - Season Pass is required to enable multi-crew.
Next questions is controllers. What’s the minimum requirement and how should I set them up? Are the Oculus Touch controllers good enough? I’ve never tried the Touch Controllers with Elite so haven’t a clue. What functions do my passenger actually need to perform to enjoy a flight into space, yet not cause any unnecessary problems for the pilot. The simplest plan would be to initiate the multi-crew session first, then put the Oculus on them with a stern “don’t touch anything.”
Does anyone has any experience with this? I’d appreciate any information or insights.
Thanks
