Give BattleGroupVR a go - it’s a pretty good RTS
You evil evil person - just when I thought I might get some time back in my evenings and then you show me this!! 
How many people are still playing in VR?

Pancake for Ody, VR for Horizons, the compromises are just too great, and Ody has weird glitches in VR. 4790k, 1080 and Rift S. Planning to upgrade though, as too often the immersion is not there in Ody without it.
This is the beginning of the end for me I think. I tried horizons 4.0, the graphics are awful (mainly aliasing and light) and the performance even worse. It's a return to the past, 5 years ago. 3.8 is going to be dropped, so.. This is the end.
But well, I had lot of fun with this game. Thanks for that.

The end is the beginning is the end, as the Smashing Pumpkins taught us.
I think the graphics are not so bad, stunning even as soon as atmospheres come into play, antialiasing is crap indeed and was better 5 years ago. Performance is good enough, fine sometimes, in 2D at least (GTX 1070 @1440p). Performance in VR is worse than before, but you'll only notice if you stare at the FPS counter. YMMV, Rift here. I like Odyssey better, lighting for sure, and on foot gameplay (exobiology) in particular.
O7,

O7,
I thoroughly enjoyed VR when I tried it, but given that VR doesn't work with games running under the Wine translation layer, I don't play it anymore. I would otherwise!
(Addendum: You can play Elite in VR on Linux if you use Steam and Proton, but I don't use Steam and I don't want to play Elite in VR enough to make me install Steam.)
(Addendum 2: VR doesn't work with wine either. Believe me, I've tried. Yes, the beverage in this case.)

Play in both Horizons 3.8 and Odyssey. Bought Odyssey at 20 bucks so no big deal can goof around in it and hope they get some things sorted if not I won't lose the house or anything. Still my favorite game for VR as I have been at it for over 10 yrs now with DK1, DK2, Rift, Odyssey +, and now using a Quest 2. A lot of time and money invested in all the nuances and tweaking over the years. Wish I could afford what the big boys have like a 3090 rig running a Varjo but hey its all good.

I started playing again yesterday. Odyssey. Haven't played in, since the anouncement that they wouldnt support VR.
Please for the love of the game FD fix pancake mode. You lost all the console players, bring back the VR players, Hire someone to fix pancake mode

I've stopped playing since I witnessed the Oddity clusterflip. Not impressed that FD have abandoned VR development having previously used it to promote their game in the first place. So I don't support or champion FD anymore. The end.
And what is the best quality/price headset for VR in ED ?
The Quest2 or other ?

the Q2 was the king of bang for your buck... but the RRP went up £100 a few months back
now....... it's a closer call. I would take a reverb G2 over a quest now for pure PCVR.
the Pico 4 is also looking very promising but I have not tried one of those yet.
Reverb all the way. You'll keep it far longer than any of the emerging competition so from a value perspective it's king. I don't like spending money on tech so I buy at the top of the market and hold onto it for much much longer. e.g. That way I'm spending 'less' money than people who buy the cr@ppy headsets like the Valve Index or anything with 'Quest' in the title ( NB. I know they're actually very good headsets. From a Reverb owners POV, they have horrible displays and I certainly couldn't put up with one now I'm ruined by HP ). I don't see any headsets, even being talked about , e.g. MeganeX, Pico that would make me upgrade whereas if I had any Quest/Index I would be looking at them with a view to upgrading... more money.the Q2 was the king of bang for your buck... but the RRP went up £100 a few months back

Well, from my point of view, I use the Quest 2 for ED. I have a Reverb G2 also and for sure the HUD is much clearer with that, but performance is worse so I trade off a bit of sharpness for smoother performance.
My rig is an i7 10700k (I think that's correct), and RTX 3080, 32GB and an SSD, so quite decent. I try not to obsess about things in VR, don't constantly monitor fps use how it makes me feel as an indicator - if I feel queasy then I know it's struggling, and again, with sharpness so long as I can see well, I'm happy (even though I know the Reverb would be sharper). And basically, the Quest gives me smooth performance, good graphics and my machine runs it just fine without a struggle.
So, for sure the Reverb is a 'better' HMD and may give you a much cleaner image, but it requires a good computer to get the full benefit.
have you set up your G2 correctly or tried recently @Faded Glory i only ask because seeing as you have the headsets already.
i have found performance has increased a fair bit in EDO, and if you set your steam VR super sampling to 80% i find performance ok... admittedly i have a 3090, but in reality its only a gnats pube faster than a 3080 in games. (of course if you are happy with the Q2 in elite that is great but would be a shame to miss out on a bettter experience based on an old EDO build.

Don't use SteamVR at all, it's slow and you have to turn settings down. Use OpenComposite and OpenXR and tweak to your preference. I uninstalled SteamVR about three months ago and have never looked back. I suspect OpenXR might kill it. It's just too easy to develop for, it's OSS, doesn't require compliance to anything 'Steam' and you don't get forced updates whenever it feels like. I'm using it with ED, MSFS and SkyrimVR.
Not recently, no to be fair. As in haven't tried it recently, I think it's set up correctly as I use it for MSFS which runs pretty well.
Maybe I'll try OpenComposite and OpenXR (which I already have for MSFS) and see how it goes. I'm running on VR Ultra for ED and as I said it runs well and I'm certainly happy with how the game plays and looks.
yeah I need to go back to that tbh.
hmm i do have a Quest 2 and seriously considering getting a Reverb G2 ... since I play ED exclusively in VR
i really would like to have a sharper image, but on the other hand seeing the pixel-planets when passing by (even on the screen) makes me think this may not be worth the investment since 4.0
I run ED on a E5-2667 with 32Gb Ram and a RTX2060 Galax Super with 8GB Ram ... set everything static in the ocolus settings..
the picture/performance is actually pretty good. (until steamVr starts to "think" of course that is
)so I guess since your rig massively outperforms mine, I just forget about the G2 then?
