I picked up Odyssey on sale and i am loving it in VR. For $10, it's worth it just to exit the ship and walk around on planets in the third person / over the shoulder view of the CMDR or in first person view through free cam.. It's nice to just hang out in the concourse and watch ships arrive and depart.

For those who may not know, this is done simply by entering the camera suite, then hit numpad 1-8 to change views. Then just walk around with mouse and KB, or xbox controller. Now, you obviously cannot play the full on foot experience this way. To actually play and interact on foot, you need to jump back to the 2d screen. However, for me, i am really enjoying just hanging out in space.

I do hope Frontier can expand on this one day...maybe with ship interiors. :D :D

I would also love to see a simple option, for just beeing able to switch into full VR mode in 1st person view and simply have my HUD still displayed in my view (with the capability to turn it on and off).
I would not necessarily need a full fletched VR solution with motion controller support and perfect VR optimized UI and stuff. Just a simple option, to do literally, what people are currently achieving with camera suite, but this time with full functionality of course, so we will really be able to play all on foot content in full VR view. I don't know why this could be hard to implement, since with camera view it is almost in the game already? Is there a possibilty, that FDEV is adding this in the future? Have there already been any statements regarding this topic?

I have seen nothing official in my searches. They certainly could make a decent on foot VR experience if they put a week of work into it. Just a basic on foot VR hud would do it for most people, and then they can just use a controller or mouse/KB as normal.

Fingers crossed for this one day, but for now, i am having fun as is with the camera suite on foot VR workaround.
