EDIT - only works well for me with Oculus 6.0.0.0, but not a problem as 6 works fine with elite (it's 6.0.0.1 that has issues for some people)
Disclaimer - the fix for Oculus' non functioning IPD adjuster requires you to update using custom firmware. I've tried it and it works great, but you do so at your own risk. If you are familiar with firmware updating this should not be a problem for you... but if it's too scary or you pull your cable out during update please don't complain to me!
So... I am a very, very happy bunny! For the first time ever I have just been sitting in my (slightly larger than usual) cockpit with a full size pilots body.
As you may know ED does not import IPD settings from oculus config... in fact many games are unable to (Alien Isolation for example) and is locked to the default IPD of 63.5. This is fine if you happen to have a physical IPD that perfectly matches but not much good for the rest of us who have to look at a tiny dolls body hanging from our neck in our miniature cobra
Note - this will fix scale in ALL oculus games, not just ED
It's done using custom firmware, I've just used it and updated with an IPD of 64.5 which seems to get the scale just right for me... trust me, this isn't a subtle difference, it's extremely noticable once you have a full size pilot.
Here is the reddit thread, simply follow the steps outlined by this chap and enjoy full scale ED.

If you get any eye strain or increased nausia then just reinstall the standard firmware... although this custom firmware may actually reduce eye strain, particularly if you also buy a physical lens seperator to go with it.
