I want to ask – has the problem of using the mouse in the galactic map mode been solved?
Is there any way to highlight star systems on the galactic map and move map in the Elite Dangerous game, which is running in the virtual reality of the helmets Oculus Rift CV1, Oculus S, Oculus Quest?
I don't have an Oculus HMD, but I do have a Pimax 8K.
The problem with the mouse is that it is a 2D tool but the Galactic map is a 3D environment. That is my understanding as to why the mouse doesn't work well in VR, and I don't know if that can be solved.
I use a HOTAS and in the key bindings have set up my HOTAS to navigate the map instead of the mouse.
Remember to make the grid visible on the map.
I then use my throttle to zoom in/out, joystick to pitch and yaw the galactic plane, the up/down/ side thruster buttons to move about the map, and one of my triggers as the select button. The good thing about Elite bindings is that the same keys or buttons can be used in different screens.
Is it as easy as using a mouse, NO. But I have gotten used to it now (it does take a bit of time), and I don't think too much about it now.
Probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but unless someone knows otherwise I believe that is how it is at the moment.
