Hi folks. I've been playing ED ever since the launch date but have waited until now to get the full VR experience. I ordered a Samsung Odyssey+ from Amazon (USA) and ended up paying around £320 all in. It is the first time I've ever donned a VR headset and I have to say that I was completely blown away at my new virtual view of the world.
So, I was keen to set up Steam so that I could see Elite in all its glory. On firing it up, I see a stunning view of my ship, moored in some enormous hanger. But it took me ages to find the console so that I could start the game. I eventually found it - around 3 meters below my feet.
I checked all the settings offered by WMD, such as play boundaries and wot-not, but they all seemed to be set properly. I set it to "Sit still mode" and set the height normally when I was sat comfortably. But it didn't make any difference. When I did eventually get the game to start, I appeared to be several meters above the top of my pilot's head - so it was almost impossible to see the left/right screens.
I even tried centering my play boundary while holding the HMD far above my head and, although it made some improvement, my virtual head height was still far too high.
Incidentally, some very old threads talked about setting height in ED with the F12 key but that doesn't seem to do anything, and there wasn't anything that sounded useful in the ED menu either.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do?
Thanks commanders!
