I hope they fix it right before I receive my dk2.

Gaaah I hope they won't let us wait that long .....

Just ordered a DK2. I need to stay away from you guys.

Can't wait for mine

Ordered mine on the 20th though, first batch is due to ship in July. You should get yours then they have no inventory till July... Although who knows with these small scale kick starter businesses... LOL...

One of us! One of us!

Seriously it may be the end of my working life though...

DK1 is awesome, yes low rez and cant read anything in ED BUT just tootling about space looking all around is so good!!!!

DK2 with it's higher rez should mean clear reading, space spangly goodness!!!

Luckily I'm retired and have a loving girlfriend of ten years that understands and supports my insanity

I can't wait!

I will be joining the RIFT wearers when it goes retail...

+1. Hopefully my FD shares will have risen enough to pay for it and a good HOTAS

Oculus Rift - Unable to reset drift in Supercruise / Hyperspace

I am unable to reset the Oculus to compensate for drift, it resets ok in stations and normal flight

Oculus rift warning... Prize idiot!!!

I've been at this for a good while and consider myself something of an oculus pro...

I can "read" the unreadable screens
I can look through the bottom of the rift at "slopeys" trade calculator
I can drink a can of Pepsi without taking it off...
And I can press the multiplayer button when I've taken the rift off for a moment, even though the split screen writing is tiny...
Or can I ...
What's that ? Reset all Data?
Oh #*#*!
150 k lost
313 kills wiped
My beautiful pimped out eagle vaporised!
Lol
So how stupid was that!
But I do love my banged up sidewinder!

Smells a bit funny tho!

 

[Sleep]

Ah, thats sucks man! Great attitude though

 

[Malactus]

Yep, almost accidentally did that a couple of times. They really need a confirmation for the data clearing

 

[Adam Lusardi]

There is a Y/N.......but its easily done, but hopefully you can recover. Good Luck.

 

[Jimac]

I'd like to see it moved and isolated, rather than being so close to buttons you will be pushing.

 

[Freman]

Considering that the wipe data button is dead center of the screen and usually where my mouse pointer ends up sitting (either by design or accident I don't know)

 

[Dante80]

Gives us sth like that FD...

Computer: You do realize you pressed "erase all data....right?"
Me: sure....sure....just let me play
Computer: You clicked OK pretty quick....are you really sure you want me to wipe out your commander data!?
Me: crap....no.....stop!
Computer: I thought so.....
Me: Whew.....

There is a confirmation message (I am told). I have been told that the second confirmation message after you click yes once is quite hilarious!!!

 

[natte hond]

gave you a +1 for being a sport.

I think the sidewinder just feels more like home anyway... It's like a one man serenity!
The eagle is lacking character and I think the finish could be improved... Is it still a WIP?
