Not able to see purchased ship skins in VR

So I standup and look out of my Sidewinders front window to take a look at the nice new ship skin I purchased. What do I see? The default ship skin still applied!!! Worse still if I look out of the side window and to the rear of my ship it seems like you forgot to texture it at all!!!

Very immersion breaking and disappointing to say the least. Any plans to fix this? Oh - and every ship in game seems to be piloted by invisible commanders... Would be nice to get up close to another ship and be able to see it's commander (not being able to is also quite immersion breaking)!
 
Ah thanks, forgot to log that one as a bug. If you stand up enough in the cockpit and look behind at the rear of the ship it has no texture (painted or not), looks terrible lol.
 
Welcome to the world of VR development. Inclusion of VR will break most true and tested optimisation tricks unless you design for it from the start. If you have EuroTruck simulator, start it up and lean out of the window. You will find that you are driving a floating cab. There is no exterior to be seen...at all. :D
 
Yeah - was quite disappointed about this when I bought the Cobra wireframe Skin.

It's not so much of an issue with the Cobra, Sidewinder or Viper as it only becomes really apparent when you stick your head through the canopy, which shouldn't be possible in the first place as it can be abused as an exploit (I'll ticket that at some point, but the devs have more pressing issues to deal with atm) but in the Eagle (and e.g. later the Asp), it definitely is an issue because the skin can be seen from within the cockpit.
 
I logged this ticket ages ago. I think its still open so they must be aware of it and haven't had a chance to fix it yet.
