ANNOUNCEMENT Odyssey: Update on VR and Ship Interiors
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
I don't want to tempt fate, but I think that once they have optimised the graphics for normal mode, and done the bulk of the bug fizing, VR could follow fairly soon after
Thanks for the heads up, FDEV! As an Elite Dangerous VR player, I am very much looking forward to a time when on foot VR matches the tremendous quality of VR in the cockpit. That will absolutely be worth the wait. In the mean time, I am very appreciative of the terrific temporary solution FDEV has come up with for VR players.
I'm having such a great time participating in the Alpha. I am only a few days in and I can already tell that a lot of love has gone into Odyssey. I really like what I am seeing and I know that there's so much more to see and do, so many wonderful things I haven't seen and done, that I will do, over thousands of hours of wonderful ED gameplay. ED players are going to get so much enjoyment out of Odyssey. Thanks, FDEV! o7

The window type of thing is the cinema mode.
It's always nice when you say "ship interiors will not be included at launch" Hopefully mean's might be coming later down the line.

Here's what Odyssey in VR currently looks like. Apologies if this has already been posted (I haven't read all 54 pages).
Note that this is one of those occasions you don't actually need a VR headset to get a pretty good idea of what it would be like.

Was that using KB/M ? I currently only use Hotas . Just wondering how to get around while in VR.
I tried to get around a station last night using the hotas: it’s certainly possible, but there are a lot of new keys to bind and I felt like I was moving slowly compared to the NPCs. I think I would still stick with the hotas though, as I’m not after fast and furious FPS gameplay anyway.
I am using the HOTAS for on foot with forward and back set to the throttle axis, it operates as centre zero which I am not used to but full forward throttle gives me a respectable jog and my usual boost button gets me sprinting. At least it allows us to use the same keys and axes for the new stuff rather than needing unique binds.
What’s with the weird oval overlay?
I don’t have that with the Rift S, just the full virtual flatscreen.
I’m doing the same, trying to keep the same settings as for flight, where I don’t have a twist for yaw, for that I use pedals. I haven’t tried combat yet - how did that go?
Not well so far but that is as likely to be down to my low skill levels and not having done anything similar since Half Life 2 many years ago.
My first and only FPS was the original DOOM in 1992.
Actually I’ll take an SRV into combat in VR, see how that goes (frame rates with my 1080 have been pretty poor so far)
Great. How did you get the launcher to start you in ODYSSEY instead of Horiozons? Cant figure it out.
