On Foot VR

[Sirlance]

I've been a long time VR player and Elite is such an incredible experience in VR so you can understand how disappointed it was when Odyssey was released and only had a 2d theater screen for on foot play, the hope was that it would eventially get fixed but that wasn't the case, Frontier seemed to think the theater screen would be good enough and moved on. I have spend lots of hours and money on this game and will continue to support the future development of Elite but please look into this for us die hards, we are not asking for motion controllers, just headlook with a UI, or at the very least have the camera suite prefixed to the avators head upon exiting the ship so that we dont get that immersion killing jarring 2d screen. I mainly avoid leaving my ship because of this and its a shame because on foot missions seem to be fun. I purchased a VR headset in 2015 specifically for the game and have spent lots of money on a flightstand, HOTAS, gaming keypad, prebuilt ships-ship kits, paint jobs and ARX. I feel I'm doing my part to help fund further development and would like to this addressed at some point. Thanks

Frontier made it pretty clear that there would be no VR development for Odyssey when it was released. Originally it was supposed to not have any VR support at all. After some backlash they offered the current compromise of keeping in-ship VR, but having on-foot content on a virtual screen.

I'm afraid for the time being, that's all we will get.
