For me, before was the 1440p monitor I bought for eye-candy and it worked like that, I enjoyed playing ED on it. I am a sim fan for 20 years maybe, so I did not have to buy any expensive hotas or trackIR for ED, because I already had those for some time. I still remembered myself playing Elite back in 90s, so I was really waiting for this game and in fact it was the deal breaker for me when I considered buying OR DK2. In fact, ED is the only game where I can see a good progress in OR integration and for sims, its the way I want to play for the rest of my life. I am buying it and only thing I need now is better resolution. I am maybe lucky, but I am not ever getting sick playing with OR and I have no issues with other drawbacks, my only real problem are the little dots dots dots everywhere
Btw those guys who say they do not want VR because its unconfortable to operate their smartphones while wearing it ..... facepalm ...
