Actually I misspelled it, looked at it and thought "alpha - aloha - potato - potato""to fix the aloha"
I'm not the only one who's phone autocorrects "alpha" to aloha!
Simple question about VR

To add to what Ratcatcher has said, I’ve only been able to confirm about 30% of the issues listed, which is frequently the case. Many bugs are hardware and driver dependent, or require rather unique circumstances. It’s one of the reasons I’ve always rolled my eyes at people who insult Frontier’s (or anyone else’s) QA department as if they’re not doing their job. They don’t have access to the huge variety of PCs out in the wild. Which is why I always make sure to test my machine’s performance when I get the chance.Sorry if I came across as calling you a liar, I'm not, I'm just double and triple checking before a potential purchase.
The reason I'm surprised is because of the thread that lists a bunch of issues.
Yes, there are issues in Horizons eg billboard smoke and lack of second level orbit lines in the FSS but to my knowledge, everything renders correctly in VR .Odyssey VR specific bug reports - please contribute!
All VR related issue reports since Odyssey went live are collected below. Please add confirmations on the reports that need it and add votes as you see fit. Also, if you’ve voted for the issues that have been fixed (but not marked as “Fixed” on Issue Tracker) then please move your vote...forums.frontier.co.uk
The reason I mentioned SRV is because of the abovementioned thread where there are a couple issues involving shadows and rock scatter, I mess about in the SRV all the time and there's not those issues in Horizons.
I will find fault in Frontier’s management’s repeated failures to do any long-term testing with the community, especially when it comes to providing testing incentives. I can’t test my rig if I don’t have an opportunity, and I’d spend time testing aspects of the game I’m not interested in if I had reason to do so.
I'd be perfectly happy to 'test' the game updates before they get released, I have plenty of 'free time' to offer! My PC is pretty high-end, laptop lower mid-range, so a balanced arrangement to offer.
I'm always happy to support tickets where I can see the issue, I'm never entirely sure if it my own lack of observation or just good luck when I 'miss' quite so many
May I ask what headset you're using, what GPU and what resolution you have for EDO?
I don't care for "full VR implementation", all I want is decent VR performance in the cockpit.
Of course: GPU is Radeon 6900 XT and I play in 4K pancake. Headset is the Valve Index.
But do you already have Odyssey ot not?
Do you honestly believe it would make any difference?
There is a greater likelihood of people not buying EDO due to performance issues, rather than the tiny niche who play in VR not getting a full. on-foot implementation.
VR is the one wow-factor that Other Game doesn't have, they really shouldn't be treating it like dirt.
Didn't they mention it was going to be introduced some years ago... Maybe "soon"?
Yes. It would be awesome if Empyrion Galactic Survival added VR, though I wouldn't hold my breath.
With regards to SRV driving, that is my primary test when I try Odyssey after each update. If you drive at speed, it is still unplayable. Rocks render right in front of you. Lighting is all over the place. The surface is continually shifting. I don't have performance issues, but then I have the hardware to chuck at it.
Horizons does have issues, but they are so minor that it doesn't affect my SRV driving.
This was my most recent test:

Well recently there's a lot of interest around VR... see the metavers. There are companies that started to develop a lot for VR, including apple. So Braben's idea of VR is becoming very anachronistic.
I don't mean that VR should be a priority now but it should definitely get a higher priority on fdev roadmaps since it is already in the game.

I think he's decided to follow the path of the Dodo.
What? Being eaten by a bunch of selfish humans who cannot think further ahead than their next meal?
Sounds about right!
Is that those odd people who try to live in the metaverse in vr? Genuine question mate.
Which has next to nothing to do with games and is just Facebook dystopian world building.
I don't know how it works tbh. I don't care too much about social networks but there's definitely something odd about it. But I've noticed a lot of new VR development following this new social.
Like it or not we live in a world driven by the money and a lot of money is now going to vr.
Braben has got a cow that's just waiting to be milked.
