Switching between VR and "Cinema Mode"

[Troz]

Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere - I'm no longer the most assiduous reader of these forums. If this is a duplicate, then I'd appreciate it if a mod would merge it into the appropriate thread.

I note that the solution to VR and Odyssey was to switch to a form of in-HMD cinema mode when leaving the ship on foot. OK, fine. Although I look forward to wandering around stations, I don't expect to play much of the FPS content - there are other games for that.

But I wonder if any thought has been given to allowing switching modes at other times. For example, I would appreciate being able to switch to cinema mode to avoid the horror that is the Galaxy Map in VR.

There’s nothing more been said as far as I’m aware - either play on the in-helmet flatscreen or remove the HMD and play on the monitor.

It’ll be interesting to see if removing the VR goggles at other times enables standard monitor play.

Although I quite like the GalMap in VR I’d much prefer the FSS to be the same as the desktop version with all the zoomy transitions - that’s one thing I’d be happy to use as a cinema-mode screen, there’s hardly any stereoscopic effects and no benefit to headlook anyway when using it.

Yup!
