I want VR in a gyro chair lol
I play ED on a PC (with GTX1080ti) and a PS4 Pro (on high quality setting) - two separate accounts.
Both use my 32" BenQ 2560x1440 60hz monitor.
I honestly can't tell them apart.
PS ok, Just had a more detailed inspection than I usually bother with and there is noticeable drop in frame rate when inside a station on the PS4.

I love it, Cedar Point- the #1 coaster park is not far from where I live.
Try it in VR....despite all the issues with the game, in VR it's truly amazing!!!
If you had played ED on PS4 Slim for 2+ years before switching to PC, then odds are you would see it. As for those who say the PS4 looks as good as a PC with 1080ti graphics card, well I suggest they get a new monitor or new glassesI have a PC....& Elite?!
Nope! 'Not seeing it!
Yeah I know but I don't have any room on my recliner for a laptop, and I don't want to hassle with drivers etc. anymore.
We have a pretty good laptop but we don't use that for gaming.
I like what I got now, a couple hundred euros for a new console every so many years is okay too, the Scarlett looks very promising imho.
I've never had any real issues with the Xbox either and I love their Gamepass, so many games for just a couple euros.
I've got it hooked up to my Dolby Surround and it sounds great, movies too btw.
Live outages are becoming a bit of a nuisance though lately.
I've tried vr at my cousin's house and it's definitely not for me, ugh, I never got seasick before, now I know how it feels I think.
The only thing I miss is a good flight sim and my Hotas but my comfy chair, a scotch and a big tv more then compensate for that.
When you try ED in VR I think "freaking amazing" will become somewhat of an understatement.
I used to bounce between console and pc every few years now I just do both. I'm a grown ass man like most of us so I choose to spend my leisure budget on gaming. I have a desktop(rtx2080), my daughter has a laptop(gtx1060), and we have an Xbox one and a RiftS. What I currently hate about console gaming since solid state drives came down in price is load times...drives me nuts. Once the new consoles hit that will most likely go away but right now playing Gears5 on the console is painful at times.
As for elite, nothing beats the VR experience if you're core mining or battling in a rez site but for the grind flat screen is the way to go simply because you can utilize other monitors so much easier. And for the record no console will ever touch a high end PC but, as someone else pointed out, you get what you pay for.

I love those older amps and speakers and they sound incredibly well.
I used to have a seperate components stereo set too, a very nice Scott lamp amp with Dovedale Speakers, later I bought some nice Magnat speakers.
My wife wanted that big tower and huge speakers out of the living room so no I've got a nice Bose surround set, sounds okay but not as my old stuff though.
Ugh the good old days......
Barry, hit the lights....it’s boner time
The new non-complaining Old Duck scares me. Its like i've fallen into an alternate reality.
I'll just go check Robert Maynard's posts to make sure in this reality he isn't a hardcore ganker.
i got for my xb1s an external usb3 ssd and moved the ED install on ssd.
It shaved about 1/3 out of startup time and i can swear the jumps are faster too (that might be placebo tho). Not stellar improvement, still an improvement tho
I've been using the DS4 without any third-party software in ED with just the official sony dongle.
ED recognizes it and shows the correct button icons and everything, wireless or not.
Most other games will work with DS4, but still show Xbox icons. Seems ED support for DS4 is pretty native already (I refuse to use mapping software with DS4 controllers).
You will need the dongle though, but after that you will also see some DS4 specific controller mappings show up in the ED controls section.

What is this dongle you speak of? Right now I'm plugging my DS4 directly into my laptop via USB, and it's fully supported by Tomb Raider and Paladins, but not seen at all by Skyrim (the only games beside ED that I currently own on PC). Now ED does see my DS4, but not as a DS4, at least not when it comes to showing the proper icons or recognizing the touch pad and gyroscopic headlook. It's these things I really miss.
EDIT / UPDATE
Okay, I researched this dongle and supposedly it's just for using the DS4 wireless instead of wired, which I don't need. So now I'm left wondering, why doesn't ED see my wired DS4 as a DS4? I have a one potential answer to this... Time to try an experiment!

The tallest tower on the largest (round) ports are 2 km high. That's why you can be flying at airplane cruise altitude and feel like you're almost on top of the pad.
Anyway, true the game is indeed extremely pretty, it's the main reason (and together with the pleasant flight model, the only reason) why I still play it every now and then, and the main reason why atmo planets is the missing feature I want the most..
People who defend their platform as inherently superior to all others, free of evidence but fueled with obsession, should always be ignored. Especially if they're grown adults.
Although, that said, the Spectrum was clearly superior to the C64, I won't change my mind on that.
No, the Xbox One X is equivalent to a modern mid-range PC. The PS4 doesn't seem to be as optimised.
It's a full Elite experience on either console, we just don't have 3D goggles or desks.
Try setting the display to 120Hz and bringing the graphics down to high/custom. You could well push 120fps with that GPU. In Elite, the difference isn't that pronounced, but in other games, especially fast-paced ones, the increase in fluidity is really noticeable.
