VR Adjust Floating Panels Position

[PXPT]

To aid in the use of VR would it be possible to have another tab on the floating message panels (Ship panel, Target panel and Comms panel) that when selected allows you to adjust the panel distance (within reason) from you as the player seated in your command chair. I.e. when the Panel adjustment tab is selected the distance of that panel can be adjusted closer or further away using the UI Panel Up and UI Panel Down controls or similar.

This will make the panels easier to read if brought closer and will allow players who have higher resolution VR headsets (future proofing) to move the panels further away. There is also the opportunity to add in any other panel adjustments on this tab.

Just earlier today I was thinking "it would be nice to be able to change the angle of those panels".

But I guess for the cockpits that can take 2 or more crew FD had to consider the positioning of the holographic elements. Can't think of a reason why they shouldn't be repositioned in single-seaters though.

I hadn't considered changing the actual angle of the panel - there you go, another option in the panel adjustment tab...

This has been discussed countless times and requested as far back the first beta of Elite Dangerous that supported the DK2.

That and the ability to properly adjust the colours of the various HUD elements (without affecting the others) from within the game settings.

No sign of Frontier ever implementing any of these unfortunately.

Maybe when more people have VR but until then we are often at the bottom of the pile when it comes to feature requests. A simple matter of effort (and hence cost) vs scope of users it would actually affect.
