Was enjoying the view at Farseer when someone treated me to some 1000mph flybys

Still waiting for someone with a very very fast ship to contact me

My iCourier does 505 on boost with a combat load out. I'm still working on getting the iEagle race-worthy.

 

[babelfisch]

The guy of the video was not dogfighting, was making a flyby pass! means at high speed, anyway, the ED ships dont catch a 21st century fighter! LOL

Yes, just like I said, irrelevant.

 

[ahwala]

My current goal is to get in touch with someone who has 850+ and get them to literally boost at that speed into me as I stand with the debug cam

825 here, unfortunately I'm on Xbox. ;(

I got 804 with my courrier (combat loaded, but cannot get a higer speed). I can be available on this wednesday or thursday evening.

500m/s? Pffffffh.... how about a supercruise canyon run!

(No, that is very cool. Getting more and more tempted by VR every day)

Huh? How can you be in orbital cruise down in a canyon? Was that a bug?

drkaii, quick question ... so when you're using the Oculus I gather headlook still works even in debug camera mode? (I ask because it doesn't with TrackIR)

Welp, now I want to be part of an acrobatics team again.

Wow NICE vid! Made me want to try Elite in VR again [big grin]

Great idea to stand on top of that tower in external view, I had no idea you could land there. Imagine if we could walk and there was a chance to fall down if not careful (Frontier are you reading? )

Someone should make a VR game about climbing buildings, towers etc. With insane heights, spectacular views and challenging routes

This all got me thinking about these crazy guys. Worth a watch if not seen.

VR is awesome in this game , i even sold my big monitors , too flat!

And a 21st century fighter can't even make it to the moon .. puny 21st century fighters!

Why do we have sound in a vacuum ?

FD initially tested the game without sound.
It did not work at all.
Sound adds so incredibly much to the experience.

So we now have futuristic sound emulators in our ships.
Or you can make up something yourself to explain for it .

I am glad we have sound. FD is very good at it.

[who?]

Explain!

Huh? How can you be in orbital cruise down in a canyon? Was that a bug?

Small planets have very small body exclusion zones. Which means you can often find small planets with large mountains you can supercruise between. In the case above (not my video) there may be a canyon where the sides rise high enough to be above the BEZ so you can supercruise through as long as you maintain level flight or a slight climb - otherwise you'd automatically drop you out.

Is dogfighting fun with mach 3.3?
If not it's irrelevant.

The SR-71 was not cable of dog fighting at all, it was a long range spy plane like the U2, end of story.
