We know full VR is already there for legs in EDO so why not let us use it and label it as an indefinite beta?

By now, we all know that a little handiwork with the camera suite allows us to potter around in the equivalent of full VR when on legs in EDO (and it is great!). What we can't do is engage with the environment with tools etc without switching back to 2D. It seems pretty clear that the issue is frame rate etc. Full VR on legs is pretty jerky, but surely the VR community would accept full VR in beta knowing that issues with performance mean VR may never be anything more than sub-optimal. I'd take that.
 
My wager is that displaying VR on foot is not the issue. If you use a non-VR head tracker such as a Track IR 5 you’ll notice immediately that when using it on foot the weapon and crosshair and hud easily get out of whack and aren’t on target or linked to each other and the weapon can easily be shown in other parts of the screen. It can get extremely unwieldy when iron sighting too.

so food for though that ‘VR’ isn’t the issue but instead the hud and that’s not an issue issue to fix. I hope they can though.

The hacky VR legs thread is always available if you wanna push for this kind of thing ;)


We reached out to the CMs asking for more alterations to the VR vanity cam recently (first person default position, increased interactivity for those in VR alone etc).

No response unfortunately, despite the thread having record community support etc. But they have tinkered with the vanity cam view a few times, so possibly they could be persuaded to do so again ¯\(ツ)/¯

And they wondered why we used to call them Deaf, The funny thing is they made the deaf version of fdev a word that triggered the swear filter....
 
I'm sure Braben thought that the VR "fanatics" would quietly go into the night. Funny how the flame is still burning though...
 
That’s ok…. I am just enjoying DCS in VR, from the other ED. And, of course, the oh so pretty MSFS. This ED can fade, I got better alternatives now. This ED is no longer the only non-tech-demo VR game in town.
