when will VR be activated in Odyssey?

[Rat Catcher]

Sure, but there's no difference.

Ok...

The majority of developers are gone

Source?
Or just the usual speculation on staff departures?

or moved from EDO project.

As it isn't, allegedly, in preparation for further expansion, there would probably only be a very small team working on updates etc. So probably accurate - as staff are allocated onto active projects within Frontier (Source: Frontier communication during the development of EDO)

Maybe I’ll come back and play Horizons again in VR. Probably not for a while though as I’m really enjoying Cyberpunk in VR using the Luke Ross mod and the expansion’s about to land.

don't worry, I wasn't going to ask any questions.

I don't think anyone who replied is a frontier developer.

Would it be so complex if someone who does know about it and works on frontier could tell us something?

No offence but all these "opinion" exchanges between us are useless.

The one developer who did VR (as a side-project) left years ago.

It's time to remove that horrible gray border from the vr view in odyssey and implement vr in odyssey.
what does frontier think about all this?
could someone in charge tell us something about it and give us a closed and safe deadline for its implementation?.

Thanks

Since FDev themselves did make a public statement on the matter of continued VR development quite some time ago, you can kiss that idea goodbye. It is not going to happen. The only option you have for on-foot-exploration is to find a comfortable location for the camera of the Free Camera Suite. This will give you a somewhat enjoyable experience, but will never be on par with other similar gameplay methods like No Man's Sky has for example.

If on-foot-combat is not for you (it isn't for me), then Camera Suite is the way to go. There used to be a glitch that made it possible to place the camera in the head of the commander... I tried quite a lot but it seems fixed. Shame.

Exactly. It's SO close. The engine supports it. They would probably only need to tweak the HUD a bit for VR and that's it.

As example, I always mention Proton War as an example of seated VR with mouselook, zero motion sickness.
