Baby steps.

Baby steps.

Managed to get Elite working on my PSVR headset connected to PC in VR Mode with full head tracking lookaround goodness. Have not yet attempted walk around room type stuff as I don't have space.

Only software required is TrinusPSVR. Screen resolution seems a bit low. Blocky fonts, etc, but I haven't yet optimised anything. My controls need reconfiguring as I lost my configs so flying around has been a bit dodgy as I limit myself to the training missions for now.

Just want to confirm it works, looks amazing, feels amazing, but needs some graphical fixes. I hope that I can get it looking better if I keep playing with either ED or SteamVR settings. Anybody else doing this sort of thing?

So I didn't notice it before, but Elite's built in graphics configuration settings do a decent job in fixing problems. I increased supersampling to 1.25 which helped with text readability and I'm guessing more play is needed as I managed to get really bad frame rates by messing around with detail settings. Need to watch some more youtubes! Besides the graphics, it is absolutely essential to map a key to reset the HMD orientation in the controls settings menu (probably under miscellaneous).

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night.

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night. We had barely met and there we were suiting up and using our limited funds to buy guns, ammo and gear for the mission we'd been thrust into. It wasn't an honour we'd earned. Others had died, we were next. There were no reinforcements. Nobody was coming to save us. In fact, quite the opposite was true. We were going in to rescue a squad who were sheltered and taking fire. They had sustained heavy losses and couldn't hang on much longer. We headed purposefully down the streets, checking our guns and making sure we had our grenades and medpacks on standby. It was brutal, but we made it to the rendezvous, battling past waves of patrols sent to stop us. We were in trouble, but there was always a teammate to lend a hand or a hail of bullets. Somehow we made it. Learning to watch our for each other and keeping a wary eye out for signs of sniper activity. We scavenged more ammo and m
