Welcome and that was indeed an awesome vid

Heck, FD should hire you to do promo's.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you. I've very happy to have found the Mobius group. I hope to meet more of you in game!

Nice to see a courier in one piece......

Fantastic video, Shirokaze! VERY well done!

[MrGuarnere]

Awesome video, great music choice too!!

Does the interior HUD colour depend on the ship you are in or is that customisable regardless of ship?

Also, that video has made me wanna buy TrackIR now, so thanks! Wife will not be happy!!

HUD colour is a config file tweak (should be in the tips and tricks section).

It's a little wonky and will require either just copiying someones colour settings or a lot of trial and error.
Also, if you can I would hold off on getting TrackIR (I know it's tempting) but just in a few months the VR googles are going to hit hard, and the trackIR 5 costs half as much as the guesstimate price for the full Oculus, and that's headtracking and a new higher res screen as well

Good thinking Batman! Can you imagine VR headset and ED! That would be so awesome, with the HOTAS you are using superimposed onto the screen so you can still see the buttons you are pressing or something

Nicely done, Shirokaze

I've posted the video on my local FB gaming group page, I'm sure it will get ED a few more raw recruits.

... and I'm about to try out EDFX too, as I have a decent rig (i7/12MB/HD7990) so why not max it out?

Not my kind of music though, but that's OK.

A lot of people have been playing with an Oculus devkit for some time now. And They say it's pretty fucking awesome.
If you see vids with a green HUD, that's usually because they play with an oculus devkit, the dk2 has considerably more green pixels than blue and yellow, so shifting the HUD to green incresases text sharpness etc.
I was REALLY tempted to get one after discovering ED myself, but I just had to stop myself since my geforce 960, is quite new still, and I just blew 400£ or something on my new stick-throttle-pedal setup..

Getting full benefit of an oculus now, means at least upgrading to a 970 or two..
That will change as drivers and games become better optimized for VR, as it is now, everything is still in beta and quite experimental.

Also VR isn't just a new screen, it's also fully 3D, and a wide field of view
God, I want one...
