How do you control the galaxy map in VR? It simply doesn't work with a mouse and I haven't found a viable solution yet.
The Gal map controls pretty much suck in 3D. The mouse it totally worthless. I've mapped all of the control bindings to a hat and wheel (for zoom) on my hotas' throttle stick. It took some getting used to, and is nowhere near as fast and efficient as using a mouse in a 2-D environment.
That they do. Binding navigation keys to the hotas helps. Using that to navigate to the search box, and typing a name is easier than trying to look / select with the hotas, then scroll to station, then select plot route etc.
Have also tried using the mousepad and normal screen while peeking down the gap between the vive and my nose.
There was also a menu control option to set what panels appear when you look left, right, crotch etc, and part of those has an option to have a mouse pointer in the HMD as well, separate to the on screen one, but that is slightly out of sync with the real one the last time I tried, and just as difficult to control.
TL, DR The Gal map controls pretty much suck in 3D.
