VR + HOTAS + Asp Explorer = Amazing!!!

Wait... how do you walk around the bridge, even with VR? Does your pilot actually get out of his chair???

No. But you can.
The camera simply follow the headset.

Would love to see someone capturing a video of the Cutter bridge this way.

Yes, exactly like that. Thank you.

...The impact of VR and a hotas setup simply can't be understated...

Surely you mean overstated? But I know what you mean. I'm going to have to wait a month or two before I can get the hardware (gtx1080 twin frozr) and Vive.

What pc hardware have you got, and what kind of fps are you getting in your Vive and at what settings? How about the SRV?

Fly safe you lucky so and so.

I'm running an EVGA water cooled GTX 980 and an original 2.93ghz i7. I haven't checked specific frame rates, but I haven't noticed any issues or had any motion sickness (outside of when my virus scanner started running in the background and made things go nuts). I'm using whatever the default settings were and haven't tweaked them.

Thanks. Can't wait to get stuck in (VR).

The right hand cockpit window is in the same place as my front room window in relation to my rig, My neighbours had a laugh when I appeared at the window looking around with a box on my face ^^. Questions were asked, sanity was questioned, so I let my 2 closest ones have a demo.

J is 70 ish and it blew her away, she did the Zombie balance walk (arms out and staggered lol, along with a chorus of "urrrh, ummm ahhhh" - walking dead came to mind). Both were amazed at the feeling of being in the ship.

P is a similar age and she squealed when she saw the headless pilot in a seat floating on nothing lol.

Fly Safe

So this is how the zombie apocalypse starts? Not what I expected.

[TorTorden]

All I know about the zombie apocalypse is that I am one of the first to die cause I can't run for shit anymore.

[Daniel Dakota]

eek, I can't run either, I'm fooked too ^^
And it appears I may be at ground zero !
