Getting a new VR headset and dusting off the Hotas. What do I need to know after 6 years away? (lemmy.ml)

Spent many hours immersed in Elite with my HTC Vive back in the day when the Beyond update dropped. Recently ordered a Bigscreen Beyond to get back into VR. Been needing to finish Alyx and put more hours into the Index wands to justify purchasing them anyhow... What's new in the past 6 years of Elite Dangerous?

Aw... Well that's less than exciting. Are there any community mods or tricks for supporting VR in the new content?

Don't think so. When you run the game in VR and go into on-foot gameplay, the game switches to displaying as a floating virtual flat-screen.

Playing that stuff with a hotas isn't the best experience anyway, it's FPS gameplay so KBM is what you want. For it to be worth playing in VR it'd have to be far more integrated, and preferably work using wand/index/touch controllers.

If you go into third person camera mode while on foot you get full VR, but you don't get a HUD.
