It’s compatible with Elite Dangerous, and I like it’s colour theme more this is why it looks familiar I guess.

It’s a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica, that I really like. So I try to either fly Vipers or VF-1 from Macross, what I also dig :-)

I also fly with XR (3D thanks to SBS mode). VR gives me motion sickness and has some other drawbacks [for me]. See my ViperPit videos to get an idea how that looks 👍

You know… I wondered about this before too and I tried to lower the seating position through manipulation of the Y value before and while this works to some extend => it’s not really possible to look over the fuselage any more so I guess it’s a compromise (or you’d be simply unable to aim at anything in the game).

Think I got the aspect ratio somewhat under control. It’s not perfect but much better. At this point I think it’s simply a bug of EliteDangerous. It’s like the HUD doesn’t get the rescaling memo after the intro played.

The settings make no sense to me but I can live with that. SBS (right/left side) images attached. The HUD is now at least readable and not squished too much.

That is interesting. Do I understand this correct that it has to be SBS left/right for this to work? I read conflicting reports on this.

Thing is my glasses need right/left and most of what’s on YT does simply not work when I just go fullscreen with SBS enabled so I have to drag it out of YT first and run it through Bino (or use ffplay with stereo3d filter) to “fix” this again.

This looks like if I want to make it convenient for VR I make it inconvenient for XR glasses users like XREAL and Viture users. I’m highly confused.

Oh and what about h265 or V1? The example only suggests h264:

ffmpeg -i input_file.mkv -vcodec libx264 -x264opts “frame-packing=3” output_file.mp4

Tried if h265 would happily eat frame-packing too but it’s an unknown option for it :/

I’ll take a look, thanks! SteamVR is not involved in this [that I know of]

Dunno, I hardly ever played it xD

…kidding, I like it but I tend to ignore the boring parts in games so bites me 🤷

Laughable selling this as “Improving gamer experience” breaking another existing standard.

Saying this especially from the DIY angle where custom controllers are kinda the thing.

Also lol because “competitive” gameplay. Gear always wins the day - just like in meat space.

Ah well, one good thing may come from this: Plenty of cheaper second hand controllers that I may buy as replacements to connect to my Steam Link. This one isn’t too picky when it comes to controllers. My current mix on that is a Steam Controller, a Wii-U controller and some no-name “works-on-all” wireless controller.

I want to see you play “Simon says” on this thing.

I’m not even surprised: https://wokwi.com/projects/328451800839488084

So yeah… I could 🤓 Would have to adapt this for my Mega but that’s details…

I know of http://www.novaimages.de/bridgesim/#media_images

There’s also Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator and I know at lease one guy who plays and works on a Empty Epsilon bridge.

For SC there is this madman in Florida (chrchr): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1w6eAHwfFo

So I guess you know about Hunternet Starfighter or Rixer already?

So say we all :)

At least we’ve Diaspora I guess.

my first version was cardboard too and I also call it my little fire hazard 😜 The backside is really ugly. Thanks for your comment. My 10yo self is very proud and happy that I finally built this.

funny that you’d ask: https://tube.tchncs.de/w/faN4WZixzaRqusUCn8fEpP

that’s just a video loop though 🤓

Not going to defend ED but this type of game is usually more about the journey especially with friends. Yes, the grind is unreal and also nothing for me which is why I almost completely ignored engineering so far. I do enjoy other parts of the game though.

100h? My would you look at my SC playing time: just 57h and half of that is walking back to the spaceport xD

I see. In theory that’s possible but there is no game that has this as virtual cockpit as well. I know this exists for e.g. “real” jets but it’s really not for me. Getting motion sick fast (even from shaky YT videos), wearing glasses and like drinking my beer while simming.

Mostly Fedora.

There’s always the one that can’t grasp that VR is not for everyone (or that making something is also a hobby).

Star Trek Fleet Command

Nope. I’m aware of various bridge command sims though :)

It’s just not really my cup of tea.

I edited this and removed the Markdown. Hope it shows now?

Wait… does Markdown not work for kbin too??
