Rub it in why don't ya :p. As much as I like my MS Sidewinder I do want to get both my hands on something more substantial (oo-er) :D.

(Edited multiple times for my inability to type and proof read on a smart phone. Further evidence I needed those new specs :(:D).

I've got a HOTAS Warthog, and CH pro pedals, I proper felt ill after spending like £300 on a joystick, but when it turned up, I messed myself :D

Just need more monitors now ;_; (and a payrise..)
 
This might sound like a stupid question, but where do I set Oculus mode? Oculus is plugged in and running and I've set 75Hz, but I can't find it... only "Side by side" and "Anaglyph"....

Sorted it. Found that contrary to most advice I've seen, I have to leave the OculusVR Service running in order to enable the Rift in ED.

ED with the Rift is.... something else. Resolution isn't amazing, but we knew that, but the sense of scale is still mind-blowing.

The wife spent 20 minutes being blown away (she keeps trying to reach out and touch in-game objects in the real world!) but has come away feeling very sick. She's insisting it's not related to the Rift, I hope she's right.....

If it's the DK1... I felt nauseous for 4 hours after using it for 30 mins.

Apparently the DK2 fixes that but not had a chance to try it out yet.

Are you getting judder due to slightly low fps? I had to turn down the dynamic lighting when in the rift as it was causing me to drop below the required 75fps and the judder made me feel ill.
 
Just got email about Beta 3, mining is something I was looking forward too. Still not found a CH Pro Throttle for less than £100 though :( One on ebay but says the analogue stick doesn't always self centre.
 
Anyone care to share their custom profile for the X55 ? I've never really managed to settle on a configuration I've been happy with. With the final release of ED not that far away would be great to try out some configs that work for others ..

People have been doing it on the Frontier forums. There's an X55 thread have a search, they're in there.

power management and targeting on the stick hats.

Throttle and strafe based movement on throttle + throttle thumb hats.

The rest fills in as you feel comfortable. I use trackIR5 so Don't require all the head movement and panel control stuff.
 
I keep getting stuck in hyperspace between Dahan and Eranin. At this rate I will need the a macro to play the Lost in Space theme every time I Ctrl-Alt-Del my way out.
 
Made some more progress on my CP-1 command seat.

Worked on the casing for the HOTAS. Started on the throttle.

Pieces cut for the main section:





Everything will be smoothed of with filler before covering in vinyl:



Side pieces cut and shaped:





Internal face routed to accept rubber inlay:



I'll use this material:



Side panel upright:

 
Just bought a type 6, making 100k per run on cargo deliveries atm, although could get more if I knew where to go,

Any other people hauling?
