That time of year for the Luminalia freebies again.
I've only got half an eye on what's going on in the PTU currently but there's a lot of changes their tinkering with. Although it does feel they're just throwing darts at the wall a bit. Shields Civilian grade A vs Miliary has the military with 35% more health but the civilian grade A lower emissions, 1 less pip etc. All still massively subject to change. I do like the idea that there's real differences between the different components. And they're doing similar with repeaters vs cannons.

I got it working by using My MacBook and a app I found on GitHub called win2disk or something of that name.

## In case it wasn't obvious from certain dev hints on Spectrum, the "experimental feature" that will be in a coming PTU build is VR support.
In fact, it's already sorta in:
1. Create a user.cfg file with the line sys.OpenXR = 42 in PTU folder.
2. Turn on VR headset and get in (Only tested with virtual desktop)
3. Run game, in menu open command console
4. enter r_StereoMode 1
5. bind a hotkey for head tracking recenter in controls
According to people who have used it:
"flight is fully possible, FPS controls are a bit wonky, F-interaction is pretty good so far. markers are not eye-synced but HUD is. maps work too."

Not all Linux Distro's have that, at least not by default, Fedora doesn't.
Windows keeps getting worse, you Nix Veterans are going to see more and more Windows refugees coming your way, be nice to the Baby Penguins, they are just scared and confused, i know what you guys are like......
Great, thats all we need.....Not all Linux Distro's have that, at least not by default, Fedora doesn't.

Joking aside, Look for "ISO image writer" in the repos.

Ok, so I spent a couple of hours messing around in VR.
It runs surprisingly well tbh. Ship stuff and general running around is fine.
If you have any reasonable experience with VR - especially with stuff like UEVR, you'll be used to the slight drop in resolution and texture quality here and there. The immersion and scale etc usually makes up for it, as it does here.
Issues:
- No radar in cockpit
- Markers (navigation/hangars etc) are kind of fixed about 2 feet away and can be annoying and obstructive
- FPS weapon placement is bad and needs work
- Inventory is in a narrow window and definitely needs work, although it is technically usable
- FSR (I think it's FSR3) sucks. We need FSR4, although CIG TSR is pretty decent. I imagine DLSS 4 will work well for NV guys.
Ship combat is cool, aside from the missing radar.
Ship HUD and MFD's are very usable, as is the menu/mobiglass.
Using dual sticks is properly immersive if you know your mappings well.
All in all, a very promising start.
I didn't take note of FPS numbers, but I was generally fine with how it felt. It'll chug a bit at the usual places.

Ingame default all very high with CIG TSR at quality,

hopefully there will be different options configurable by the time it's released.
full VR
cockpit vr where you take headset on and off and flip to screen for FPS
and full headset on with cockpit vr and flat screen FPS within VR (bonus points if optional 3D support within the flat screen vr)

Real glass half full kinda guy aintcha?
Half full would be a result for this game.
On foot vr being much harder than flat screen isn't unique however.

Keep sipping the cool aid.
Actually that's unfair. I'm sorry I didn't realise you had an emotional attachment to the game. Which part of it are you developing?

You really are a lame try hard...
Waaaah waaaah I don't like people discussing my game if they aren't gushing about it. Then I have a little temper tantrum and call people names. Grow up.

Ok bro. Of course that's what's happening here.
