I certainly didn't do it for the money but more to join in and it has been great fun. I thought I would hate it but it has actually been great fun. Don't mind admitting though, I have had enough now

VR really takes ED up a notch for me and running with voice attack as well is so immersion making. ED was the sole reason I got the DK2 and the CV1. Love it.
I can now see why.
What do you use VA for? Have so many buttons on the CH HOTAS that I never need to use a Keyboard
Boost engines, request docking, next target, raiese/lower landing gear, fsd drive. Pretty basic but saves me fumbling about on my Saitek X52 and you can add loads more but I haven't as I can keep my fingers on the rudder and throttle and no need to move them. I have the ASTRA voice pack and it just adds to it basically but not essential.

Showing off to friends, mostly.
I have the CH PT&FS setup and it's far quicker to just press a couple of buttons. I even have the map trebled using the PT fingers as shift functions!
I must admit I was a super keen kickstarter backer but quick lost interest with the game on release due to the lack of content (both game content and emergent player-made)
But it's looking really good now, need to dust off my flight stick and get back into it. 2.2 looks really great.

I'm liking the sound of it for things like requesting docking. More complex functions would be of use, but I do have most things mapped to my stick and throttle for speed.
Hoping I was still in the top 50,% for that CG!

Huh?
Do what with the who?
Is this some Engineer mod you have? How are you getting this?
In the beta if you fly through the 'flares' of these stars it gives you a temp (I think?) FSD boost. Currently though its a bit bugged, pretty sure FD said it should only be a 25% boost. Still nice though.
It is more for simplicity but not really needed. I can use my stick without voice attack running and wearing the CV1 with no probs. Quite impressed with the participation of that CG as the payouts were so low. I expected it to reach tier 5 at max.

fly through the flares/radiation from a white dwarf star and it super charges your FSD and currently an 11ly normal jump range turned into a 45ly jump range when super charged.
The pull as you fly through the radiation/flare of the star can damage your ship drastically though.
My friends jump range went to over 180 ly lol

Ah, so that's what happened last night!!
I recall seeing it and going, "WOW", followed quickly by taking damage and scarpering.
I'd no idea it was there and was still recovering from the frightening discovery in the previous system that the Fuel Scoop I'd bought the other week had suddenly disappeared from my Beta ship. I wondered why I was burning up instead of filling up...
I actually logged into main game to confirm that my FS was still where I left it...!

anyone using the Ocellus VA profile and plugin, looks interesting, especially the galaxy map plotting.
Love it pal! Vive or Oculus?
