I just spawned a Titan in a hangar, took off, flew around an asteroid, landed back in the hangar.
And in 30 years of gaming, that was one of the top 5 experiences I've had.
The scale of the hangar, ships, and scene is just brought to life.
There's a detail/vibe to the colours and the whole look of the scene that flatscreen doesn't render the same.
The MFDs felt so natural to how it would feel controlling a spacecraft.
Flight is transformed, coupled mode, boosting, cruise, it just felt natural.
Landing in VR is something else. Approaching upside down so the hangar is above you for full visibility then rolling 135 degrees upwards to land perfectly in the middle and flat felt like poetry.
Getting VR to work with Virtual Desktop Streamer was no effort at all, it just worked!
And this is with the current game: with Vulkan improvements, QoL to features, and polish this will be simply magical.
I'm not sure I could PvP in it, but missions, grinding, story, exploring, VR all the way!!
(Quest 3 + wifi6e + Virtual Desktop Streamer)
Not sure you will see this, but if you do... bravo, and thank you.

As you say the MFDs are super clear and easy to use, imagine once we have touch control! Even on my old Oculus CV1 it was crystal clear and 'just worked' no fuss.

I've already put like 10 hours more of use in it and many more to come. My only complaint would be lack of color vibrancy and contrast but that's more of a fault of the current VR/GPU tech, If we could get the image quality of current 4K OLED in VR I'd be looking for reasons to collect a paycheck and not have to work anymore lol.

The Cockpit is "Chef's Kiss" in almost every ship I fly, and the immersion, with HOSAS, it's butter, and OMG, you feel like you're flying. Then you start wandering around some of the areas, and you start noticing all the love and detail the artists put into this game. The way the front of the Alpha Wolf-22 curves as you're looking out the canopy - the details in the med centers in New Babbage. The textures - CIG take my $$$$ - this is my GAME!

I will also agree that the MFDs work with VR in a way that's pretty magical, though I really need to get rid of my old flatscreen instincts. I had a pretty hard time clicking on some of the arrows, especially under time pressure.

Have ordered a Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise and am giddy as a kid to try it out. However great asteroid mining is with the Tobii, doing it in VR is a wish come true.

Btw I use the Meta Horizon Link and with that it also works just great. It also gave me a performance boost to plug my main monitor back to the iGPU instead directly into my Nvidia. So the iGPU is doing all the VR video stream rendering to free up performance on the Nvidia for the game.
Not sure I understand what this last guy is saying. We can get the headset to somehow render the VR part of the game for faster performance?
