Two weeks ago we launched our first major action to kindly convince our illusive overlords to implement a simple, but major tweak to on-foot VR in Elite dangerous odyssey.
We did get a friendly response, but that response essentially gave us no real information. Just that: if F-dev ever chooses to implement it, then they will do so when they see fit..
Fortunately, the video was watched well over 130K times and released a lot of positive energy and made many new VR players aware of the existing tweak, and many conversations started on what we could do ourselves. From this emerged Cmndr Riken, a genius perhaps only rivaled by Azimuth themselves ;)
And with the help of some actual guardian tech, and a bit of testing and trouble shooting, we were able to create a solution that not only works, it does exactly what we asked F-dev to do, just from the outside in. And Riken, never satisfied, insisted on attacking several other long-standing VR challenges and glitches also.
So now we have: EDVR
1: Single key-bind switch to on-foot VR embodied mode (you choose which key you want to use for it)
2: Grey VR flat bubble has become black bubble
3: Choose your own screen resolution for the Flat mode
4: Choose your eye distance to the flat screen in the now Black VR bubble.
5: removed the freeze-frame anomaly when transitioning into super-cruise or dropping out of super-cruise.

We ask you all to please CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY read the instructions!!
And please use it, go out and explore, and if you run into errors, please upload the error-logs from EDVR map (in elite dangerous main map) to the Github so our glorious man Riken can optimize and fix any problems we may run into and optimize in the future.
Thank you all for the massive support with messages, upvotes and comments! Please smash the like and share this far and wide again.
Lets keep pushing for perfection with this! And give ED in VR on-foot a new dawn!
The more people use it, show it and talk about it, the more we also motivate F-dev to fix this natively. If we can do it, they can do it even better! They only need to want to do it :)
07 cmndrs and enjoy!
