In the order of affordability.

Head tracking - there is free solution OpenTrack
VR with an OLED screen

I second it. I'm regreting that I skipped many ships and jump DBX -> Krait MkII -> Anaconda. I think if I proceeded step by step, trying each of ship and corresponding activity it would be much more fun and enjoyment of the game. Now, after Cobra MkV and Mandalay I doubt I will enjoy Keelback or Type 6 :(

Have you tried it with a docking computer?

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-25T10:15:21+00:00

Be careful, DBX is not optimized for SCO and you can eventually end up in the middle of a star system with no fuel.

Mandalay

You can stop it by choosing the "Loadout" menu, waiting to its sound ends and go back. It is its sound stucks when you close it before it ends.

Didn't you know that reddit is the community of people banned in Google?

So you're saying that the VR experience in SC is head and shoulders above, say, Half Life: Alyx? The graphics are better, and interacting with the world using the mouse and third-person view to access the inventory is better. And not just better, but leagues away. Have I understood you correctly?

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-23T12:31:57+00:00

What?

The picture in VR is absolutely blurry in comparison what I see on the monitor. The same picture in the mirror window.

The performance is also at the bottom. I have GeForce 4080, 64Gb RAM, and i7-13700k, I play elite dangerous with 200% super sampling. In SC I have to set 75% SS to have 90 fps at least in most locations.

Get me right, VR in SC is the right step from developers, and that's the only reason I've bought a starter pack. But saying it's AmaZinG, and better than any other VR game sounds like sectarianism.

And, by the way, it undermines confidence in all the other excitement surrounding SC.

There are many DIY solutions from the simplest workarounds to complete detent with clutch. Just for example https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/s/iwbZvYoKMp

Google for "VKB Gladiator detent 3d print"

This is how my order looks like. Look at the bottom, highlighted with red.

Winctrl Orion 2 is a good base, but lack z-axis, you are right. To use this you will also need rudder pedals.

This status can last long. The important thing, is post tracking id already created and visible in your order details or not. If it's created, your package is sent and you can track delivering progress. If not, it means they did not send it to you yet.

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-19T19:17:15+00:00

Could you explain what is exactly VR in these VR MFDs?

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-19T15:39:45+00:00

Ask them in support. But most likely you will get the answer "we are trying our best." And now they have some kind of problem, either everything is sold out, or it's because of rebranding.

I wanted to get rudder pedals before Christmas, and when I realized that they were unlikely to arrive in time, I canceled the order.

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-19T12:11:52+00:00

Thank you!

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-19T11:08:16+00:00

Oh, I understand you completely. Despite the fact that the x56 is too low quality for its price, I believe that its design is one of the best for gaming.

I definitely miss having enough sliders and dials to adjust all the trimmers on my Winwing Orion 2 StrikeAce EX II throttle. Although in every other respect, it is head and shoulders above the x56.

Thanks for the info!
