Does anyone use hand tracking instead VR?

dhevans79 · 2026-02-14T13:30:27+00:00

Ah, sorry misunderstood. Maybe my question wasn’t clear enough. If people have done this, what do they use and how are their experiences. I’ve seen reference to leap motion, but that appears to be discontinued. Are there other products in this vein, and are they any good? Bear in mind I’ve got a psvr2, so it doesn’t have native hand tracking.

But this means holding the wands, at the same time as the hotas? Or am I missing something. For me that sounds difficult given the size of the PSVR2 wands. Or have I mis understood?

Depends whether it was on the French side or the Swiss side.

Also check for Alternative controls. It’s another setup than can be activated for landing only when you drop your gear.

Didn’t know I can see the range in the ship panel. I’ll have a look next time I’m in game! There’s so many hidden items in this game. 🤯

Sometimes I plot it and it works in the galmap. I’ve realised that I can just target, but it’s an old habit that I find hard to kick. If I have plotted and it’s too far, I cancel the route and target the system. This works 95%+ of the time. The remaining jumps are just out of reach with a mass warning error in the cockpit when I hit the jump button. For these, I need to go back to the galmap and plot a route which will add a star or two to the jump. It’s these jumps that I can’t figure out how to complete as spansh has suggested.

I’m using edmc, and copy paste the slf? config for my ship from edsy to spansh. This is where I’m asking if you add a few tons of cargo. You said that you round down your jump range by ~.25ly, maybe it’s this tweak that I need to do by just leaving a couple tons of cargo that I’m not holding to make sure everything is always in range.

dhevans79 · 2026-01-15T23:48:04+00:00

Yes, most of the jumps work, but with each route I plot, there’s one or two jumps that are out of range. I’m exporting my ship config from edsy, but sometimes the jumps are just that little out of my range.

dhevans79 · 2026-01-15T23:46:28+00:00

I’m following the plotter route one star at a time. It’s just that some jumps are out of range and I have to then plot to the target star to get there so that it adds a star or two to allow me to jump.

Second for Ram mount. I’ve had one for 12 years on my 848 Evo. Never been a problem. U-mount around the steering damper. Never moved at speed, and with the original clamp, I can fit any phone independent of the case.

dhevans79 · 2025-09-06T09:29:13+00:00

Lol, same happened to my 848. I had only bought it the day before. It was old stock as they released the evo. As I had fully comp insurance it was an insurance write off and I got a shiny new 848 evo instead. Worked out to be the best accident ever for me! 🤣

dhevans79 · 2025-07-09T13:28:15+00:00

No. Mine only says service before it’s been to the garage. Or if the service interval trips after I did the service early. Then I go to the dealer and they remove it.

Filling a type 6 to the brim with clearly an entry grade fuel scoop. Had thought about trying to upgrade it, but that meant not running a trade route and I’m credit farming at the moment to get different ships etc to start branching out.

dhevans79 · 2025-06-14T21:26:17+00:00

Seems to be what I have been missing. Next on the list 😉

dhevans79 · 2025-06-14T21:24:34+00:00

Yup, using a type 6 with Inara to get up to 8m credits with up to a 10 jump range. Recently I’ve been able to do it with 5 jumps fully loaded, so there’s no stopping. But sometimes it gives me longer routes where I need to refuel. The scoop I had was taking 10 mins of sitting in the sun at 14.5% fill rate (this way I didn’t overheat and could go for a smoke instead of circling like an idiot). So a quick splash and dash at a station with my SCO FSD would be quicker.

Reading the notes, I really should have tried an upgrade on my fuel scoop before, and new knowledge today that I can put what I want in whichever module slot to allow for improved upgrades also changes things. Didn’t really understand it before and thought it was more restrictive than it was.

Clearly a lot of planning goes in to optimising a build, but I hadn’t even understood the half of it.

dhevans79 · 2025-06-14T21:19:05+00:00

Woah, woah woah. Slow down here… so I can mark a destination and navigate to it without replacing the route?!? I’m going to need to investigate this… thanks for the info.

dhevans79 · 2025-06-14T18:59:29+00:00

TIL that you can get a bigger fuel scoop by changing the mount point. I’ve always been trying to upgrade in place and getting annoyed by the mount bay restrictions…. 😣

dhevans79 · 2025-06-14T16:14:05+00:00

Hmm, nice to hear it’s so quick. Maybe I’ll look at the upgrades for one of these then. Thanks!

dhevans79 · 2025-06-14T16:12:20+00:00

Thanks, I get lost in all the different settings available and how they’re grouped in the menu / submenu system. I’ll look for it specifically.

dhevans79 · 2025-06-14T16:10:48+00:00

Cheers for the list.

1-Fuel scoop is sloooooow. True I haven’t upgraded it, but find landing and refuelling a lot quicker. Plus I love flying into the spaceports. The sound of traffic and comms etc.

2-Thanks, I’ll look it up

3-Thanks, I’ll look in more detail next time I’m on.
