EDDI VS elite-vr-cockpit

GitHub link

Alternatively, because Elite doesn't bother to tell you why, download and use a program called EDDI. It will tell you why you aren't able to dock. If it's purely betno pads are available, just wait. It will tell you if the size requirements aren't right either.

If you are exploring in the black, mapping new systems, you would also need to run something like EDDI or EDDLite configured to send data to ESDM.net for the best experience.

It is still best to use something like EDDI or EDDLite to send data EDSM but ICARUS Terminal will blend that data with your local scan data to provide real time updates to a second screen as you explore when using a Discovery Scanner, Full Spectrum Scanner or Surface Scanner.

This. Voice Attack + EDDI integration can do it:

GitHub link for EDDI. I love this program. It's my COVAS on steroids and is customizable to the extreme. Official Forum link for EDDI

Elite Dangerous Data Interface

EDDI as a plugin for VA which gives you access to loads of variables and statuses within VA to build commands with. For example {BOOL:Status lights on} would tell you if vehicle lights are on or off. (Note it should automatically start as plugin with VA, it can be started standalone but it's very talkative by default and will conflict with VA).

One such software is the Elite Dangerous Data Interface (EDCD/EDDI). There are others too like the EDMC. Once configured. EDDI integrates data with several different 3rd-party resources such as EDDB, EDSM, EDDN, VoiceAttack and others.

For those interested I googled and found https://github.com/dantman/elite-vr-cockpit

The CPU hit is very real though, but doing a space sim... isn't that one of the moments where having a cable or not having it is when it matters least? (btw in the off chance you don't already know it... https://github.com/dantman/elite-vr-cockpit )

u/Enex description how to activate motion controls in VR with the help of u/danielfriesen's Elite VR Cockpit mod.

I'd also recommend HOTAS and Elite Dangerous, but if you just want to try it first there is a mod for Elite Dangerous that adds support for VR controllers. I don't know whether it still works well, but I have used it a lot in the past and it was surprisingly good. HOTAS is of course much better, but the virtual controls work fine and to me are much more fun than using a gamepad.

Elite: Dangerous with VR Cockpit steam overlay

Here you go.

This project might be of interest.

It's another low barrier to entry option for 'VR controls' in a cockpit settings; virtual cockpit interfaces. They are essentially a 3D overlay, where you position the controls over their in-game counterpart, and will allow you to interact with the cockpit without the VR animations. https://github.com/dantman/elite-vr-cockpit I think a similar system could work nicely if VR controls was a dev goal in the early phases.

elite-vr-cockpit Pretty awesome if you are into elite
