Getting a new VR headset and dusting off the Hotas. What do I need to know after 6 years away?

VR support was dropped as of Odyssey, is what's new.

It's not been removed, but no new content is accessible via VR.

AFAIK you can play on-foot in VR. You'll just get a pancake display

Aw... Well that's less than exciting. Are there any community mods or tricks for supporting VR in the new content?

Don't think so. When you run the game in VR and go into on-foot gameplay, the game switches to displaying as a floating virtual flat-screen.

Playing that stuff with a hotas isn't the best experience anyway, it's FPS gameplay so KBM is what you want. For it to be worth playing in VR it'd have to be far more integrated, and preferably work using wand/index/touch controllers.

Don't suppose there's anything of note outside Odyssey for the rest of us?

For non-vr players?

There's a ton of changes that've happened over the years, of course. Fleet carriers, ship engineering, fighters, multi-player-crews, thargoid raids, etc.

Depending on when you last played, there's a shit-ton of stuff in the game that might be new, after all.

You make it sound like playing in Odyssey (where all the current Thargoid war action is) isn't VR. The on-foot portion is a flat display. Flying in odyssey supports vr.
