mcwaffles2003 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Haven't seen a thread on this topic in here so thought I'd bring it up. Personally I'd like to experience sitting on my living room floor and putting together a ship/jet/anything with my hands and be able to walk around it and inspect it. I'm not a programmer but, naively, I don't think this would be hard to bring into the game. Also, sitting in the cockpit would be really fun to experience. I just found out KSP 1 has a mod thats been finally updated for 1.12.3+ and will give the flight and when I'm done working today I'm going to give it a try. Either way, I know I'm not the only one. EDIT: I have edited the poll, the intention of the options was to find where preference was for where VR would be wanted most. At the time of changing the poll was: 15 respondants (multiple choice) 9 5 6 EDIT 2: changed poll title to clarify that there is no timeframe implied EDIT 3: added apathetic option 14 - 7 - 9 (25 voters) Edited February 3, 2023 by mcwaffles2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vl3d Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) It's not a priority. Good, detailed and functional flight decks / cockpits should come first. Edited January 28, 2023 by Vl3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those are a prerequisite for VR support. As for the main question, i think both building and flying would be nice. I don’t have VR myself, but people I know who do say that NMS gave them a better feeling of space travel than anything else they’ve tried, simply because of the immersion. Having KSP in VR might be the best representation of space travel as a whole in that medium. Sure there are very realistic space walk games and probably others that cover different aspects of space, but I bet that none deliver the combined realism, scope, and fun that KSP has to offer.

Catto Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I have glasses, but not contacts. I can't fit my glasses on over a vr headset, and the thought of sticking a thin tiny lens in your eye freaks me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sympathize about contacts, got lasek cause burning my eyes with lasers is somehow les freaky to me... That said, quest 2 comes with a spacer to make room for glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephensan Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 you forgot an option "i got VR, i want VR but i don't think its necessary as of right now to implement a feature like this" or idk just a "other" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see the feature dude I am not asking this be in the game at launch or even at 1.0, never said anything like that or about time...

No, it wouldn't fall into i don't want VR support to this game.. in your initial response of this topic there is zero statement of what you said in the second part. im interested in VR, but the complete undertaking making it a playable vr and not just "oh just off set the second eye by XYZ, and make it so you cannot walk and you are locked in position, is another thing. there is mutable types of "implementation of vr" and how much time, i would rather have a decent VR support with graphic changes, controller cockpits etc. than just a VR visual port with zero optimization.

So you do want VR then ? You're making this question much more in depth than it's meant to go. There is not meant to be any implication of time of implementation, manner of implementation, etc... yes------------ more so for flying? / \______more so for building? Just do you want vr? \ no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use VR, it's just uncomfortable, and with just nearsightedness you might be able to adjust the focus by changing how far the headset is from your face, but I also have nearsightedness and an astigmatism and my prescription is barley to low for contacts so to use VR I have to deal with the tiny nose things digging into my face.

There's a company out in Germany that makes prescription lens inserts for common HMDs. They fit into place over the inbuilt lenses and let you take off your actual eyeglasses. Around 100 dollars, including shipping to NA, not cheap but considering prescription spectacles here typically cost from $200 to $800 it's remarkably affordable.

LordJuice Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I personally would love to see this. If it was possible to do third camera person (like standard ksp gameplay) but in vr, that would be the coolest thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshSteW Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I mean, saying "No, I don't want VR support in the game" is bit stronger than I'd like to put it. I'm not interested in it, and would never use it, but I'm not against it being there for others to use? That option makes it seem like I'm campaigning for it not to be in the game, but I'm not, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandaman Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm apathetic. I think it would be a good, interesting and worthwhile addition. But if it never happens then so be it, no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
