Hello Guys, today I was able to try out DCS and Elite Dangerous with the VIVE from HTC (It's not mine)

It was a great experience!
A bit strange because the "sense of balance" will be cheated... however...

So the question is just is someone developing support for Head Mounted Display (Oculus Rift / VIVE) for Orbiter? I think it would be great!
I only found this video so please tell me how I can find I guide if there are some plug ins etc.

i think this only looks cool in Virtual Cockpit because from outside view i think it would look awful:shrug:

Uh...yeah, that's kind of the point.

Edit: I suppose I should elaborate and not be so curt. The point of Virtual Reality headsets is indeed to put you into the virtual world. It's fantastic in virtual cockpits. A ship-centered external view would indeed be rather odd, but something like a first person UMMU view could be cool.

Only makes sense with a good concept of how to play Orbiter in VR. Just strapping the current view into a HMD will only make you feel sick quickly.
