thank you for taking your time to read this post.
I wanted to let you know that i am using Track IR for free head movement inside ships and i really like it. (especially with the fighter ships that feature a bigger glass cockpit for more overview)
but there is two things i dislike:
- once i leave the ship Track IR is deactivated (its really arkward running around a station, trying to turn your head to have a nice look at one of those beautifull ships docking... and then he's not moving his head... :-/)
- once i sit inside a cockpit and Track IR is activated it will also change view on the UI if i move my head. So if i am looking at the map and try to click one of my ships and accidently move my head at the same time i will misclick which can be quite bothering. Also you cant sit like "lazy" inside your seat or move the head around, as that will make the Map like go really close (texture close = ugly, request for higher resolution texture there if your zooming in) or even move a big part of the map out of screen.
While that was really "nice" and immserive at the beginning it began to become a bother after some time. So i find myself mostly sitting behind my Captains seat or on any station (that hasn't any too loud and annoying background noice) to do the "Empire Work"
I would rather it would stay fixed, like part of a Helmet-Mounted-Display
Part 2 Cockpits.
Having Track-IR in mind your loosing out on some really cool stuff inside cockpits, that i am kinda missing from X:R.
And thats the integrated UI in Ship Consoles and even the UI Monitor (Empire/Map Screen) in the middle of the ship that you could just turn around over if you wanted to do something on it.
Can we get something like that again? That would feel much more immersive than the Helmet integrated UI or the Magic Map Screen that will just appear right in your face if you press M (and yes its kind of a screen as i can move my head and it will move too (in the opposite direction), not like the UI that is fixed, even if i move my head.
Hell even make that a DLC (not one that will be included in the Collectors Edition)
I would be willing to pay another €50 for more immersive looking higher Texture Resolution Cockpits with integrated UI Consoles and even more ship interior. (like different Rooms, Captains Quarters, Crew Quarters and other assets) (Auto Lifts are great and stuff, but they are not immersive)
But other then that i really have to give my thumbs up for X4.
All the stuff i was missing in X:R like real economy (no magic move.die resource sink), War between Factions, Ship Cockpits, being able to switch between ships, now its all there in X4, making me really happy.)
Just keep up the great work and dont forget the small details while looking at the big universe.
