How do I use VR controls?

[aaronfranke]

My friend told me that Elite: Dangerous has VR controls now, how do I enable this? How do I set it up? I would like to use my Valve Index controllers to control the game.

motion controllers are not officially supported, only traditional controllers/sticks.

Maybe try this

My friend did not do any special setup, but his controllers are working. He has an Oculus Quest 2 being used through SteamVR. Is this a Quest 2 exclusive feature? He says this:

When I look at a specific screen, it gets selected
And I can press A and move my stick or whatever to interact with it
To control my ship, I just move the stick on my other controller

You could theoretically map a limited amount of binds to the quest 2/index/whatever controllers, but there's no motion control support without external stuff that takes time to set up.

Down the road i'd say strongly recommend a hotas for VR that is placed roughly where the in-game stick is for maximum immersion.

Elite VR Cockpit is a SteamVR overlay for Elite Dangerous.

It allows to use hands in the cockpit in VR in ED.
To controll the spaceship you just grab the flightstick and throttle with your hands.
Additionally to binding controller buttons, you can als place additional virtual buttons in the cockpit for different functions. You could have a button for landing gear, or lights anywhere in the cockpit and use your hands in the VR cockpit to interact with them.
I have used it for more then a year with valve index. Worked realy well. Though it is a bit tricky to set everything up. It requires to install virtual Joystick driver, and all functions need to be binded in game. But once all set up it works good. There is a guide on their site how to set everything up.

However it worked for horizons, i don't know if it also works for odyssey or horizons 4.0 but i assume it should work too.

Buttons and sticks on those controllers can be bound, like regular gamepad controllers. But waving hands will not work - this game does not support it.
