To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Heya folks, I had a go on Elite at the weekend at Eurogamer expo. Frontier had a huge setup - each station had a couple of joysticks for controls and a few had Occulous rifts. Sadly I didn't get to try the with the Occulous, but I can see how well it translates to Elite. The joysticks they had were the same as the ones in the cockpitin the game, so if you have a Rift on it looks like those are your hands.
Elite is tempting me to go whole hog at some point and get an Occulous + Joysticks. I can imagine it being the most immersive 3d experience ever.
Just for a bit more comparison, the Occulous is being used mostly in FPS games where the character you are playing is running around, while in reality you are sat at a desk mashing buttons. In Elite your sat in a cockpit - basically a desk staring at monitors and mashing buttons - it'll harmonize nicely with your real actions so the hands in the game will feel like your own hands.
