I've been thinking about TrackIR as well. Oculus is pretty expensive currently, and I've read that it's pretty easy to build your own version of TrackIR. Plus, I mess with too much stuff to be totally enclosed visually with the Oculus. Notes on my desk, the keyboard, alt-tabbing to various IMs, websites, etc.

Oculus is new technology, and honestly, not that useful right now for any sort of flight based games since you can't see your damned physical controls and keyboard easily.
I have a TrackIR and while it took me a pretty long time to get it configured and comfortable it's indispensable for any flight sim I own. That being said I found Elite to be quite playable without one since the cockpits are generally pretty visually restrictive and you have a radar telling you where other craft are anyway. In a 109 (or even a warthog) with steam gauges it's a damned miracle. |

Ok, this looks interesting...I've been looking for something new to play, I'm about sick of fantasy MMO's and RTS games. Thing is, I've never played a flight sim...how's the learning curve for an utter noob? I can already tell that a HOTAS+TrackIR setup is gonna be the business...I don't mind laying out the cash if I really enjoy the game...and as a retired old fart I sure have plenty of time to play 
I'd just buy a cheapo stick with the twist feature (for the rudder). As long as it isn't complete junk it'll get you through Elite. There are single player missions available to get used to the concept, and the first one is specifically designed for testing controls in a non hostile environment. Also, since it's in space you have way more directions for movement (including flying while facing backwards, strafing, etc). It's certainly less restrictive than aircraft in atmosphere. |

Too late, already drank the Kool Aid...Thrustmaster HOTAS X and TrackIR 5 bundle on the way 
I'm glad the game has a solo mode...I can noob things up without embarrassing myself horribly by crashing into other people 
Now off to buy the game...I'll post a user name later. |

When you jump into most systems there is a marker called nav beacon, this is the point in which all npc ships converge on when they hyperdrive into a system. Just have to camp the zone and rake in the goods. Be advised though other players can drop in as well as other pirates, patrols, psychopaths, etc. FYI, tobacco can sell for more than gold at the right stations |

Well, got it installed and played for a little while last night...all right, I played ALL night 
This is a lot of fun, even with keyboard and mouse. Going to be awesome with stick and throttle. Write your keybinds down, there are a mega shit ton of them. Only lost one ship early on when I discovered that the Station AI's are just a wee bit touchy about loitering near the entrance...yeah, don't do that. I was sweating hard by the time I accomplished the first landing...it does get easier with practice. Found a nice profitable 3 way trade run and now have a Hauler with a full load of cargo ready to go when I log in again...soon. Still some bugs and the occasional crash, to be expected of course, it's still Beta after all. I really didn't think I would like a space flight sim...I'm glad I was wrong

Confirmed: Track IR is fucking AWESOME!
After years of 'training' to reduce the whole 'moving-the-controller-through-the-air-to-help-the-onscreen-action' syndrome, the Wii came out. And that used the aforementioned syndrome. And then the motion controls in 3DS, Dualshock 3, and smartphones. And now, I have Track IR, so all my head craning in flight sims trying to keep the enemy in sight, or glance out a side window while flying a pattern has come to be a benefit! Very cool, and so easy to setup! Literally plugged it in, updated the software, selected Elite, hopped in my Sidewinder and was looking around my cockpit. |

I don't think we get the second ship and stuff till release. Now, I wish they would re-open the chance to 'pre-order' future expansions. But, I think that was only on the $150 Alpha pre-order. |

I'm glad I FO'ed, even though it's still in beta...even added a TM HOTAS X set-up to my already cluttered desk. The learning curve is steep, especially with a keyboard and mouse set-up. Stick with it, it's worth it. Be prepared for bugs, it's beta after all... Beta 2.0 is scheduled for release 9/30, increases the available star systems from 55 to 500, new ship, individual performance ratings, etc. You do get the final game when you buy the beta, but you will not get all the later upgrades for free, that's reserved for the Alpha backers only...I missed it by 4 days 
There will be vanity items (custom paint jobs, for example) for sale for real money, but not pay-to-win stuff. There will also be in-game ads...it's a turn-off for some, but no monthly bill means I'll put up with it. I never thought I'd enjoy a flight/space sim, but I'm digging Elite:Dangerous

So, guys. A few questions:
There's all these combat zones where you go kill Feds. Do we want to do this? I mean, I go to a lot of places that are in Fed space, I don't want to suddenly be kill on sight there. Or, is that a war only place and you don't have to worry about factions and stuff if you participate in there? Reason I ask, is I am tired of doing trade runs in my Sidewinder making at most a couple hundred credits. I want to try out different ships, and I'm never going to get one at that rate, so I'm ready to start some combat. That seems to pay better. All my trade run info is old, and I am currently losing a lot of money on runs. Any good sites that are up-to-date on the commodities? I got to see my first capital ship tonight! I was enroute somewhere, and saw a Federal Distress Signal, and for once, dropped out of Supercruise and found the spot. So, a dreadnaught was under attack from the Eranins. Since I have no dog in the fight, I sat and watched them for a bit. Was fun. EDIT: (I am seeing stuff on the forums that the Eranins are communist. But, the Feds and them are in a dispute over alcohol. So...I dunno still!) |

Don't really know much, the devs are keeping it close to the vest. We'll know more on the 30th... Hoping they don't wipe my Lakon Type-9 and 12 million credits...but they probably will.

Yeah, I've been reading a bunch of threads on the various factions. We'll just have to see. However, the Feds sure are coming off bad, with these black ops missions to kill civilians in some kind of false flag setup. I think I'll just try to stay neutral till we see if factions matter or not.
And yeah, I hope there's no wipe. I have nothing to lose, honestly, but I know how much work goes into getting the bigger ships, so it would suck for those guys. Although, I am looking forward to a larger universe and hopefully a more stable economy so that I can finally start to make some money on runs. Only being able to haul 4 tons makes for slow going on finances! |

Yeah. The nerfed the commodity markets to 'force' us to test out the missions. Which is fine. I made enough money in one night that I was able to buy a hauler. Course, I just flew it around to get a feel for it, and none of the missions were doing the 16T of cargo I configured it for. So, I sold it and got an eagle to try. And, of course, all the missions then were for 8 and 16T runs.
I haven't been on for a week or so though. I believe Beta 3 is going live maybe next week? |

Beta 3 is going to drop on Tuesday...near 2500 star systems, up from the current 500 or so... ...can own more than 1 ship. ...mining introduced. And it won't be a complete wipe. Ships will be gone, but you'll get the credits back, plus whatever bank you have. I'm well set up for cash, so I'm going to outfit a mining ship and bash asteroids.

Just ordered a X-55 Rhino. It'll be here Tuesday! Honestly, biggest reason I settled on it after looking at tons of reviews, is it's excessively awesome throttle unit. All those momentary switches!
Can't wait to get it, and configure it for both ED and SC. Man, that thing, along with the Track IR.... Granted, my wife will probably have me summarily executed when she sees it, but...hopefully I get a couple flights in with it first! |

I got Star Trek: Voyagered today!
I picked up a mission from Hay Point to deliver some auto-fabricators to Bresnik Mine in G 239-25 for a little under 10K. When I got to the station, there was no Bulletin Board to turn in the mission at. So, I alt-tabbed out, and was typing up the bug report. Was doing the hardware scan for the ticket, my PC BSoD'ed. When I logged back in, I was no longer in Bresnik Mine! I was about 15 LY away, in LFT-880, sitting inside Baker Station. So, I worked my way back to Hay Point, hoping to re-pick up the Mission, but no go. Also, the game no longer recognizes my cargo in the commodities market, so I can't sell these auto-fabricators. I launched, and tried to jettison them in orbit, but they won't jettison. This is preventing me from upgrading and selling the ship, and of course, taking up 4 tons of cargo space. I submitted a ticket. Anyone know how to get rid of that quest cargo in my bay? No point in having a cargo hauler if half the bay is occupied with ghost crap... |
