Gotta say I’ve really enjoyed my 2 hours with this, once I’ve got used to the controls- ideal for £26

I instantly remapped those.
No inverted flight as default!?
Throttle and roll in the left stick, pitch and yaw on the right.
I will have to have a proper hunt through the mapping options because I’d like a set throttle to X binding. The one issue with having roll and throttle on the left stick is powering up and down by accident in the heat of manoeuvres.

I’m not. Don’t have a pc capable.

I have PSVR but I don’t want it full of puke.

Definitely invert pitch. But would it not make sense to have yaw with throttle? If possible. Yaw is usually less of an aggressive move compared to roll.

I don’t like pitch and roll on the same stick. I think it feels like a weird mini joystick and you have a giants hand.
I think my weird preference stems from a very old Bad Company chopper sticks setup that has nestled into muscle memory and now I can’t shake it.

Had a hissy fit waiting for CDKeys and bought it on the store. Have requested a refund and seconds later the code arrived. If anyone wants a download code for £29 I won’t bother going through with the refund. Xbox One version.

Awesome, chucked you the code so put it in and if all is cool I’ll chuck you the deets. I’ll trust you....

What the shit is this fleet battles shite? All the reviews are raving about it, so I just put the 'tutorial' on.

It tells me to shoot enemy ships, which I do, then take on the capital ships, which I do, and then nothing. I assume I'm supposed to destroy Star Destroyer next, but it isn't prompting me to.

I attacked the Star Destroyer for around 45 minutes but had no idea if I was doing anything to it, as there's no damage indicator. It looked like it was getting damaged, but surely after 45 minutes of the same strafing run it should have exploded? Ended up turning it off bored out of my mind.

I've just watched a video of somebody else doing the exact same tutorial and it talked them through everything.

My game am borked.

Maybe you accidentally selected the option to be guided by the Force.

I played a bit of this last night on PSVR (just the prologue and first mission).

From a VR point of view I thought it was a slightly mixed bag. Firstly, and most importantly, I Did Not Vomit.  This is quite an achievement as VR tends to make me hurl unless I'm playing something where you're entirely fixed in space, or its on fixed rails. (Sometimes even then.)  I was genuinely impressed, with only the slightest bit of nausea when I started doing insane barrel rolls for no particular reason (which, let's face it, I would definitely have in reality too). I suspect the compact cockpits have something to do with it.

Equally the VR certainly adds to the experience, particularly in the X-Wing where you can easily peer out the sides of the ship or, if you're me, regularly turn round to say hello to your droid. Spotting an enemy fighter by looking over your shoulder, then swinging round to get them - rather than relying on your scanners - is really satisfying.

Where it falls down - and this is a problem I suspect is exclusive to PSVR, is that the visual fidelity isn't that great.  Stuff looks fine close up, but those little TIEs in the distance? Not so much.  It's still fun, but a lot of the time I felt I was hunting down blurs rather than enemy fighters. 

Still, so far, I'm having fun with it - even if I suck (online multiplayer, when I get to it, will likely be a car crash).

I turn the supersampling up and it helps loads.

I just sat and gawped at this hanger for around 5 minutes. Worth the money.

Binned the flight stick and throttle because what a ball ache setting that up each time then trying to remember the unfamiliar button positions.

This is right up my beggars canyon though. Bloody loving every second and can't stop thinking about playing it again.

PC + WIRELESS QUEST + XBOX PAD = 42

Do it.
And your journey to the dark side will be complete.

Really enjoying the SP but having finally got that Fleet Battle tutorial to work I fail to see how playing it online vs others will be anything but garbage.
