Hi all,

I have recently bought the game for the gear vr, and I was told that it should be possible to play in third person mode too. How can this mode be activated? Many thanks.

Third-person mode is not supported in the VR versions, sorry.

Then why did a dev said to me that it was in his reply to my review of the game in the oculus store?

I was mistaken. It had been disabled, and I didn't know. But we will look at re-enabling it as an option in the near future.

i've done this just fine.

I have a Gear VR and you can put it in third-person mode under Options in the Game Settings area. I find that it's a little goofy to fly around in that view with the VR, but that may just be because I'm not used to VO yet.

The keybind works too but it takes effect at next dock or jump. Better as an alias with an echo telling you which mode you queued.

The menu version is immediate.

It's nice to be able to look at the ship you worked to get and watch it fly a bit. You wouldn't probably use it during combat since it might be disorienting, but nice to see you aren't just a disembodied camera flying around.

Like I said, you can do it but it works on next dock/launch or jump. (OR you can do it instantly in the menu!)

I made an alias. You copy this into the wgaf.cfg file in the android, data ,com.guildsoft .... gearvr folder.

You would also need to scroll down and bind "meview" to a button on your gamepad, or save /meview to M1 (for example) as a keyboard shortcut.

alias meview1 "set flightCameraMode 1; alias meview meview2; echo '3rd Person Mode Buffered'"
alias meview2 "set flightCameraMode 0; alias meview meview1; echo '1st Person Mode Buffered'"
alias meview "meview1"

I also have some nice chat aliases. :-)
