Since this has nothing to do with VR, moved it here. This discussion is mostly about the X Games (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(video_game_series)),
this post discussing X3: Reunion.
If you are doing Terran Conflict, which game did you start, Terran Defender of Humble Merchant? Where do you go to pick up mission in this game? Granted I’m looking at tutorials so I expect to find the answers eventually.
What controller are you using? I hooked up my Logitech, Extreme 3D Pro and it was not recognized by the game. It sees my xbox 360.
this post discussing X3: Reunion.
I purchased the Terran Warpack DLC for $6 on sale with both Terran Conflict and Alban Prelude. I’m still messing with it. The Flight School is sad. It does not appear like the guy is really paying attention to what you are doing and just moves on if you don’t keep up.I just downloaded X3 and X Rebirth.
It is actually a great price this weekend on Steam - $18 for all 4 plus DLC. I had purchased X2 last Christmas for the $2.49 to try it, but I tried it and saw that it needed a lot of time and just put it off. Didn't mind having to buy it over again the bundle as this bundle is really a great deal for all of them.
With that said, X3 is great - ship designs are awesome. But, of course, the Flight School mode just throws you out there in space...
I use a 40" 4K TV now and in 4K mode, the text is very-tiny as I don't think 4K was in mind, though it has a 4K mode and everything looks really nice and good fps since it is an older game. Gonna have to find out if I can enlarge the UI text or just use 1080p.
For X Rebirth - it is designed with more modern machines in mind, but 4K/Ultra is really taxing on my RX 470 (should've spent the extra $75 on that RX 480, but will get a Vega next year). Able to use it in 1440p/Med-High getting close to 60fps.
Same with X Rebirth - you get thrown out there to figure stuff out on your own. Was nice to just fly around trying the different graphics settings. The designs are beautiful, and while I was just standing still a Police Ship stopped by and did a "routine scan" then flew off - kinda cute...
I can see how there are fans of this X series, and it is a great time to get it cheap for all of it, minus the VR. It will just take time to learn and get use to. Seems much easier than EVE Online (I tried that - boy, what a complex game). Plus, you can just fly around and explore if you want (like No Man's Sky in Explorer's Mode).
Definitely worth it for me, a Space Sim Fan, for the $18. Don't know about the VR, unless I already have a PC headset and can get it even cheaper than it is on sale right now for $20 (maybe $10? It is only based on X Rebirth: Home of Light DLC).
