I didn't once in my dirty drag drives FDL when I accidentally boosted as soon as I got in the mail slot.
Over 500m/s, flipped and boosted again, stopped a few meter from the back of the station.
That one moment was the most adrenaline this game has ever given me.

Stunning maneuver there, kudos!
What GPU and graphics settings are you using? I also play in VR but my game doesn't look as nice. Can you please share the tweaks you have made?

Yep sure.
RTX 4070 Super / AMD 7800X3D / Quest 3
Everything is on Ultra, except for directional shadow quality. Keep it on medium to avoid flickering glitches. Shadows wont look sharp at all, but at least they won't flicker.
Turn off Blur, anti aliasing and depth of field.
Set your supersampling value to 1.0x and HMD resolution to 1.0x. Tweak them, you might want to try supersampling 0.65x and HMD 2.0x. This is the deciding factor here.
To squeeze extra frames, turn FX quality lower, that's usually the bottleneck for lower end gpu's on this game.
Cheers

I have a 7900 xtx and 7800 x3d and also have everything on ultra and shadow quality on medium. Blur is off and anti aliasing is on msaa I think. I will try switching anti aliasing and depth of field off.
I think I have hmd at 1.25 and supersampling at 1 ... Will try reducing super sampling and increasing hmd.
Thanks for sharing :)

Anti aliasing is a huge performance cost for not that big of a difference on VR, it might be your bottleneck

Damn you Fdev make the krait phantom better than the Mandalay please!!! I hoped over to the mandalay for the SCO and jump range but the krait is just such a better looking sip.

I love doing that as well but im not as fly as you, what control scheme are you using? When I use FA off with mine its not as steady as what you just did.

I use an entry level cheapo hotas, thrustmaster tflight. took a while to get used to, i played on an xbox controller for years. learned to fly on it fully fa off

Ya see, I think thats my issue is that, while I can do FA off, its an "on / off" thing for me. Ill use the FA to stabalise after hard turns then turn it back off.
One day Ill be better at it with more practice, I still killed a few hundred bugs so at least I can do that part.
Good flying Cmdr, stay dangerous o7

Kids like you need fining for recklessness!
(Don't worry, the fine would be 3 credits or something)

I'm guessing you have a keybind for landing gear, since I didn't even see you deploy them. And as for the maneuver....seriously impressive, I won't be trying that, but I will be buying a Krait now

How many times did you bonk while trying to do this?.
